In Honduras the congress grew uncomfortable with their presidents attempt to seize dictatorial power. Things like asking Hugo Chavez to run the election made them nervous so in a near unanimous vote in congress and supreme court they ordered him to step down or face arrest.

Obama immediately came to the defense of the “impeached” president and the media ran with a narrative that constantly used the word “coup” despite the fact it was a constitutionally mandated removal.

When Obama started getting beat up over it here he changed sides. From what I’m reading lately, our state department is trying to talk Honduran congressmen into letting the wannabe dictator return.

Appreciate the summary.

Since Obama’s presidency began, I’ve often wondered about his resolute stance regarding most countries, yet selective non-interference in a few key others. I believe he considers himself rather politically savvy & polished. Unfortunately, for him, that is not how he is seen in many other quarters by ordinary people, and it is becoming more obvious day by day.
