Not to worry, Obama said he is “concerned”. The Honduran army is shaking in their boots right now.

Wait until Kenya has a coup, we’ll have special forces on the ground in no time flat......to secure the B. Hussein’s birth certificate of course.

So how is this a coup? It sounds like the military were following their oath of office and the order of the Supreme Court!

Coup [Prevented] in Honduras

There. Fixed it for them.

I can't believe that even an incompetent reporter would not know the definition of coup!

A coup can only target a government NOT an individual.

That Husein and Hillary don't know that either is no great surprise...

Not a coup. The Supreme Court and the Congress authorized the military action against the President, who was acting in violation of the Constitution.

I can see why Obama would be against this.

Honduran military to Zelaya: “At an end your rule is, and not short enough it was.”

They know it. Their aim is to subvert the meaning of phrases like "due process, rule of law and Constitutional order."
