I find it interesting that Obama is quick to defend everyone from George Tiller, hard liners in Iran, and now freedom fighters in Honduras. It took him a few days to respond to the muslim that killed the recruiter in Arkansas, freedom fighters in Iran.

The country's Supreme Court last week came out against Zelaya and ordered him to reinstate fired military chief Vasquez. The court said on Sunday it had told the army to remove the president.

For many years, we've had our heads up every country a$$ on earth, always looking out for their best interest, while here at home, our economy and standard of living circles the drain...While tens of millions have entered illegally, driving down wages, choking off our prisons, schools, social services, hospitals etc...All due to corrupt and incompetent government leadership.

Obama was defending “freedom fighters?” Here’s what it said:

“President Barack Obama and the European Union expressed deep concern after troops came for Zelaya, an ally of socialist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, around dawn and took him away from his residence.”

I am not sure who he was defending, but it looks like he was expressing dismay that his leftist buddy was dethrowned in advance of his unconstitutional re-election bid.

The army threw him out because his hat wasn't big enough. In many of these latin American countries, the local dictator has to, more or less, have a super giant hat in order to gain the respect of the armed forces. I mean, the guy's hat was probably an extra to extra extra large, but it just wasn't big enough to cut it. He needed one of those humongous Styrofoam hats to gain the military's backing.

The first paragraph of the Reuters article reflects their leftwing bias:
....”after he upset the army by trying to seek another term in office.”
Here was a guy who was trying to pull a Hugo Chavez and become President for life, and the Supreme Court ordered the army to remove him to uphold their laws.
Of course, Obama will support him, just like he supported the election thieves in Teheran, because he might have the same thing in mind. Let’s remember that there is doubt as to whether he is qualified to be President at all.

I am not convinced he is on the side of the government, he just called for calm. That isn’t exactly a sign of stellar support.

If he had come out and said everyone else butt out, that would be a better response by the President.

I really fear that 0 will do nothing if Honduras is attacked by Chavez.

Yeah, right. Could the Reuters article be any more biased? One doesn’t find till halfway through the article the ousted Communist was trying to hold an illegal referendum to alter the country’s constitution to let him run for another term.

Figures Obama would defend another dictator trying to illegally stay in office.

U.S. President Barack Obama expressed deep concern after troops came for Zelaya,
an ally of leftist Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, at dawn and took him away from his residence.


With the plans he and his cohorts have, I'm not surprised that he would be concerned.

People get slaughtered in the streets of Iran for speaking out against vote fraud, where their election is being rigged and their will ignored.
bambi doesn't want to interfere...

The troops in Hondorus put a stop to Zelaya's plans to pull a hugo chavez on the Honduran people.
bambi isn't very happy about it and calls for everyone to obey the rule of law.

bambi chavez indeed ...

A faily peaceful end to the mater. The Army picked the guy up and gave him the bums rush to Costa Richa (not a bad place on its own merits)

He was still alive

So many SA dicators wind up at room tempature, this cat should be greatful to be sucking oxygen.....

The Kenyan may be a traitor to my country, but he is smart enough to do the minimum necessary to cover up his treachery to the gullible in this country.

Chavez’s threat is mostly hot air. He has four 25-year-old LST’s and 7800 marines to get the job done. Either that or he tries marching through Colombia (best of luck with that one), Panama, Costa Rica, and Nicaragua, just to get there. I really don’t see it.

When (or how) did Obama defend the hard-liners in Iran?

Well leave it to Reuters, it wasn't a military coup. The guy was trying to take over the government, he was voted out by the other branches of the government in a perfectly legal move according to their constitution, he wouldn't leave so they arrested him. If they were smart they would execute the guy.

So Bozo defends a wanna be dictator, more than likely shaking in his boots about what could happen here.
