The biggest mistake that was made was deporting the guy. They should have arrested him, tried him for treason under their constitution, and then convicted and executed him.

This is one time I agree with Senator Martinez. What ZERO and Hillary did was deplorable and against freedom loving people of Honduras.

Sadly almost the exact same thing is about to happen in Nicaragua with that bucket of scum Ortega planning a referendum to keep himself in office.

I’d like to see our Senator be a bit more concerned about the democracy being dismantled here at home.

"This situation was compounded by the United States, which was working behind the scenes to keep the Honduran congress and supreme court from using the clearly legal means of presidential impeachment."

Obama's stance on the situation in tiny Honduras, as much as anything thus far in his measly experience, demonstrates just what a Marxist he is.

Congressmen. A group of lawmakers led by Republican Connie Mack, the weekend will travel to Honduras to express to the government of Honduras Micheletti and his support for a peaceful solution, reported this Thursday the office of legislator.

To this end, efforts could be focused on helping Honduras form a reconciliation government that would include representatives not associated with either the Zelaya administration or current government.

Mel, what's wrong with just supporting the people who removed this traitorous snake - Zelaya - from power?

Just like with the Cop arresting his friend situation, Obama has taken the wrong side on an issue. They have falsely claimed this was a coup... it was a legal arrest ordered by the Supreme Court (thats the way they impeach in Honduras).

Altogether, the Obamaistas and Clintonistas have completely fouled up US Foreign Policy in some insane concept of "making the world like us again." Judging from their actions these last six+ months it appears the countries they are so eager to call friend are all run by Marxist dictators.

It isn't about being "liked". It is about being "right". Being "liked" is the concern of a high school girl, being "right" is the concern of an adult.

When the COP arrested a drunken friend of Obama's... he could not afford to worry about being "liked". He could only be focused on being "right."

We are liked well enough by all of the freedom loving people all over this planet.

This situation was compounded by Barack Hussein Obama the United States, whichwho was working behind the scenes to keep the Honduran congress and supreme court from using the clearly legal means of presidential impeachment.

Fixed it.

I think Barack was looking to his own future, contemplating some similar action.

I mean, once the threshold is crossed, what's the difference between violating the eligibility criteria part of Article 1 Section 1, and violating the 22nd amendment? Possibly also the 12th and those portions of the Constitution, Art. 2 section 1 not replaced by it.

Oh really, Mel?
“The crisis in Honduras stems from the failure of its leaders to live within constitutional boundaries”

That’s the same thing we have been saying about you and the rest of our elected leaders in Washington!

Whoops, this story is about Honduras; reading the headline, I thought it was about the United States.

What democracy? It's our Free Republic that is being dismantled.

You'll not find the word democracy, or any form of it, such as democratic, democratically, etc, in the Constitution for the United States, including all of it's amendments.

Excellent analysis, although rather than blame the United States, he should be blaming the mobsters in charge of the White House, the State Department, and Congress. It was the Democrats who fought like hell to protect and prop up communist Daniel Ortega and the Sandinistas during the ‘80s and it is the rats who currently chummy up with that same communist as well as communists Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.

Is it really any surprise that Ubama and his rat mobsters would support communist wanna-be dictator-for-life, Zelaya?

>Tragically, the United States and the OAS have put Honduras in a position where democracy is again the loser:
>
>If Zelaya returns, this essentially signals approval of his unconstitutional acts; if he is not allowed to return, then the unacceptable behavior of forcibly exiling a leader is given approval.

Solution, Zelaya’s transportation is the unfortunate victim of crossfire between federal police and the drug cartels.

Mel is voting for cap and trade, for Sonya Sotomayor, and is a reliable RINO, his stewardship of the RNC helped to get us into this mess.
Now he has figured out the the Demos love leftist tyranny.
Mel, Please resign, learn a lesson from Sarah Palin.
