WASHINGTON - An outspoken critic of the Obama administration's handling of the crisis in Honduras dropped his opposition to two State Department nominees late Thursday, saying the administration has reversed course.
Sen. Jim DeMint, R-S.C., said on the Senate floor that he'd spoken with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton, who told him that the administration would recognize the election Nov. 29 in Honduras "regardless of whether former President Manuel Zelaya is returned to office."
"I am happy to report the Obama administration has finally reversed its misguided Honduran policy and will fully recognize the Nov. 29 elections," DeMint said, noting that the stance means he'll lift his objection to the nominations of Arturo Valenzuela to be assistant secretary for Western Hemisphere affairs and Thomas Shannon to be the U.S. ambassador to Brazil.

Obama loses another foreign policy initiative. Yeah, Barry, get used to that.
And he believed her?
Why not wait 3 weeks and be sure.
Unreal.

Why wait? I don’t understand your point.
Remember how Clinton reinstated that communist bastard Aristede in Haiti, I don't put it past these red sons of bitches in control of the US government to try something similar and unseat the new Honduran President.
Now how about an investigation into why 0ba-Mao, the Hildebeast, the State Dept. and John Efn Kerry took a stand against Honduras which was clearly un-American?
Maybe I’m just dense, but, I see a good move by DeMint to go public and make the move he did. Make Hillary call him a liar; or follow through and recognize the newly elected government.
Statements by the likes of "DeMint" however, are routinely ignored by the socialist press, and they are ready and willing to promote a communist coup in Honduras at the drop of a hat.
The socialist Clintons told the right wing regime in Haiti to abdicate or face attack, this will be repeated in Honduras.
From Choluteca, Honduras.
“AAAAARGH!”
We love you USA, and know that at 200+ years old electing the hopey changey kid was just a senior moment. We truly hope that Joe Biden has a “senior moment” and backs over someone with the Suburban. Cheney shot a lawyer in the face and the lawyer apologized, right?
Just saying that if, “I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic is the pledge for Congress, aren’t all the visits to Cuba, Venezuela, Iran basically treason as defined in the Constitution? Did anyone get a copy of Barry’s thesis?
Also, is Pelosi the scarecrow to keep away extra terrestrials? I remember that scene at the end of Raiders of the Lost Ark, or maybe her face was done by Dali. Truly disturbing to look at and sad.
I recognize that Hillary, Obama, Biden and Emmanuel should learn to play Jenga before engaging in international politics.
