He was getting buddy buddy with Hugo Chavez of Venezuela, that's probably where he got the idea of doing away with term limits. Isn't it funny how part of becoming a dictator involves elimination of term limits.
Barak Hussein Obama will probably mention it as "up for consideration" if he gets re-elected and isn't inpeached before the end of his second term. No doubt that's one of the problem areas he was thinking about when he said, "The Constitution is flawed."
Oh by the way, Venezuelan citizens are now limited in how much money they can send out of the country. Hugo wants to be able to confiscate as much as he can.
"The bloodless overthrow in the impoverished coffee and textile exporting country of 7 million people has created a test of Washington's commitment to defending democracy in Latin America."
If the Obama administration gave a rat's ass about "Democracy" and the rule of law they would be SUPPORTING in interim Government, not condemning it......
Of course we all know that Obama doesn't give a damn about Democracy, Constitutions or the Rule of Law just by his actions in the U.S.....
This hemisphere is diving head-on into despotic Sochavism compared to which nazism will look like child's play. Obama is a chavista to his marrow, and he will try the same president-for-life gambit at some point. HIS supreme court which he's about to design in his own image will bless, not arrest him.
Hang in there Honduras. Don't let Castro, Obama, Chavez, Morales, and Ortega decide what's good for Honduras. Your ex-president broke the law and it was removed as it should.
Real story is that the people of Honduras stopped a coup when they k***d the pres out for tryiong to dismember the constitution ansd set himself up as the spream leader like some place else I know
Barak Hussein Obama must help Honduras. Chavez has to learn from this experience that the law is above him even in Venezuela and one day it will
be his time to be ousted. So far I don't trust Obama. He is moving the
country to the left and wrong direction.
As an American on the 4th of July, I have to say, Good job Honduras, let freedom rain. The Founding Fathers of America salute you, and your courage to overthrow tyranny.
Don't let the Presidents of other nations with their less than good intentions stand in the way of Truth, Liberty, Justice for the Honduran People.
How can President Obama take this position against the People of Honduras, it is unconscionable. The People of Honduras removed a President who was threatening to make himself into a dictator.
In the future Mr President, just keep your mouth shut. George Washington's advice on these matters was clear when he stated "Do not get entangled in the Politics of Europe".
It past time for America's Politicians to fix the problems at home, and let the rest of the World take care of their own.
This 4 th of July we celebrate Hondura for its freedom and strenghth to fight the dictators of South America Obama,Chavez, Castro and any other country that supports the OAS. This was not a coup it was a nation that stands for preserving its constitution and their congress and supreme court ordered the Military to get rid of their President that is charged with multiple crimes including drug smuggling. The US press is slanting the story to protect Obama who is siding with his Buddy Chavez.
Our country should always stand up for freedom. We should support the people of Iran and Honduras. This is the 4th of July. We fought for our freedom and should encourage others in the path to the Land of the free and the home of the Brave.
I have not read the charter of the Organization of American States, nor have I read the Constitution of Honduras. However, the Supreme Court of Honduras ordered the Honduran military to arrest Manuel Zelaya and transport him out of the country. I kinda believe the Supreme Court of Honduras has read and understands its Constitution. I can't imagine that the OAS Charter gives Secretary General Jose Miguel Insulza any right to DEMAND that Honduras allow its would-be dictator to return.
Zelaya was apparently trying to circumvent the Constitution of Honduras and remain in power beyond his elected term. To me, that's not democratic while the Supreme Court of any country ordering its military to remove a president who was trying to circumvent its Constitution is. The people of Venezuela may come to wish its Supreme Court had done the same.
Barak Hussein Obama, who has said, "Tthe Constitution of the United States is flawed," will use every opportunity to load the US Supreme Court with justices that will allow him to turn the United States into a social democrat Marxist dictatorship.
In an interview with WBZ in Boston he said, "We can no longer rely solely on the military for our security. We need a civilian security force that is as powerful, as well armed, and as well funded as the military."
Now, why in the world does Barak Hussein Obama think the US needs something similar to Adolph Hitler's brown shirts?
The national socialists are on the march around the world. Make the people "think" they need them in power. On ivory tower for all to worship. The monster the totalitarians are building will lead us all into slavery. SOCIALISM is SLAVERY to the state. The working middle class is "forced" to pay for socialism. There is no one else to pay the bills. The cost is liberty and freedom.
Chairman bho is a traitor, is ignoring his oath of office and is operating outside of the US Constitution. SOCIALISM IS SLAVERY TO THE STATE.
Outcry, Swiftcreek and many of you have said the same thing as I in past days and yet I still keep hearing the same thing not just from the idiots ruining - I mean running the country, but the media. How in the hell can they even begin to call this a crisis?! No one's died that I've heard and the streets are peaceful. For what it's worth it may be time to up the game and start talking to freinds and nieghbors this 4th and start sending emails to senators, congressmen and what ever editoral column that will listen. Happy Independence Day Honduras, today we'll be toasting you!!!
All those who have shown their support for Honduras in their struggle to maintain their democracy would do well attend to their own Nation as it struggles with forces seeking to destroy that very same thing at home.
Happy 4th July celebrations and give thanks and remembrance to those who sacrificed made it possible.
The OAS was founded to fight Communism & now wants to return one to office. I am distusted by the fact that B. Hussein Obama has chosen
to support a person who wants to be a dictator. I fear that if he gets re-elected in 2012 (God forbid) he will try to do the same thing here.
WHY WHY WHY is the LIBERAL MEDIA and our STATIST Leader Obama siding with the ousted Honduran President on this event? The president was best friends with Chavez and was going to eliminate term limits like Hugo did in Venezuela. The people of Honduras stood strong for true Democracy and ousted the tyrant! We should watch and learn, and remember our roots as Americans and our own revolutionary heritage! We need to support the Hondurans and let our reps in Washington know that we do not want anything to do with the OAS , the UN , or any of these other Socialist organizations.
"It is better to pay this high price ... than live undignified and bow the our heads to the demands of foreign governments
YOU ARE DAMNED RIGHT.....FUC%$K OBAMA AND HIS NEW BROTHER CHAVEZ....
Obama is sidelined on this one... HE wants the same Revolution for America..... Chavez took control thru teh economy.... Zelaya took control thru the economy.... Obama took control thru teh economy.... NOW poor small minded Minions will always vote for their master ... the hand that feeds..... BUT ...CHAVEZ ...OBAMA ... and Zelaya HAVE ONE THING IN COMMON.... TOTAL CONTROL... SOCIALIST CONTROL....
FUC&^K OBAmA .... HIS BROTHER CHAVEZ... and ZELAYA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Poor/stupid people are so easily controlled...and told what to do ...think....etc....
"But the Obama administration has let the OAS take the lead in trying to resolve the crisis."
Obama cant lead jack-sh#t
How sad that a country is making the right move toward democracy and they get treated like this by the OAS and Obama. They should be honoring this country and using them as an example to other countries to show that they stand behind the constitution and freedom loving people anywhere. What a mockery they both make of democracy to the world...Shame on them!
Shame on the "O" Administration for not backing the rights of the Honduran people in their fight against Communism!!! Whoever votes for these Democrat bizzaros in 2010 and 2012 is either a Socialist or a stinking Communist!!
If Zelaya is returned to Honduras and he is given due process in broad daylight-and then relieved of his cargo AND his citizenship according to the constitution it will give the interim government a more legitimate appearance. Few doubt the illegality of Zelaya's actions( well I did until I read the bizarre laws concerning presidential terms in the Honduran constitution) but the covert way in which the congress and supreme court arrested and deported him and later announced what had happened tarnish the image of the interim government.
While Zelaya violated his constitution we do not want to encourage military coups in other that region or anywhere.
I quote from one of the most elegant documents in history:
"When in the Course of human events it becomes necessary for one people to dissolve the political bands which have connected them with another and to assume among the powers of the earth, the separate and equal station to which the Laws of Nature and of Nature's God entitle them, a decent respect to the opinions of mankind requires that they should declare the causes which impel them to the separation.
...The history of the present [President of Honduras] is a history of repeated injuries and usurpations, all having in direct object the establishment of an absolute Tyranny over these States. To prove this, let Facts be submitted to a candid world.
He has refused his Assent to Laws, the most wholesome and necessary for the public good."
GOD BLESS AMERICA and GOD BLESS HONDURAS
Rueters is nothing but a great big communist a__ kisser. The government of Honduras was not overthrown in a coup. The government of Honduras was preserved by getting rid of a President who was trying to overthrow the government by not stepping down as required by their constitution after 1 term in office.
The last time the OAS was heard from they were calling for the inclusion of Cube in the organization. All members of the organization need to have a democratic government to be admitted, Cuba does not qualify. The leaders of most of the countries in the OAS are leftist tin pot despots including Obama. They need to concentrate on correcting the ills of their own countries and not worry about Honduras.
