Obama is a leftist president, supporting leftist type presidents such as Zelaya, Chaves, Correa and Fidel....Honduras will not be a puppet of any Country...

I hate Zelaya, becuase of him so many people have been really stressed out because we as Honduras dont know anymore what the future might behold for us, we dont if by tomorrow people are going to be setting bombs in public places just because an a.hole like Zelaya wanted to gain more power

@hectate7 Obama is not a leftist the investment banks bought his presidency during the '08 campaign he is in favor of corporate hegemony which is why his administration has recognized the coup regime, which will will reverse all the socialist/progressive reforms that Zelaya had implemented like a minimum wage and protection from privatization of state services, which always leads to heightened inequality. So fuck Obama, but not for your reasons

Krakaet neither Honduras´ top general is above the law, nether the interim president, who now call himself "constitutional presiden".

@Krakaet

you are sooo right!

Our Founding Fathers also said that we have a right to bring down what we view as a tyrannical government.

Good for Honduras in doing whatever was necessary to protect their FREEDOM--which btw, is what the military is for.

I still can't believe this man is our President. So unpresidential and certainly not a good speaker minus the teleprompters.

Also, notice how his eyes are not very engaging with those around him. I see this a lot in clips where he is off the prompter.

I don't like this term Democracy. I don't like it because tossing around the term 'democracy" leads to confusion. The united states is not a Democracy, people need to understand this.

Our founding fathers did everything they could to make sure the word "Democracy" was nowhere in our constitution or declaration of independence. The U.S.A is a Republic, a republic being RULED BY LAW.

As Honduras' top general said, "No one is above the law." Not Zelaya, and not Obama.

I just love how the left paints this as a coup despite the fact that it is legal. It's a little like referring to a cold fire or dry water. It would be funny if it wasn't so serious.
