Why must Obama always err on the side of evil? What am I missing here? There was no coup.... a coup was averted. The Honduran government followed their Constitution and ousted a maniac who was trying to take over their nation.
What happened to Obama's determination not to meddle in other countries' affairs? Oh yeah, that's for murdering despots. My bad.
This was reported in a Canadian newspaper on Tuesday 22 July -- buried in an article. We're just finding out about it now.... thanks US media ...... tools, all.
TEGUCIGALPA - Honduras' de facto government said on Wednesday talks to end a political crisis following last month's coup have been delayed and it is awaiting new proposals from the mediator.
The U.S. State Department said it remained focused on mediation, and that Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had made clear to the interim government there would be consequences if it failed to reach a deal.
Several thousand supporters of the interim government, installed after the army toppled Zelaya and sent him into exile on June 28, marched peacefully in the capital Tegucigalpa. Dressed in white, they waved blue and white national flags and banners that read "Zelaya is a traitor" and "Peace".
"If you like Mel (Zelaya) that much, then you keep him, he's all yours!" read one placard.
"We don't just reject Zelaya, we also reject the abuse of power he planned," said history teacher Dumia Tome, 39. "We are not going to allow him back."
Democracy at work! Obama is punishing those who are preserving their freedom, but props up a murderous Ahmadinejad slaughtering his people in cold blood.
The UN, media leftopaths and the radical US President are trying to paint what happened in Honduras as a coup. It was not. It was a democracy at work, saving itself from a Chavez-backed takeover.
Obama is on the same side as Chavez, Noriega and the Castro twins.

UPDATE: The White House Latin Connection: Is Greg Craig driving US Latin America policy? WSJ
Having established that making nice with the region’s troublemakers is a priority, Mr. Obama now wants Mr. Zelaya—who was endorsed by the FARC last week—reinstated. If Honduras does not comply, the U.S. is threatening to freeze assets and revoke the visas of interim government officials.
Some Washington watchers figure this bizarre stance is due to the fact that that Mr. Obama is relying heavily on White House Counsel Gregory Craig for advice on Latin America.
Mr. Craig was the lawyer for Fidel Castro—er, Juan Miguel Gonzalez, the father of Elian Gonzalez—during Bill Clinton’s 2000 repatriation to Cuba of the seven-year-old. During the presidential campaign when Mr. Craig was advising Mr. Obama, the far-left Council on Hemispheric Affairs endorsed Mr. Craig as “the right man to revive deeply flawed U.S.-Latin America relations.” In other words, to pull policy left.
UPDATE: The Chavez-Obama U.N. Plot Against Honduras AIM hat tip Jonathan Galt
It is time for some investigative reporting into the nature of the Chavez-Obama axis.
The United Nations on Thursday begins a debate over a new U.N. military doctrine called the "Responsibility to Protect," which would authorize the world organization to be used as cover to intervene in the sovereign affairs of a nation state,......
It is difficult to dismiss these concerns as baseless rumors, considering what will be happening at the U.N. The key U.N. official orchestrating the debate, General Assembly President and Lenin Peace Prize recipient Miguel D'Escoto, is the same figure who recently managed passage of a U.N. resolution supporting the return to Honduras of Manuel Zelaya,.........
Zelaya is a lackey of Venezuelan communist ruler Hugo Chavez, who is using his oil money to buy and influence governments throughout Latin America.
In an ominous development, blogger Jason Poblete, an astute observer of Latin American affairs with excellent sources, reports that "The Obama Administration is considering a United Nations Security Council Resolution against the constitutional government of Honduras.
Zelaya flew from Costa Rica, where he was deported, to U.N. headquarters in New York, where D'Escoto, who is also a Communist Catholic Priest from Nicaragua, greeted him as a comrade
With Obama's plans to seize the health care and energy sectors a focus of public attention, few in Congress are taking a hard look at the prospect of violence in Honduras. However, Senator Jim DeMint and several other senators have protested the Obama policy. DeMint also introduced an amendment to the defense authorization bill to require the Director of National Intelligence to present a "full report" on the roles played by Chavez and the leaders of Nicaragua and Cuba in facilitating the crisis in Honduras.
This tends to confirm what former Marxist SDS radical Tom Hayden, leader of "Progressives for Obama," has written about the Obama-Chavez relationship. Based on his own inside sources of information, Hayden said that he thinks Obama and Chavez are working together on Honduras and have an "understanding," which he even describes as "collaboration." The call Chavez made to Shannon suggests that Chavez is calling the shots.
Ultimately, according to a very detailed report by the Intelligence and Terrorism Information Center, part of the Israel Intelligence Heritage and Commemoration Center, this would benefit Iran, a terrorist state developing nuclear weapons which is developing a vast network throughout Latin America. A recent report from the organization examines the deep Iranian connections to Venezuela as well as Bolivia.
If the Obama Administration is, in effect, acting as an agent of Venezuela (and Iran) in Honduras, such a foreign policy could be described not only as anti-American but potentially treasonous, considering that the outcome could be the loss of another country in Latin America to the Chavez brand of communism.
It is time for some investigative reporting into the nature of the Chavez-Obama axis.
