I don't see how Obama did anything wrong. He voiced his concerns and is letting Honduras work it out on their own. How is he even remotely meddling? Military coups are bad things for democracy, but so is what Zelaya did. What would be helpful is if the Supreme Court found a way out of this mess. In legal way, not a military one. In the end, it really doesn't matter. Honduras is not even remotely a country that matters. If Laos had a coup, I'd be more concerned. Only because it would affect Thailand, which is a country that matters.

Obama is a Leftist with all the deficiencies and distortions of history that goes with that viewpoint. Leftists use the Democratic process of voting to gain power – the rest is just lip service and rhetoric. I'm afraid that the Honduran transfer of power – which was absolutely democratic, peaceful, and orderly – must therefore be frightening to his aspirations here.

Or because he really does prefer the tinpot dictator. Tyrannies are easy to deal with, diplomatically. You only have to make one guy happy. Democracies are messy and don't always do what you want them to do. He must hate that.

The president has chosen poorly because he is a sucky jackoff I think.
