The administration's approach appeared designed to avoid damaging Washington's ties either to U.S.-allied backers of the coup that forcibly removed President Manuel Zelaya or the regional powers who have universally condemned it.

Better headline:
Obama Still Voting "Present"
“It was the Supreme Court and their Congress following their constitution and laws.”
That is such a novel and undemocratic prinicple, in President Obama’s thinking, that he is afraid it might be done elsewhere............You know that a President, especially a President Obama, is divinly annoitted and rules by divine right........something pesky like a constitution or a legislative branch can’t overrule that.....that would be blasphemy.
Yeah I think there are a few issues at play in Honduras that make obama a little antsy. Democrats hate representative government and want mobocracy. Plus there’s this term limit thing that bothers them quite a bit.
I’m wondering if our some of our political enemies will see the light soon. Just enough to stop this bastard.
44 Dems could say “hey I’m a democrat but what he’s doing to America has to be stopped”.
pray
That’s what makes O’s “illegal” comments preposterous! He apparently knows more than their Supreme Court.
An Astute observation.
That's why you never see pix pix of Obama fly-fishing in waders.
He's also meddling in Israel, trying to get Netanyahu's government to fall. Obama is exhibiting obvious signs of schizophrenia. Anyone else who goes around saying he's Abraham Lincoln would have the men in white suits after him.
LOL!
Obama: 'Honduras coup not legal'
************************EXCERPT*************************
US President Barack Obama has described the removal of Honduran President Manuel Zelaya as illegal.
He made his remarks during a joint news conference with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe in Washington.

The swearing in of Roberto Micheletti - constitutionally second in line for the presidency - was greeted with applause in Congress.
In a speech, he said that he had not assumed power "under the ignominy of a coup d'etat".
The army had complied with the constitution, he said, and he had reached the presidency "as the result of an absolutely legal transition process".
Congress said he would serve until 27 January, when Mr Zelaya's term was due to expire. Presidential elections are planned for 29 November and Mr Micheletti promised these would go ahead.
Both Congress and the courts had opposed Mr Zelaya's referendum, which asked Hondurans to endorse a vote on unspecified constitutional changes alongside the November elections.
Tensions over the issue had been escalating for several days, with the army refusing to help with preparations for the referendum.
Just before dawn on Sunday, troops stormed the president's residence. There was confusion over his whereabouts for several hours before he turned up in Costa Rica.
Zero is trying to go along with the Central and South American socialist governments.
