In the Wall Street Journal yesterday, Mary Anastasia O’Grady wrote that cables released by WikiLeaks show that the administration knew Honduran President Manuel Zelaya had threatened Honduran democracy -- but supported him in order to offer President Obama a “bonding opportunity” with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and a chance to ingratiate himself with Latin America’s hard left.

Good article, but there is another reason. The idea of a president being impeached and removed from office probably seems like a bad precedent. Probably makes him feel queasy.

Ahhhh, but there is a third reason.

Obama wants terrorists from his 57 states to replace
Americans whom they will murder for Obama and the DNC/RINOs.

This would be the same Hugo Chavez who just had himself appointed dictator in Venezuala.

Remember when Jim Demint was the lone wolf in the senate who dared to stand up against Obamao and Hitlery, and against their wishes flew to Honduras to show support for the government to rightfully deal with someone trying to subvert their country’s constitution?

I’m surprised The Won didn’t just say “The Hondurans acted stupidly”.

“””Obama a “bonding opportunity” with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and a chance to ingratiate himself with Latin America’s hard left”””

_____

I do not think we need Wikileaks to know that Obama is always trying to be kissy-face with the hard left.

This leaked cable only confirms what has been obvious to anyone who does not consider Obama the Messiah.
