Per their accompanying article:

US President Barack Obama has described the removal of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya as illegal.

His remarks came after left-wing Latin American leaders declared their support for the deposed leader, who was expelled by the military on Sunday.

~~~

Our correspondent says that even though the international community regards the exiled leader as the legitimate leader of the country, any comeback will not be easy.

Speaking after a meeting with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe, Mr Obama said Mr Zelaya remained the democratically-elected leader of Honduras.

Until I see a legitimate birth certificate I consider him an illegal President. Does that count?

At the beginning I pretty much ignored the birth certificate deal but somehow spending over $1M to keep it secret made me wonder especially after he is friends with Muslims and our enemies while dissing our best friend Britain. Made me wonder since Britain was over Kenya when he was born if he resented Britain for that reason.

Now with the difference between his stand on Iran and Honduras, I don’t wonder anymore. He is a friend of Communist/Muslim leaders and not freedom loving people.

When defenders of the Honduran constitution argued for military protection of constitutional law, Obammie the Commie was heard to have defended the dictator of Honduras by saying,

“He won.”

I was an early skeptic myself but there are just too many unanswered questions and completely insane behaviors.

Exactly as I see it.

Can you imagine if a Republican had so completely refused to show so basic a document to verify eligibility?

Look what they did to McCain who was born in the Panama Canal to a Navy officer and his wife. If McCain had not provided all the info, they would have crucified him in the media.

When it came to ZERO, NOTHING was said.

If Honduras buckles and let’s this guy back in there will be a major purge, constitutional rewrite, presidential decrees, new “security” laws, and they will never get rid of him.

No one spends that kind of money to keep their birth certificate secret and then lawyers get the Hawaiian Registrar to also keep it sealed. That makes no sense.

His birth records along with all his school records and then we have the passport records — all sealed. WHY?

I think when you run for President all records should be an open book when you are looking to be the leader of the United States. Who cares what grades you made but I do care if you were listed as a foreign student.
