Reporting from Washington and Tegucigalpa, Honduras -- The Obama administration has sharply increased pressure on the de facto government running Honduras following last month's military coup, hoping to break a stalemate in negotiations with ousted President Manuel Zelaya.

Wondrous to behold the MSM parroting the State Department position with the use of this new term "de facto." We can document that this term first was uttered during the July 20 State Department daily press briefing.

And the government tools have immediately, and uncritically, picked it up.

We should start referring to Zero as the “de facto” president.

Now we just get them to drop the Latin and Anglicize it whenever they reference it.

The Government-In-Fact of Honduras ( I would throw a "Free" in there before "Honduras" but that is probably way to much to hope for).

The MSM, State Dept and Obama admin are all on the side of the communist takeover of Central America.

“We should start referring to Zero as the “de facto” president.”

Good idea.

In addition, my friends in Panama know Obama is behind this and not the American people. They know the American people are behind Honduras and against Zelaya.

They know Obama is crazy and dangerous.

I'd like to see a trend where all sorts of people start posting their birth certificates online. I'd like to see that go viral.

Glad to hear this. Do they know many millions of Americans want Obama removed from office?

Is there any activism on Honduras?

I am feeling just sick about this and don’t know what to do.

When we discuss Obama, that certainly is understood. Panama is surrounded by dictators, and they know they have to be removed to include Obama. They know he is wrong, wrong, wrong on Honduras, and they see him kissing up to Chavez who kisses up to Cuba. Then there is Morales of Bolivia, Rafael Correa of Ecuador, and José Daniel Ortega of Nicaragua.

My friends know Obama has got to go, and they are aware that millions of Americans want him out too.

Obama will be removed within the year.

Cap N Treason was a joke on the global warming scam that Obama is trying to force on business. That will fail also.

De Facto? I don't think so. The current President of the Honduras is so de jure and that's precisely what this is all about.
