Obama, Iran, and Honduras...What's the Deal?

Obama, Iran, and Honduras...What's the Deal?

Barack Obama said we shouldn't get involved in the Iranian election disputes. A week and a half later, he finally makes a statement condemning the violent government crackdown on protesters. The people and government of Honduras choose to remove a potential dictator from office - by following the law and court orders - and Obama condemns the move the very same day it happens. He found himself on the same side of other Latin-American dictators.

Where's the common sense? Where's the defense of liberty and self-government? Why is he consistently on the wrong side?

My ignorance

Darrell Curts - Thu, 2009-2-7 1:30 pm
led me to read up a little on the whole Honduran thing. I had seen bits and pieces on it but didn't really know what was going on. On the Iran thing I have to give Obama the benefit of the doubt - no real reason to react immediately to that situation seeing how they want absolutely nothing to do with us (I can't blame them given our history there). Any support shown by us emboldens the government. The Honduran thing has me puzzled though. It seems this guy was going off the deep end - changing term limits which is outlawed, in bed with Chavez, DEA investigation into drug running, spending state money with no budget and no accountability and seemingly mass corruption by his cronies. And this really does seem like a military coup. The Congress ordered the military to do it and they replaced him with a politician voted on by the Congress not a military puppet or leader. So it puzzles me why we are so anxious to get this guy back in power? And not just us but the entire world seems to want this guy back in power. Weird. Visit my homepage here
