The Obama administration worked in recent days to prevent President Manuel Zelaya's ouster, said a senior U.S. official. The State Department, in particular, communicated to Honduran officials on the ground that President Barack Obama wouldn't support any nondemocratic transfer of power in the Central American country.
"We had some indication that a move against Mr. Zelaya was afoot," said a U.S. official briefed on the diplomacy. "We made it clear it was something we didn't support."

Barack Obama on Iran elections, June 17, 2009: "You know - I take a wait-and-see approach. Either way, it's important for the United States to engage in the tough diplomacy around those permanent security concerns that we have - nuclear weapons, funding of terrorism. ... It is not productive, given the history of US-Iranian relations to be seen as meddling - the US president, meddling in Iranian elections."
LIAR.

Obie's desire to clearly ignore the Honduran constitution and support an extension of this Marxist's term really doesn't bode well for US.

"We made it clear it was something we didn't support." They are so blind to their own glaring inconsistencies.

Yet the Iranian election was totally non democratic and a fraud and that was OK with Obama. Could it be the candidates are most important to Obama? ...in both Iran and Honduras they were socialists or dictators.

Hopefully, Glen Beck will have something to say about the Liar-in-Chief’s selective meddling foreign policy. Our resident appears to love Leftist tyrants everywhere, while insulting America’s allies.

Unbelievable what a political opportunist this guy is. He makes Bill Clinton look respectable.

Of course he’d work to prevent the ouster of Honduras’ president — he’s in the same ideological corner as the guy.

Hysterical. Setting aside that the good guys did the right thing in Honduras-I just love that a little Central American country told O to go screw himself. Even they know how weak he is.

Obie will create a Constitutional crisis at some point if one doesn’t already exist.

well said exactly. I’d wecome jimmah or clinton at this stage.

“President Barack Obama wouldn’t support any nondemocratic transfer of power in the Central American country”.
Instead Obama elected to support an attempted overthrow of the Honduran constitution and subversion of the courts and elected representatives of Honduras by a Chavez acolyte who wants to rule indefinitely. Constitutions are an inconvenient thing for Marxist thugs and apparently our president concurs.

Amazing how when people fight for democracy and freedom suffer, he has nothing to say, but when people who wish to oppress others are ousted, he's on that like white on rice.
Telling, indeed.

It was done by order from Honduran Supreme Court to the Honduran parliament. Zero doesn’t COMPLETELY rule the Supreme Court....yet. Maybe he’s afraid we’ll get ideas.....
If the Civilian CoC is seen as a traitor, can the Supreme Court order Congress to act, OR, can it exercise a military option if Congress refuses to act in order to preserve freedom in this country?
