I fear that Obummer will try a similar power grab in the USA.

Honduran President Manuel Zelaya tried to play the Chavez gambit, even though the Honduran Supreme Court had already unequivocally declared the Referendum (for the President to be able to run indefinitely!) as unconstitutional. The Honduran National Congress, where the majority of its members belong to the ousted president’s own party, voted to remove him in a procedure fully in accordance with the Honduran Constitution. The Honduran Army by detaining and exiling Zelaya was only following the directive of its Congress.
Venezuela’s malodorous piece of Devil’s excreta, Hugo Chavez, and Cuba’s Castro felt this action was akin to a coup and immediately protested their ally’s removal from office. Such reaction from those two was expected, what is surprising is how fast Obama reacted and who he chose to align himself with…
[..]In spite of all the video evidence of the Ayatollahs’ brutal crackdown on the protesters, in spite of mounting evidence that some of the forces engaged in the crackdown belonged to Lebanon’s Hizbullah and Gaza’s Hamas, not only did US President Obama take his time before protesting but his words against the Ayatollahs showed less concern for the Iranians than his defense of Zelaya. Yet, in spite, of the blood on the paws of Ahmedinejad and his attack dogs, in spite of the heartfelt pleas for a strong statement against the Iranian regime… Obama could not bring himself to utter words of strong condemnation against the Ayatollahs… it just wasn’t important enough!

Cuba is also a funny one...because they got in power via a real coup. Honduras was following the rule of law, so zero being against the rule of law really isn’t surprising. I suspect he had hoped to run for a permanent Presidency by popular vote and call it the will of the people (and that’s why he may be standing with his communist brothers).
Birds of a feather flock together, nothing else needs to be said consider our POS president.
I see why the deposed leader is O’s new best friend.
Birds of a feather.
I fear that Obummer will try a similar power grab in the USA.

It sounds like the people in authority, in the government acted in such a way — to prevent a “coup” from happening. Zelaya is the one who was trying to carry through on a coup. They simply stopped him before he got the chance to pull it off...
