WSJ Update: Obama Worked To Prevent Ouster of (Marxist) Honduras President

The Obama administration worked in recent days to prevent President Manuel Zelaya's ouster, said a senior U.S. official. The State Department, in particular, communicated to Honduran officials on the ground that President Barack Obama wouldn't support any nondemocratic transfer of power in the Central American country.

“We call on all parties in Honduras to respect the constitutional order and the rule of law, to reaffirm their democratic vocation, and to commit themselves to resolve political disputes peacefully and through dialogue,” Clinton said in a statement.

Does the idiot running the State Department even realize that’s exactly what has already happened in Honduras?

Forgive me, it’s a rhetorical question since I know the real agenda is propping up an unconstitutional Marxist regime down there and not respecting constitutional order and the rule of law.

Supreme Court ordered arrest of President

[rintense]

Each and every day, O is giving Sarah Palin ammunition for 2012. O is really that dumb.

[MozarkDawg]

I’m sure she and Millstone know what’s going on.

Which makes their reaction all the more frightening.

I wasn't really being sarcastic, nor was it rhetorical ... I can't come up with the proper tone of my post, but assuredly, you are correct. As papabear points out later here:

As was thoroughly hashed out on this thread, the Honduran Supreme Court declared that the President was acting illegally and ordered his arrest. The military did not act on its own independent initiative.

Yes, Califreak, truly frightening, especially in view of what may be coming down the pike.

oh, darn... you mean in Honduras

[McGruff]

Obama says Honduras coup was "illegal" and Zelaya remains the president. Guess interfering in a foreign election is ok now.

[SERKIT]

Oh, for that headline here....fantasizing of burf records being what many think they indicate.....

I just posted that as its own thread. wow, I guess fellow travelers always stick together.

Rodyer rodyer, wilco, 10-4 good buddy! Over and out.

[Cobra Scott]

What I can’t figure out is if the military arrested him at gunpoint then how the heck did he end up free in Costa Rica?

Something doesn’t pass muster in all this.

respect the constitutional order and the rule of law

Like Hillary and 'her husband' always do! /s

Show us the birth certificate and then you can make claims about illegal rulers

[Daus]

Well, the upside of having a totally neutered foreign policy is that even Honduras doesn’t give a crap about our opinion.

N O !!!

[ichabod1]

THere’s that “dialog” code word again.

[dforest]

Well, if that the case, Obama was once again a miserable failure. I guess the Constitutionalists in Honduras said FUBO.

[meyer]

And yet, people cringe when I call Obambi ‘the little commie’.

[ichabod1]

I didn’t even hear it with all the Jacksnnnn malarkey skewing the signal-to-noise ratio.
