Synapses were not working correctly, foe some odd reason I was thinking Honduras had political ties to Britian.

… Me thinks this hits a little too close to home for Chairman MaObama and his little red book waving minions over at State…

What happened in Honduras could be the scenario that will be played out here when Kenyan President Obama’s birth certificate is somehow covertly slipped to Fox News and becomes public.

Hopium addicts will scream FOUL as their Obama T-shirt sales on Brooklyn NY street corners dry up.

Others will scream COUP D’ETAT!!… never mind that that’s what’s happening right now as we speak.

I’m just wondering how many frog marching Democrats there will be after that little dittie comes to light? If at all LOL.

To those who think the BC thing is a straw dog, does it make anyone wonder why an army of lawyers are fighting every challenge in court, rather than save a few million bucks and just show the darn thing?…. HMMM???

One of the news stories from the BBC said Chavez was blaming the “Yankee empire” for the coup. Yeah, OK, Hugo.

Although I don’t know if having the military throw out whoever they please is necessarily a superb idea either. That being said, it seems clear that Zelaya was the one flouting Honduran law and the one most eager to hang onto his power, so I can’t really feel all that bad for him.

It does say something when members of your own party are opposed to your power grab, and it does say something when you press ahead when the Supreme Court determines your actions to be illegal, and you fire the military chief who won’t help you.

Just a bit of speculation: I wonder if Chavez would consider going in and reinstalling his good buddy. I highly doubt it, but it’s worth a second of consideration.

After all, Zelaya is one of his buddies, and with Hugo and Fidel wanting it, he will find “the fierce moral urgency” to do something. Especially as it’ll swipe at the UK again.

did they get him to?
Just a simple question.
Maybe he is busy learning to talk without his flash cards, most of us gave the flash cards up in the 2 nd grade

Chavez is calling on Obama to “do something.” hahahahaahahahaha.

That is funny on so many levels I hardly know where to start.

1. I thought Chavez hated all things US, including Obama? Amazing how much he loves us when he needs us.

2. Obama DO something? Chavez, you ain’t been paying attention too closely have you. Obama votes present whenever possible — even when it involves support for a fellow socialist.

Maybe the process is unorthodox but the President was in defiance of the Supreme Court in not reinstating the illegally fired Army chief. Not sure the Supreme Court could unilaterally sack him like that, but it probably is acceptable in Honduras. For Honduras, removing a guy from power for legitimate cause is probably worth celebrating.

Of course I could be biased from when I read this sentence from the AP:
“Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez and former Cuban leader Fidel Castro have both expressed support for Zelaya.”
