Washington Wire - WSJ.com : The Challenges Facing Obama and Clinton:

"Zbigniew Brzezinski, a national-security adviser to President Carter, threw his support behind Barack Obama’s presidential campaign. In an interview airing this weekend on Bloomberg Television’s “Political Capital With Al Hunt,” Brzezinski said, “Obama is clearly more effective and has the upper hand. He has a sense of what is historically relevant and what is needed from the United States in relationship to the world.” Brzezinski, 79 years old, dismissed the notion that New York Sen. Hillary Clinton as more seasoned than Obama, 46, saying “being former first lady doesn’t prepare you to be president.” Obama “recognizes that the challenge is a new face, a new sense of direction, a new definition of America’s role in the world,'’ Brzezinski said."
