The Obama Administration has decided to block travel by the people of Honduras to the United States to punish their country for its Supreme Court’s refusal to back the return to power of Honduras’s ex-president and would-be dictator, Manuel Zelaya, who is backed by left-wing Latin American dictators like Castro and Chavez. The Obama Administration is now blocking the issuance of nearly all visas, meaning that a Honduran grandma who wants to visit her grandkids in the United States can’t...............

Zer0, like all libs, is a control freak.

Libs either want to control, or want to be controlled.

Communist dictators stick together. Obama is pure evil, and he backs evil people.

I guess BHO is hoping that all those Grandmas will vote for the leftists next Honduran election cycle. Blackmailer in Chief-so much for any ethical behavior coming from 1600 these days.

“The Obama Administration has decided to block travel by the people of Honduras to the United States”

Next step in Zero’s toolbox:

“The Obama Administration has decided to block travel outside the country unless given special permission by the U.S, Government.”

from linked article”

Obama has argued that elected presidents have a right to continue ruling even if they violate their country’s constitution, and his assistant secretary of state argued that presidents should not be removed without elaborate “judicial process” (an argument at odds with our own Constitution’s provision for legislative impeachment, and Honduras’s constitutional provision automatically stripping presidents of their office if they even propose changes to constitutional term limits).

Dictators have no friends; only sacrifices.

Take heed Obama voters. You will become a sacrifice.

Zelaya was scheduled to leave office in two months, but had tried to change the constitution to make himself dictator for life. I get the feeling that Obama wants to do the same thing here.

I really don’t understand why the Republicans aren’t screaming loud and clear on this one. Obama’s shown his true colors for months here, trying to bully Honduras into a satellite of Cuba, Venezuela and all things Marxist.

Why, oh why, aren’t they forcing this issue?
