Looks like a crook, if ever I saw one.

THE Honduras mess is going to heat up, not cool down. Will President Obama keep rooting for the side that rallies to the cry "Yanqui go home"?
Obama threw his lot in with deposed Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, who's seen throughout the region as a stooge of Venezuelan strongman Hugo Chavez. Indeed, Chavez has already threatened military action to return Zelaya to power.
Zelaya now plans to return to Honduras tomorrow, even though the nation's military, acting in accord with its Congress and courts, just forced him out of the country on Sunday. "Who is going to protect me? We are the blood of Jesus Christ, as we say," Zelaya told reporters yesterday.
Does he expect help from Chavez if the army confronts him as soon as he lands back home? "Not now," Zelaya said, smiling broadly. That implies possible help later -- and perhaps as soon as Friday morning.
If Venezuelan forces try to impose Zelaya against the wishes of every other democratic institution in Honduras, will Obama continue supporting him?
Addressing the UN General Assembly yesterday and speaking to reporters afterward, Zelaya compared himself not only to Jesus Christ, but also to Mahatma Gandhi, George Washington and Martin Luther King. Announcing his plan to return to his country tomorrow to resume the role that "the people" chose him for, he broadly attacked the Honduran "power elite" that just exiled him.
He also introduced the entourage that's to accompany him on tomorrow's flight from Washington to Tegucigalpa. The top figures are Argentina's leftist President Christina Kirchner and UN General Assembly President Miguel D'Escoto Brockmann -- an old Sandinista hand who's spent the last year trying to turn the United Nations into an arm of the Nicaraguan-Cuban-Venezuelan axis.
Using language common to caudillos like Chavez, the Castro brothers and Kirchner

Uh Oh...
Looks like the honeymoon is over for obama in the court of public opinion
Yeah, Obama’s foreign policy “expertise” is showing. He doesn’t want to “meddle” in Iran yet has no compunction whatsoever about demanding that Honduras welcome their scumbag wannabe dictator back with open arms? I think they should open the handcuffs and throw Chavez’s “mini-me” in the most rat infested prison imaginable.
Maybe Obama emphasizes with Zelaya - after all, our President’s popularity is slipping and he could fear it may happen here.
‘Bam’? Is that what the NY Post is calling Obama now? Kinda funny. Yeah, well that’s what happens when you support Venezuelan-backed socialist dictators instead of popular governments.
This really makes it clear where Obeyme’s sympathies are. When the people (Iran) rise up and protest, fight and die for freedom to throw out the dictators/mullahs, our dear president doesn’t want to “meddle” and sits idly by without comment while the people are squashed by their thuggish government.
A week later, people of Honduras, military, and Supreme Court, rise up and do throw out the dictator who wants to be “President for Life”, “meddling” by our “Dear Leader” suddenly is the thing to do. Siding with Chauvez, Castro and Ortega now is the perfect response.
I hope the majority of conservative Americans can put 2+2 together and see the kind of despot we have elected.
He looks like Vincente Fox’s brother!
Hey, despots understand that they gotta stick together.
0 may need a place to scurry to if (when) the Constitutionalists have had enough.
“Addressing the UN General Assembly yesterday and speaking to reporters afterward, Zelaya compared himself not only to Jesus Christ, but also to Mahatma Gandhi, George Washington and Martin Luther King. “
He didn’t campare himself to Obama, Chavez or Castro?
I am shocked.
If Venezuelan forces try to impose Zelaya against the wishes of every other democratic institution in Honduras, will Obama continue supporting him?
Its in the best interest of the United States that Zelaya is not in Honduras.There for Obama will fully support Venezuelan forces returning him to Honduras
Even just from the caterpillar growing on his upper lip
Arrest them and throw them in prison too. Defend your sovereignty, Honduras.
WE WILL TOSS HIM INTO JAIL. and keep supporting us, you are our only voice and man how we apreciate it.
