United States calls for Honduran president to be reinstated
Jerusalem Post ^ | 6/28/09 | staff

Posted on 06/28/2009 7:05:52 PM PDT by Nachum

US diplomats are working to ensure the safety of deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya and his family as they press for restoration of constitutional law and his presidency.

President Barack Obama called Sunday for "all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter" as the Central American crisis unfolded.

For those conditions to be met, Zelaya must be returned to power, US officials said

Good thing we’re not trying to force our ideals on another country.

Notice how his rules only apply to countries that hate the US.

The former President attempted to change the Honduran Constitution to allow himself to run for another term. He wanted to do this via a referendum, even though the Honduran Constitution may not be amended via referendum. He was overruled at every level, yet persisted. Therefore he was arrested and deposed. Yet Obama argues that the rule of law requires the return of this Chavezian thug to office, even though said thug was violating the rule of law.

Suppose George W Bush declared a few years ago that he was going to change the Constitution via a referendum so he could run again. Do you think the mainstream media would be spinning the story the way they’re spinning the Honduras story?

“Quick, quick - he's a Lefty. Get him back in power.”

Ignore the Honduras Supreme Court, The Military, etc., etc.

And Commie SHALL support Commie!

How in the Hell can this turd of an administration call for the rule of law for a President who violated the rule of law?

It’s amazing how 0bama manages to come down on the wrong side of every world conflict.
First for Hamas, then for Ayatollahs, now for the wanna-be leftist dictator of Honduras.

I wonder where 0bama will come out if Chavez invades Honduras.
Will he give his buddy his blessings?
Will he lend him American military support?

When is our military going to remove our unconstitutional Leftist usurper?

That only fits when the enemy is left-wing (or communist b*stard),

When they are a right-wing or Christian people; it’s ok to meddle: See Honduras, Israel, Serbia, or (His lack of action) on Iran!

Hey Obama... you need to pay attention here...

The Honduran Supreme Court said that Zelaya was doing an illegal run around the Constitution and then the Honduran CONGRESS took a vote and kicked Zelaya out. This is the way the democracy is supposed to work...

Apparently there are three branches of power in the government to PREVENT the kind of crap Zelaya was trying to pull... and it worked...

In so many words... try pulling this crap in USA and let's see how fast you are put on a one way trip to Kenya...

The Hondurans, being the law abiding folks that they are, did not drag his bloody torso through the streets.

I wonder if they will pay for this delicacy of sentiment.

This is insane. Essentially, their president was impeached because he has specifically gone ahead and done exactly what the legislature and their Supreme Court had told him not to do, thereby forfeiting his position. They removed him and sent him away, as is their right.

But the former Honduran prez was another one of Chavez’ buds, and all Bambi needed to hear was that Chavez was unhappy about it and he rushed right up to support his dear fellow dictator Chavez.

I can’t believe we’re doing this. Well, “we” aren’t; but that we have a US president doing this is shameful. I long for the day when Obama gets impeached - as he will, or perhaps he’ll simply be removed when it turns out that he was ineligible in the first place.

Let Chavez commence military action and the let the US covertly or overtly remove that pig-face from the playing board.

Oh...that's right...we would need Americans running the US for that to happen.

Of course Obama finds nothing wrong with what Zelaya tried to do...in Obama’s mind, Zelaya was doing what he felt was best, so his nation’s constitution be damned. Who needs those pieces of paper getting in the way when there’s social justice that needs dispensing?

Just ask Sonia Sotomayor; I’ll bet she tells you that the U.S. Constitution is a “living document” and can be followed or ignored by an elected official depending on their feeeelings on a particular issue.

How astonishingly pathetic it is that we have this dope as our President.

Since Congress in not in session today, Sun,
where there are Republicans, They will
have much to say this week.

But since many Americans sat at home or voted third
party, we don’t have Republicans in charge.

Hope they are enjoying Obama

Obama intends to be president for life, and doesn’t like it when others with similar aspirations are not permitted to override their countries’ constitutions to allow that to happen. Of course, a constitution is a silly thing in Obama’s eyes.

Nobama ain't going to try much other than waste American business and steal whatever he and his buddies can before we show him the gate. And he'll be damn lucky to be escorted out.

The only Military backup nobama will have is from cuba and venezuela and that'll be like him bringing a pocket knife to a gun fight.
