Obama promoting the lie.
Nope. It’s cause that’s what he’ll say when they run him out.
Along with the majority of the corporate media.
It was Zelaya attempting to seize power, even though he was only halfway through his term he decided to, with Chavez' aid, violate the Constitutional limits on executive power in several ways:
-Called for a plebiscite to change the term limit stated in the Constitution (only the Congress can arrange plebiscites, by a 2/3 vote)
-Publicly agitated against the constitutional authority of the congress to enforce the law, and against the constitution itself
-Sought the aid of the Military to achieve his plan, and when it wasn't forthcoming, sacked the officers who didn't co-operate
-sought and gained the aid of a foriegn government to subvert his own
-Etc...
That obama would be sympathetic to these shennanigans does not surprise me. That the mass media would represent this as "democracy", and the lawful process as a "military coup" frightens me; this is the propagation of The Big Lie, and a clear indication of the direction this administration intends to go.
