The U.S. government on Thursday formally cut off millions of dollars in assistance to Honduras because of the coup that occurred two months ago, and threatened to withhold recognition of the new president who emerges from elections scheduled in November.
The announcement came as Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton met with the ousted president, Manuel Zelaya. The decisions represented a hardening of the U.S. position and reflected the administration's annoyance at Honduras's de facto government for rejecting a proposed negotiated solution to the crisis.

This is one of the most misrepresented situations that I have ever seen.
Obama’s Marxism could not be more obvious.
And Hillary is an evil b*tch, as well.
The admin has become the enemy of freedom.
I think this country might have committed national suicide already.
Won’t recognize the next elected President? What jerks! Zelaya can’t run again, by law, by constitution!
Pbama has turned the U.S. into a country that is the enemy of Democracies.
Agreed. It is an incredible outrage. This level of deception and manipulation against the Honduran government’s punctiliously lawful resistance to a flagrant marxist take over in Honduras - it’s like living in a novel.
This administration is a bunch of anti-American thugs period.
It doesn’t make sense to not recognize the NEXT elected president - that election was going to take place anyway, right....????
Paging Palin!
If Zelaya himself said he was giving it up, would these idiots in the White House be satisfied. Zelaya is the coup artist, defying the law in an attempt to make himself a forever president.
The Bummer admin was expecting Zelaya to become the forever president. No matter if the people in Honduras are all burning him in effigy now.
Ping!
Ooops...that’s buy Honduran...my mistake...yikes!
Ha, I bet 0bama is afraid something similar could happen here.
He approves of the usurper, Manuel Zelaya . . . birds of a feather, I guess.
HANG IN THERE HONDURAS!... HE WONT BE PRES FOR LONG!
Obummer punishes Honduras for following their own constitution and deposing one of the would-be dictators that our president likes to pal around with. Could anything be more transparent?
So we cut off the defenders of democracy, while funneling millions to Hamas and PLO terrorists.
