[Fortunately, the Honduran people have no use for Marxism — as evidenced by their impeachment and disposal of Manuel Zelaya (which by the way was not a “coup” as Che fan Obama would have us believe; it was a well-ordered and entirely just impeachment).]

What was so revealing about Obama in this early test of his foreign policy was his decision to back a corrupt, leftist politician who had almost no public support in a country that is our most loyal ally in Latin America. Honduras sent troops to Kuwait to fight along the U.S. in the first Gulf War. When Obama couldn't force his will on the legal Honduran government he tried to destabilize it. What Obama called a “coup” was in fact a textbook constitutional response to an outlaw chief executive.

It would interesting to see the cable traffic during this crisis between the White House and Caracas because Obama mentor Hugo Chavez was surely being consulted.

Thank you for posting this to show what an animal "Che" was.
May it sink into the heads of the gullible who proudly sport their Che T-shirts and posters.

The Che myth is strong. Many years ago I was liberal enough to think he was a great guy. Partly because the Che imagery and propaganda is so relentless. It is still strong and sucking in a new generation of naive “Occupy” type fools

BTW— Very good treatment of Che here

Excellent analysis. Right on target. Most people don’t realize that Obama was so outraged over the Honduran people blocking Zelaya’s Marxist takeover the he (Obama) even cut off humanitarian aid, including food and healthcare supplies for infants.
