What could be more democratic than the vote of the people to oust this wannabe dictator who wanted to change the Honduras constitution, removing the term limits of Presidents from one term to when-ever. The people said no along with the entire legislature,their supreme court and eventually the military removed him from office according to their laws and what right does our president want him reinstated and has nothing to say to the Iranian hoodlums? What could be more democratic and peaceful (unlike Iran where Obama has had nothing to say about the ACORN type election or the killing of peaceful unarmed protesters in the streets). The election is strongly believed to have been rigged by stuffing the ballet boxes by supporters of the sitting president and refusing to make a full recount or have the ballets validated plus all foreign reporters expelled and most all communication shut down inside Iran and to the outside world while blood of the citizens are running in the streets. Obama is aware but says nothing except that he wants to continue a dialogue with that dictator, yet in a legal coup and peaceful ousting of another dictator he has everything to say. Why ? Anyone can Google the following information. Jan 6, 09 Rep. Jose Serrano (D-NY) introduced legislation (H.J.5) that is still pending which will repeal the 22nd amendment to the constitution thereby removing the limitation on the number of terms an individual may serve as United States President. Could it be that He(Obama)may soon be doing the same when he feels the time is right in this country? Obama seems to be very friendly to all Marxist regimes throughout Latin America and wherever they may be found throughout the world. Some like myself believe that he is setting the stage for even bigger events in the future after he feels that the world stage is in place with his agenda. Take a look back at all that has happened within the past six months and with placing key persons in positions and czar's that are very loyal to him to get things rolling whenever they are given the okay. He has already begun to disarm our military and defense systems and have ordered our military to give Miranda rights to combatants on the battle field who are there to kill our military men and women. How could this be when that law applies only to the citizens in the USA ? Buying up giant companies with US citizen tax dollars and saying that they are not controlled by the government when in fact they are controlled by the government and the government firing replacing the CEO'S with his own people, that is nothing less than socialist. The latest (HR 2454) Cap and trade bill that just passed through Congress,if it passes through the Senate it will totally fracture all that America use to be and will cause the loss of many jobs. No one really has a total on the cost as of yet but it will be a much,much greater cost than what is being reported by the government run media. Next is the socialist health care, also dental and eye care for everyone that has no means to pay including illegals that are in the US. The cost is already estimated to cost several trillion American dollars, where will those funds come from when we are already drowning in dept? Next will come the disarming of Americans by ratifying the UN treaty to disarm the American citizens with foreign storm troopers along with his special police/military units that will have all the fire power and equipment they will need. Some US reporters have captured on video what is suppose to be training for this already in various areas of the US. This present administration and the people that are being put into place by it are enough to scare the hell out of anyone. If everyone they would pay attention to what is happening while the Congress and Senate sit on their hands with the exception of a few that are trying to speak out only to find their voices falling on deaf ears and blinders that only permit the people they are trying to reach to see only where they are walking. This present day situation has been in the making for the past three or four generations and started with the dumbing down of our children in our public school system and most parents were working two jobs or no job at all. No one had time to join the PTA or they could care less. Eventually God was removed from the children and no one dare to pray in class or school sporting events. Then later any reference to God was removed from our courtrooms and public square where it created a void and is continuing almost every day somewhere in the US where ACLU is filing some one into court on the taxpayer dime. All these voids are being filled with things that are not so nice. Now we are at peril with nothing much to look forward to and the bottom is yet to fall out. Neighbors and friends loosing their jobs, homes and their life savings due to a few in our government that demanded to doing things the wrong way and then try to cover up their lies, should be in jail instead of continuing to pass more restricting laws for the rest of society. So here we are in a tail spin with what seems to be no way out and a president and his administration passing more laws and growing bigger and more powerful after each law passes into law of the land. What ever happened to the way that it use to be when we the people voted our elected officials into office and they worked for us ? I pray that it is not too late for our beautiful and wonderful America and it will be if we will not stand up and say no more, enough is enough in one voice and begin to protest in mass in a peaceful manner and let our voices be heard throughout this free land while there is some freedom left in it. We need to take our country back from top to bottom and I hope and pray that day is coming soon...........Wake-UP and smell the coffee, people! Doing nothing or letting someone else worry about the way things are will gain nothing but sorrow, maybe sooner than we may think.

Obama is not happy with the idea the President of Honduras didn't complete his ILLEGAL take over of the Honduran Government.

I remember in the Cold War, when America help overthrow socialist/communist dictators. We had that opportunity in Venezuela and squandered it.

The Kenyan is being totally consistent. In other words he is a jacka$$ to the core.

The Honduran concept is that if a President has violated the constitution, and the trust of the people...he is no longer president. If I were an American president, in danger of violating the constitution and the trust of the people...I might feel some heat right now.
To: Macgedos
It’s quite simple, really:
Things in Iran are going the way the obamessiah WANTS them to go (his islamist marxist friend has remained in power); thus, it would be “arrogant” and “wrong” to interfere in another sovereign nation’s internal affairs.
Things in Honduras are NOT going the way the obamessiah wants them to go (i.e. his marxist friend was ousted); thus it is “good” and “proper” to “stand up for what is right” (read: what the obamessiah WANTS).

Why meddle in Honduras and not in Iran Several reasons.
1. The image of a president impeached and removed for violating the constitution makes him really, really nervous.
2. Honduras is a lot smaller than Iran.
3. He typically sides with muslims and leftists against constitutionalists. He just is who he is.
4. He very much wants the approval of guys like Chavez and Ahmadinejad. He really wants them to like him.
5. And Honduras is a lot smaller than Iran.

Obama Liked the results in Iran, don’t mess with success.
What he doesn’t like is leadership changes. Wonder why?

IMHO the man is trying to marshal his forces. He does this not only with his willing accomplices in Congress, but with his mass-media propaganda machine. He is of like mind with those like the ‘president’ of Iran, who used the Islamic branch of ACORN to gain office, and the ousted clown from Honduras, who wants to extend his terms in office to become . . . a dictator? Who would have thought, in their wildest dreams, that we would elect a man to lead our country who has more in common with Castro and Chavez than with JFK. Remember, he tried to pass himself off as the new JFK during the campaign.
