I have a vanity going back some years arguing that it is a mistake to conceive of Obama as another Jimmy Carter. Obama is a radical ideologue who sees foreign policy myopically through that filter. History shows that leftists from Trotsky to Pol Pot have been bloodthirsty in the extreme when it comes to advancing or protecting their ideological agenda.

Moreover, it is a mistake to view Obama's foreign policy as simply "pro-Islamist" -- as has been demonstrated in every dealing with a Muslim country.

In fact, his preferences extend somewhat more broadly. He is remarkably "pro-authoritarian". Shimmer dissolve to the Honduras crisis in June of 2009 -- when Obama and the entire American foreign policy establishment demanded that Hondurans abandon their constitution and accept usurpation by Manuel Zelaya, who was nothing more than a puppet of Hugo Chavez.

Had Barack Obama been President of the USA in 1940 he would've told Winston Churchill to take a hike and cozied up to Adolf Hitler. And that is not a hyperbolic statement...

“...Obama and the entire American foreign policy establishment demanded that Hondurans abandon their constitution...”

Great memory and great observation.
