Typical leftists. They’re the self-annointed champions of ‘the people’, except when the people vote to get rid of them.

Brazil, which is increasingly flexing its muscles as its economy becomes more powerful, refuses to recognize the vote.

Sometimes I get the feeling Obama is not telling us everything that is going on with Brazil:

WSJ: If President Obama has embraced offshore drilling in Brazil, why not in the old U.S.A.? The land of the sorta free and the home of the heavily indebted has enormous offshore oil deposits, and last year ahead of the November elections, with gasoline at $4 a gallon, Congress let a ban on offshore drilling expire....Americans are right to wonder why Mr. Obama is underwriting in Brazil what he won't allow at home.

“Brazil will maintain its position because it’s not possible to accept a coup,” President Luiz Inacio Lula da Silva said on Sunday.

But he would have gladly welcomed Zelaya if he had managed to subvert the constitution of Honduras and set himself up as dictator for live ala Chavez. For that matter, so would Obama.

Honduras' disputed presidential election is likely to set Washington against emerging Latin American power Brazil over whether to recognize the winner of a vote promoted by the leaders of a June coup.

Is the winner a candidate promoted by Zeyala's political party? I thought the winner was from a different party.

Or did they mean the "vote" was promoted by the leaders of the "coup"? Of course, it wasn't a coup, but the vote wasn't "promoted" by them either, it was the regularly scheduled election. Zeyala was trying to circumvent that election somehow.
