The president was arrested at his residence and transported aboard a military plane to an unknown destination, the newspaper La Prensa reported.

If you strike at the king,you had best kill him,because his vengeance on those who sought his removal will be harsh and bloody.The generals should have shot Chavez in that coup a few years ago;instead an emboldened little Commie dictator returned to destroying a nation.

Jeez, and outta the blue, this: Hung, HBO’s new comedy debuting at 10 p.m. on June 28, follows a broke high school coach who becomes a male prostitute to leverage his God-given “gift.” The show isn’t as sordid as one might think. It’s also not as funny or innovative as the saucy title portends.

What’s funny is how he bobbed and weaved on the situation on Iran and here he comes out backing the socialist before we can even make a joke about it.

I wasn’t joking, but I did think he’d “consult his advisors” before saying anything. I suppose expressing “concern” is a step down from expressing “grave concern” and much less serious than outright “reproach”.

“…I wasn’t joking…”

Yes, realized that after I read the link you offered. Thank you.

“…but I did think he’d “consult his advisors” before saying anything.”

Maybe he is beginning to worry about his own fat ass and jumped the gun. (Oooopppse. Can I say that?...Jump the gun?) It is just a guess.

PRESIDENT OBAMA “DEEPLY CONCERNED” ABOUT DETENTION AND EXPULSION OF HONDURAN PRESIDENT
______________
Oh I am sure he is. He’s worried it will happen to him when he attempts to stay in the WH forever.

It might go either way - a military that is used as a tool by the evil State and oppresses our nation, or a military that overthrows the oppressive State allowiug us to find our way back to the light.

Dictators get real nervous about stories like this. Note that Obama also expressed “concern”.

Drudge is saying Obama is "deeply concerned" about the expulsion.

I guess he's not afraid of being seen as interfering this time.

Costa Rica is the most vibrant democracy in the region, is the exile leftist there meant to add insult to injury?
