Everything about the reaction of O's admin to the attempt by a "Chavezista/Castroista" to manipulate his way into dictatorship in Honduras, smacks of, not just sympathy but, actual antagonism to constitutional self-governance. Honduran law very simply mandates one term; for any elected leader to even utter a verbal or printed word of aspiration to a second term, is a self-inflicted removal-from-office. Zalaya went way beyond that and was deemed to have violated the constitution; the order from Honduran supreme court to the military was not, by definition, a "military coup."
The disregard/contempt/propagandizing in favor of leftist, revolutionary takeover forces, by Obama's folks has brought about the current situation: Zalaya rallying his supporters from a Brazilian embassy.
We now have (the first of assuredly more) a dead body that would/should have never have been part of any conflict over such a clear-cut case of a dictator/Chavez wannabe being put out to pasture.
" One dead in Honduras clash, world pressure grows" and you see how even the headline portrays the conventional take on who should be "pressured."
"TEGUCIGALPA (Reuters) – A man was shot and killed in a clash between police and supporters of ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya, as international pressure mounted on the de facto government to allow the leftist back into power.
It was the first reported death in political violence since Zelaya, forced into exile by a June 28 coup, slipped back into Honduras this week and took refuge in the Brazilian Embassy."
Me: notice they use the term "de facto government" to de-legitamize the clear constitutional process that was established, mind you, to prevent the type of banana-republic dictator that, if in the service of a rightwing (or as perceived) politician, would prompt, not support from an American president, but protests over how America props up lackeys.
Yes, Obama, your intervention has killed someone!
