Obama's True Colors Shine in Honduras

President Obama squirmed and weaseled his words with the Iranian Mullahs and their puppet-tyrant, Ahmadinejad, not wanting to be seen as meddling in a tyrannical theocracy, known throughout the world as beneath-contempt oppressors of every human right under the sun. No, no, no, it just wouldn't do to publicly lend support to all those moderate, freedom-loving throngs of Iranians taking to the streets, risking life and limb for more liberty. Not until the Iranians killed demonstrators on camera, the pictures went round the world, and criticism of himself mounted at home, did this President put his hands on his hips and use the words, "appalled" and "outraged."

And the words that quickly came to my own mind as Obama gave this tiny, petulant nod to liberty: "Wimp in Chief."

This week, the Honduran socialist president, seeking to eviscerate his country's constitution in a shameless power-grab, has evoked Obama's true colors, and spread them out like yellow underwear on a backyard clothesline.

Obama's response to the Honduran military removing a dictator-wannabe from office (at the behest, it must be noted, of the Supreme Court and the Honduran Congress), and escorting him to the border, was sure and fast. He declared the military action an "illegal coup" faster than you can say Fidel Castro. And just as quickly the rest of the region's socialist gang chimed in too. The real Castro brothers. Hugo Chavez. Daniel Ortega.

Birds of a feather do tend to flock together.

Bullies, of all stripes, don't you know, are really just cowards at heart -- yellow down to their measly cores -- which is why they must cling together in gangs and collectives. They haven't the courage or fortitude for independence. Neither do they support individual liberties or constitutions that interfere with their quest for power.

It’s great! Let everybody know that the friends he talked about during his campaign are really Communists and Presidents-for-life / dictators like Chavez, Castros, Ortega, Evo Morales, Zelaya, Kirchners...

The mask is off even for those who had the blinders on and “wanted to believe!”

It occurs to me that since 0 now has a solid (filibuster-proof) senate and majority congress behind him, he might decide he doesn't need to go through the pro forma procedures of congressional legislation. He can just dissolve the whole lot of them and just state what he is going to do.

Isn't that the kind of thinking he would employ?

I think he is doing it already with all the unelected Czars. He is flouting the Constitution and I kinda agree with you he will just simply ignore it soon, brazenly so. I think we will soon go from a "Soft tyranny" to a hard one with gigantic increase in manpower and mandate from the IRS, the CIA being employed domestically against what Obama will call domestic terrorist groups and him using the airwaves for monthly free chat sessions about what he is doing for you. He is an evil, dangerous man. I am thinking more and more he IS the anti-christ as per the Book of Revelation

Been done before -- all 0 needs is a "national emergency" (on the level of a Reichstag fire, perhaps?), and maybe he could push for an Enabling Act to set aside legislative process to allow him and his advisors to enact laws "for the good of the people in this time of crisis." In some areas, it has already happened with Joe and the Czars having broad oversight authority.

The only stalling point is that congressthings are too jealous of power to make it that simple.

he might decide he doesn't need to go through the pro forma procedures of congressional legislation.

That's semi-happened already, and with Franken seated, 0's laughably described and cynically invoked "bipartisanship" will disappear altogether.

President Barack Obama's true self has been revealed in vivid Technicolor throughout the past six months. He has aligned himself with bullies and tyrants around the globe, both IslamoFascists and members of the international socialist collective.

Great article.

Well, that’s sure true. Folks, we are watching a tiny and inoffensive country, Honduras, whose capital has a name most of us can’t pronounce and have never thought of before, being crushed into the ground by a vindictive megalomaniac with a lust for power that we have never ever seen before in this country. They’re committing the unforgivable sin of opposing The One.

God help us.

Great article. BTTT
