The Honduran Army has ousted and arrested Chavez pal, and Obama supporter, President Manuel Zelaya. According to the Reuter's report:
The Honduran army ousted leftist President Manuel Zelaya and exiled him on Sunday in Central America's first military coup since the Cold War, after he upset the army by trying to seek another term in office.
~~~ Speaking on Venezuelan state television, Chavez -- who has long championed the left in Latin America -- said he would do everything necessary to abort the coup against his close ally.
A military plane flew Zelaya to Costa Rica and CNN's Spanish-language channel said he had asked for asylum there.
Also racing to defend Zelaya is the American POTUS... apparently now unafraid to "meddle" in foreign affairs while parroting the same meaningless words " deeply concerned":
“I am deeply concerned by reports coming out of Honduras regarding the detention and expulsion of President Mel Zelaya. As the Organization of American States did on Friday, I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. Any existing tensions and disputes must be resolved peacefully through dialogue free from any outside interference,” President Obama said in a brief statement on Sunday morning.
Interesting that the big Zero and (when it comes to Iranian human abuse and election fraud) Eunuch in Chief now solemnly evokes what he casts aside as unimportant INRE Iran... the promotion of democracy and the rule of law.

Is there any doubt about what’s in Whitey House?
Obama’s next apologetic tour is Central America where he can give warm fuzzies to the abused people running the country.
His meddling is simple, Honduras is a Christian nation, while Iran is a Muslim nation.
I wish our military would do the same thing here. I’d love to see that anti-American statist led away in handcuffs.
At what point does it actually become lawful for that to happen here? While I understand (sort of) the impeachment process - what if a POTUS were to so blatantly fly against the US Constitution and the US as a whole, and have a large enough majority of followers in the Congress/Senate to prevent such impeachment proceedings...
Just sayin’...
How long before Obama sends in the Marines and returns the Commies to their rightful place? Should be easy, as the US has a base in Honduras already. But maybe his stooge Chavez will do the dirty work for him.
