Sore Loser: Obama Administration Still Punishing Honduras for Defending Freedom
— Gabriel Malor

The President's preferred dictator-for-life, Chavista thug Zelaya, didn't get his way so Obama's going to keep punishing Honduras by refusing to recognize President Lobo and refusing to allow visas for Hondurans to resume.

"It's a significant step for Honduras to go back to order but it's just that. It's only a step and it's not the last step... It's not sufficient," said US assistant secretary of state for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Arturo Valenzuela.

More here of Obama's demands before he'll recognize the sovereign right of Hondurans to choose their leader:


"For the countries of the Hemisphere and for the United States, to work towards the restoration of Honduras to the Organization of American States [OAS] later on, Honduras must do more than just this election," said Arturo Valenzuela. "It must follow a process of national reconciliation through a government of national unity, and that's what we're urging the Honduran leadership to engage in. The people of Honduras want nothing less."

Valenzuela said the Obama administration seeks implementation of an OAS-backed settlement plan, including the creation of a truth commission on the circumstances of the coup and a congressional vote set for Wednesday on whether Mr. Zelaya will be returned to office to complete his term, which was to end in late-January.

The senior diplomat said the United States wants to see Mr. Zelaya restored to office.

Of course, Zelaya has already stated that he will refuse reinstatement following the "fraudulent" election. Which means Obama is placing impossible conditions on Honduras.

It was last updated on 11/11/2009.

How do you even define that?

Does the US have a "government of national unity?"

Good question.  Honduras is not a parliamentary government.  It has no unity government with ministers from all parties.  It's a Democratic Constitutional Republic with a unicameral legislative branch.

Lobo received 46% of the vote in 2005 and Zelaya never achieved a plurality of the vote.  He got to 49%.  Lobo isn't a nobody.  He's a major contender in the state.  He won.  It's over.  He gets to appoint the people he wants.  He's got a bigger mandate than Zelaya had.  Other nations are going to have to suck it up and accept the results.

A "truth commission"????

We already had one of those here.  The Congressional Research Office did a paper.  The ouster of the communist thug was legal.

What I would like to know is why isn't the Republicans raising more hell about this?  During the Reagan term when he was trying to oppose the communist thugs in Central America the communist Party in the congress was busy thwarting him at every turn.  Republicans should be doing the same to the idiot communist in office now.

I think he's qualified for "Special Envoy to Brazil" or something like that.  I mean, he's already crashed at their embassy in Tegucigalpa, right?  Just get him a spiffy desk from Office Max, some stationery, and he's good to go!

I thought the people voted for what they wanted ... but no, a US "diplomat" is going to overrule them.

And all the socialists insist it was a "coup", despite Zelaya's illegal actions and the legit actions of their congress to prevent another Chavez like thug from extending his term.

So harsh sanctions may continue on Honduras for opposing a dictator wannabe ... but only harsh words for Iran as they murdered those that opposed oppression.

President of the world Obama seems the hold to the antithesis of the Bush doctrine ... instead of spreading democracy, he wants to kill it.

Obama and State both, for slightly different reasons, want a red/fascist bloc in South/Central America to act as a brake on the US, a potential second front, allied with Iran across the Atlantic and N. Korea across the Pacific, openable against the US in overseas wars. They'll foment unrest in, and encourage invasion of, holdout states until it happens.

Mr Zelaya, ousted in June, said he would refuse reinstatement even if Congress voted this week to restore him to serve out his term until January..per BBC news. http://tinyurl.com/yhzdddh
So barry won't recognize it, and Zelaya won't serve. Honduras is supposed to come to a standstill until January?

WTF This asshole backs himself into a corner, then bends over?

Even Zelaya's party rejected him!  Obama's position is so ridiculous and antithetical to America's interests that it can only be a result of extreme stupidity and/or a desire to promote communism.  

I used to read John Birch Society literature. Although patriotic, it just seemed too wacky and too conspiracy oriented, like the Obama birth delusion.

But after events like this matter in Honduras, maybe the Brichers are right.

47 Is this the part where the Hondurans tell President Pathetic to go fuck himself?

No, that already happened - see the election outcome, which if you think about it, could be interpreted as a referendum on whether Hondurans give a rat's ass what Obama thinks about their country.  That's what Obama is so pissed about.  Maybe he'll forgive them fly down and give them an inspiring speech, as soon as he learns a few phrases in Honduranese.

Oh, and look up FYBO in the Honduran dictionary.

Obama wants to rewrite the ending to this story because in his fantasy world he hopes Amerika will throw out the constitution and "elect" him as permanent leader after his two terms.  I don't consider it a coup when the supreme court, the legilsature, and the members of the majority party all work together to thwart an unconsitutional power grab that was sure to include a fraudulent election.  Liberty won in Honduras and Obama can't stand it.

Posted by: Mike H at December 01, 2009 10:22 AM (cvvNY)

Yep.  That's also the entire reason for all of this.  He tried to get the single term limit removed so he could run again.  He attempted to change the constitution.  Their congress said you can't do that, the military said they won't distribute the ballots, he tried to fire the chief of the army and he can't do that, so everyone said bye bye to the guy attempting to constantly break the law.

Yes, the sunlight begins to shine through for another fellow moron. You see, the word 'conspiricy' exists for a reason. Conspiricies exist. Once you can accept this as a possibility, so many other things begin to make sense. Questions like "How could this particular president have done that" begin to answer themselves. It takes an open mind and just the tiny bit of courage it takes to not care if someone calls you a 'tin foil hat type' or a retard.

Sorry, I draw the line at Ike being a communist tool. Did he make bad calls at Dien Bien Phu and the Suez? Absolutely. But to call Ike a Soviet tool was beyond the pale....

Posted by: Curmudgeon at December 01, 2009 07:49 AM (ujg0T)

113 Obama is the word of socialism on earth. As such, all his actions and words are by definition infallible. If he said that a country should not follow its constitution when a socialist president attempts to take over the country, then no one can question his words. Should He demand that our economy be destroyed in a tsunami of stimulus spending, then so be it. When you stare longingly into the mirror, do you see the face of Obama? I thought not. So stop questioning the One who does. He is here to correct our faults of charity, industriousness, entrepreneurialism and common sense. Your piddling facts and logic will make no impression Him. In fact, He can not here you over the sound of His own awesomeness.

Name me one FUBAR that we're dealing with right now that wasn't created by the "elites" from the Kudzu league.  Repubs should seize on Honduras like a pit bull on a porkchop. They wan't to bring in Hispanics? champion freedom and the rule of law in a region woefully lacking them.Aw, who am I kidding? they'll miss another opportunity, they're Republicans!

Some leading Republican members of Congress should quietly (on national tv in Honduras) tell the Honduran leadership what an idiot Obama is. They need to follow the same rules as the Dems did with Bush. Let the Honduran people know that power is going to change in DC and that all they need to do is sit tight.

That if nothing else will just piss off Obama.

128 Funny but I thought the people of Honduras just voted against a government of 'national unity'. I mean, should John McCain be Vice President so that the US could have a 'government of national unity'? The idea is ridiculous and offensive to any democratic country.  Yet, I hear nothing but crickets on the left about the abysmal human rights policies of the Obama Administration. Obama is setting us back decades.
