Well at least there’s an accurate record in the major media now so that future historians (if they are allowed to report accurately) will be able to correctly report on the happenings in Honduras and Soetero’s support for the Marxist takeover of a democratic country. That’s about the best outcome I can see here.

Attempting to get rid of term limits should justify the immediate removal from office for any countries President.

It is crucially important to keep the truth in the public eye, despite the attempts of the mainstream press to confuse and hide it.

I have a really bad feeling about this. I think Obama would be perfectly willing to call out the troops we have in Honduras to force the return of his would-be dictator buddy, Zelaya, and I think this must be prevented at all costs. And the only thing that will prevent it is publicity.

Obama and Clinton are both despicable beasts who have shown absolute contempt for the rule of law and the governance of, for, and by the people. This, while most of us have known, absolutely shows where this leftist administration stands. God help us all.

The new info about drug ties could be an awfully sticky problem for Obozo since rushing out to support Zelaya

I suspect Obama is nervous, because his political ambitions could be just as undone, were a conservative (note, I did *not* say “Republican”) congress were to be seated.

The conservatives could repeal his Obamacare program, his Obamacorps brown shirts, then they could systematically dismantle 50 years of bloated and unconstitutional government. The federal government could be reduced in size by 50%, Social Security could be “concluded”, by allowing in no new taxpayers, and refunding those who paid into the system with tax breaks, except for the destitute.

Medical care could be privatized, ending Medicare and Medicaid, and the vast majority of US military forces could return home, with only a few critical overseas assignments still in operation.

And the national debt could be renounced. This would end US government credit for 30 years, so the government would have a balanced budget, whether it liked it or not. It would also force the US to rebuild all those outsourced industries, which in turn would restore the US economy to a firm foundation.

Zelaya should be detained and compelled to confess conspiracy against the people of Honduras on national television. Then he should be thrown into the darkest, more heavily-guarded dungeon in the country, never to be seen or heard from again (or even thought about).

Such is the risk one takes in pursuit of ultimate power.

Is anyone surprised? This fake phoney fraud is siding with his dictator fiends. Is anyone paying attention out thier? An American president is siding with marxists dictators against a democratic society. Where does that leave us? Do you think he has the same ideas in that little mind of his for us?

How can there be a counter coup, when there was no coup? A coup, at least a military coup, leaves a military man or council in control. This action did not.

The Wall Street Journal has been covering this very well, including how the US State Department was involving themselves in the internal affairs of Honduras for weeks before the President was deposed, trying to keep him in power.

If Honduras is forced, with the help and/or support of the pResident of the United States to restore the Red to power, in the face of an action by the country's Supreme Court and Congress .... well... words fail me, except to say that it bodes very ill for any action by our Supreme Court that The One, The Messiah, does not approve of.

At least Obummer doesn't need to worry about Congress trying to impeach his sorry ash. He could commit murder, on live TV, and they would not deem it a High Crime or Misdemeanor.

Do you think [Obama] has the same ideas in that little mind of his for us?

Yes, without a doubt. One of his cronies in the House of Representatives has introduced a resolution that the 22nd Amendment should be abolished (Chavez, Zelaya, Obama...they ape each other).

As long as they're alive, there are conspiracies to free them and re-install them in power. That's why Elizabeth I executed Mary Queen of Scots, the French executed Louis XVI, the Soviets executed Czar Nicholas II and his family, etc.
