read on bloomberg that Zelaya is demanding strong US support for his return to power.. However, ole Obama, as usual, is hedging and getting close to throwing Zelay under the bus.

I really want to move to SC.

But I’m afraid that if I do, it will suddenly turn purple like PA did.

Somebody at the WH reads and analyzes FR. They're using us like an encounter session (if not a full blown flcus group) ~ and they must have caught the bit about nipping American imperialism in the bud by leaving Honduras alone!

Leftwingtards are such suckers for slogans.

Apparently, Zelaya FAILED to have a closed door session with his supreme court before re-election!

Serves him right for NOT Covering ALL his bases before taking power.... the twit!

ZerO’s problem is he missed school the day they taught about separation of powers. He's convinced there is really only one branch of government and he is it.

I wish that I could say that you are wrong, but sadly you’re on the mark. My hometown of Asheville has passed the point of no return, and here in Raleigh we’re reaching critical mass of them. Must be overflow from Chapel Hill...

Snippet from press media in Canada!

I would like to see the U.S. Armed Forces engaged in a similar action here!!

“Behold the man. Behold the coward.

By contrast when Honduras’ legislature and supreme court acted to remove President Manuel Zelaya, a close ally of Chavez, who had fired the head of the army and attempted to stage a coup by violating the Constitution, Obama and his people have been working around the clock to restore Zelaya to power, even while stating that they want the whole thing to be “free from external influence and interference” (the hypocrisy on that line alone is almost enough to choke even Chavez himself). The question is why?

But of course it’s not that difficult of a question. Not when you think like a coward. Not when you think like Obama. Why wouldn’t Obama panic at the sight of a Congress and Supreme Court removing a left wing Socialist President who violated the Constitution in pushing to make himself el-presidente for life, by violating term limits. Let alone the military dumping said President across border.

Obama no doubt has nightmares of waking up on a C-31 transport to Kenya, after enough of his wrongdoing leads him to being booted out of the White House by what remains of the American legislative and judicial infrastructure.

Today Manuel “ALBA” Zelaya. Tomorrow it could be Barry “Hussein” Obama. And Barry knows better than anyone else the full catalog of lies, crimes and scandals brewing beneath his regime. Obama’s rise to power has been part of an American hemisphere trend that covers the likes of Chavez, Zelaya, Correa, Silva and even the return of Kerry’s old buddy, Ortega, to power in Nicaragua. What all of them have in common with Obama is a left wing socialist agenda that ignores the rule of law. An attack against Zelaya, could in Obama’s mind be seen an attack against him equally.

If the rollback of socialist tyranny begins in Honduras, it might spread. If Brazil, Venezeula and Ecuador follow— might not the democractic revolution spread to America as well, and make the Prince of Chicago’s throne shakier than ever?

That is how a coward thinks, and Obama is nothing if not a coward. And like all cowards, he knows how little he deserves what he has, and how easy it would be for him to lose it all. A gang of greedy and deluded followers, and a nationwide 24/7 propaganda blitz can only do so much. After all there isn’t a socialist tyrant in the hemisphere who hasn’t had the same thing. And yet the latest of them is enjoying a well deserved vacation in Venezuela. A profile in cowardice. A liar and a manipulator who serves his own ends first and his host country’s, last.

Heavy hangs the head that wears the ill-gotten crown. From one corner of the globe to another, Obama flits back and forth, delivering speeches and posing for photos. Like a rat rubbing against a rosebush, hoping some of the loose petals will attach themselves to him so that he can appear more like a rosebush and less like a rat, Obama hopes that going through the motions of being a world leader will actually get people to confuse him with a world leader.

Yet his mumbling silence on Iran speaks far more eloquently about the sort of man Obama is, than all his scripted speeches ever could. Obama has been compared to JFK, but what he represents is no profile in courage, but a profile in cowardice. A liar and a manipulator who serves his own ends first and his host country’s, last. Who proclaims, Ask not what I can do for your country, Ask what your country can do for me. And above all else, a craven coward.”

How come we always get such from foreign countries’ media and not from the Slimes, Compost or LA Slimes??? Those medias are more involved in who got the death-story of M.J. first than real issues as mentioned above. The U.S. journalism died long ago. I like the “C-31”!!!
