Brzezinski: Obama ‘Understands the World Better Than Any Other Politician’
PJ Tatler ^ | February 27, 2012 | Staff

President Obama got high praise from Jimmy Carter former national security adviser on his comprehension of foreign policy.

Still, Zbigniew Brzezinski had some words of caution for the current commander in chief about his meeting next week with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, saying Obama let himself be “humiliated” last time Bibi visited.

“Prior to the elections, they’ll be tempted to strike,” Brzezinski said of Israeli action toward Iran’s nuclear program on CNN’s “Fareed Zakaria GPS” Sunday. “And this is why I think the president, when he talks on to Netanyahu on March 5th, might take into account the fact that, first of all, he was humiliated the last time Netanyahu was around, and the president of the United States shouldn’t be so humiliated, and that he represents the American national interests.”

Zakaria noted that Brzezinski has given Obama sort of a “mixed grade” through his tenure.

“My view, however, is the following: one, he really understands the world better than any other politician,” Brzezinski said. “And I wouldn’t even waste time comparing him to what we hear from the Republican candidates for presidency, because that’s so unrealistic and so primitive that it’s embarrassing.”

He questioned whether Obama has the self-confidence to use that grand understanding well, saying of the Mideast peace process, “When push came to shove, he didn’t try.”

But Brzezinski said he would support Obama’s re-election “without question” this year.

“I mean, look at those Republican debates. I must say I am literally — I literally feel embarrassed as an American when I see those people orate,” he said. “One of them sounds like a medieval Savonarola. Another one is trying to explain why he has some of his wealth located in the Cayman Islands. And someone else would go back to 1780. And then there is someone who is using his credentials as a repudiated speaker of the Congress to be president. I mean, this is just embarrassing.”

About the most impressive thing Zbigniew Brzezinski ever did was learn to spell his name. None of the Carter Clowns are worth the crap on their shoes and Zbiggie is one of the worst.

“Has Zig suffered a stroke?”

You mean he’s still above room temperature?

Obama understands the world better than any other politician, if by understanding you mean “Zionism bad, Islam good.”

Brzezinski has been an enemy within the U.S. close to half a century, cockily undermining the safety of the U.S. and Israel. Some spies were sent to the U.S. as ordinary folks or middle level spies. For example, the crowed of Soviet spies that were whisked out of the U.S., after being here for many decades. This Brzezinsky was given a bully pulpit of an academic post and even an presidential executive post under Jimmy Carter and got useful idiot Democrats and Leftwing intelligentsia to follow him like a pied piper. His exotic accent and selfassuredness they took as a sign of intelligence.

The same kind of academic infiltration by enemies is happening today with those Islamic terrorist operatives for whom endowed chairs have been bought at so many universities. The two generations of brainwashed students of Brzezinski and the students of the Islamicists are today’s supporters of the Manchurian candidate, Barack Hussein Obama.

“I hope this doesn’t sound like a Polish joke or a put down of all things Polish, but the older he gets, it seems Zbig’s native Polish anti-Semitism becomes apparent.”

Zbig was a vocal enemy of the Jewish state even in the 1970s. He helped plant the seeds of making He polluted the brains of liberal clergy, including at least one prominent Conservative Rabbi.

Similarly today the terrorist front group C.A.I.R. cozy up to Christian and Jewish clergy to get them to hold programs that whitewash Islamic Jihad.

Brzezinski was still teaching at Columbia University during the couple of years in the 1980s when Obama claims to have been an upper class student there. Brzezinski from 1960 to 1989 headed Columbia’s Institute on Communist Affairs. Obama does talk about the terrorists’ terrorism inciter and Columbia professor Edward Said being someone at whose feet he sat while in the Columbia neighborhood. Undoubtedly Said and Brzezinski would know each other well.

Nah, no change in his mental status. He's always been a leftist, and now that the old left and the radical Islamic world have forged an unholy alliance with the goal of bringing down Western civilization, Brzezinski is staying true to the cause. And going on CNN with a left-leaning Arab interviewer makes a perfect forum for him to promulgate his noxious message.

A big part of it was probably the "Peace in our Times" (TM) agreement just signed with North Korea. We're going to send them LOTS of food, and they're going to dismantle their uranium enrichment program... Never mind all the agreements they've broken in the past, the best part of this one is that the Norks haven't used uranium in their warheads for some time. They use plutonium, which isn't covered in this "agreement."

IIRC, the Norks actually got their nuke program started during the Carter administration.

Only in Brezinski’s twisted world view was the one humiliated by Netanyahu

Oh, I don't know about that. Netanyahu really "schooled" Obama during that press conference, and you could see that Obama was trying to use the "Sheldon Cooper Death Stare" on Bibi. Obama was absolutely seething while Bibi was explaining to the press and the whole world why Obama was WRONG! If you remember,many in the press were seething too, since their lord had been put in their place, and they wondered, "How dare he?"
