Not so much since the beginning of the year.
“The United States has changed a great deal,” he said at the news conference, noting that President Obama had not only denounced his removal as an illegal coup, but then went further, calling for his return to power." -----Yes, this is the change Obama supporters voted for. Sad, very, very sad.
Of course they did. The UN is an illegal organization and BO is a supporter of lawlessness.
UN despots calling for the salvation of one of their own.
Bad precedent when people rise up for the rule of law and kick out the tyrant.
UN says can’t have that.
Obama of course agrees.
Hang the marxist
Not one person killed now 3 days after it happened...
The leftists always back the SA marxists. They did the same thing with the Sandinistas during Reagan’s time. Many democrats (including Obama) have ties to FARC as well.
Got to keep that columbian blow running for Obama...(eye roll)
Well I would hope that our military would remove Obama if he tried the same stunt as Zelaya. So is Obama saying that A Democratically elected leader who usurps the nations Constitution should remain in power?
Maybe a reporter will Ask Mr. Obama what he thinks the right answer to the quandry is especially as it relates to this country or would his Presidential decree to usurp the 22nd Amendment be justified as well?
Zelaya sounds like your typical tossed tyrant, throwing around hyperbole like “brutal coup” and “an act of aggression attacking the democratic will of the people” and “ blow against democracy”...
Seems his definition of democracy is quite different than Webster’s.
Not so much since the beginning of the year.
Unfortunately their biggest mistake was in leaving Zelaya alive.
Dead men dont cry to the UN. They cannot be reinstalled.
Obama dosnt surprise me in the least. I knew what he was before he was elected. I have no cause to change my mind.
He hates America and he hates freedom .
The UN has already proven itself to be one of the most useless international organizations in history and in this Honduran matter, simply confirms it again.
This clown is pretty darn stupid. If he returns he won’t be President but will be in jail and if he stays gone he still won’t be President but he’ll be free.
I am sick of paying for an organization that can do nothing better than coddle thugs and wanna-be dictators.
This case is particularly egregious: this was a judicial removal of Zelaya, a man using methods heinous to the Honduran constitution to ride roughshod over the laws of the country.
The fact that it was the military that effected his removal is ancillary; there is no junta and there was no coup d'etat. The Honduran constitution is still in effect, and the legal successor of Zelaya has taken office in his stead.

My thanks to Rome2000 and cripplecreek for finding and posting these photos on this thread.
Wow, every day gets more and more bizarre...can’t wait to see what tomorrow brings.....shaking head
Was this action today right after they condemned the corrupted election in Iran? I must have missed that?
So now the U.N. is the interpreter of the law in Honduras? I guess sovereignty is now gone. So the U.N. wants to overrule the government of Honduras and put a dictator wannabe back in power?
I don’t support the Federal government’s position with regard to Honduras at all.
I really don’t get this. There are various credible news reports that claim Zelaya’s ouster was legal, yet the media, U.N., Obama, etc. continue to claim that this was a coup and that Zelaya was tossed out illegally by just the military. None of these sources, including our adminstration, even attempt to adress the logical and coherent claims made by the Honduran Supreme Court, the legislature, and the military.
Does the U.N. and Obama dispute what the government of Honduras has said? If so, let’s hear why. Seems to me that by not even addressing the government’s version, they are tacitly admitting they are unable to do so. So if they believe that Zelaya should be able to regain power, do they also believe that he should be able to violate the terms of the Honduran constitution by holding the referendum? Where in the hell does Obama stand on this? Thus far, the only logical interpretation is that he favors Zelaya’s ability to disregard the rule of Honduran law in an effort to maintain power. Am I missing something here?
