I would say unbelievable but nothing surprises me from these people. Still, this is quite mind-boggling.

Oh, that's easy. Zelaya is Obama's b!tch, and Ortega isn't. So he supports Zelaya and not Ortega.

And to think that excon was of the opinion that Bush had a bad foreign policy... as excon would say "THIS DUFUS is breaking it sooooo badly..."

Let's have another chorus of the Obama theme song, under my bus...

Obama has thrown Zelaya under his bus again, this time by saying we would honor the elections in Honduras whether Zelaya was returned to power or not.

Ousted President Manuel Zelaya is asking the Obama Administration why, after pressing for his reinstatement, it now says it will recognize upcoming Honduran elections even if he isn't returned to power first.

In a letter sent to the U.S. State Department on Wednesday, Zelaya asked Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton "to clarify to the Honduran people if the position condemning the coup d'etat has been changed or modified."

His request came after Washington's top envoy to Latin America, Thomas Shannon, told CNN en Espanol that Washington will recognize the Nov. 29 elections even if the Honduran Congress decides against returning Zelaya to power...

The U.S. has repeatedly pressed for Zelaya's reinstatement. President Barack Obama was explicit in a speech this summer: "America supports now the restoration of the democratically elected President of Honduras."

Are we confused yet as to what Obama's foreign policy is? I might even suggest an alternative Obama theme song...

Yes, and how many times can a man turn his head,
Pretending he just doesn't see?
The answer, my friend, is blowin' in the wind,
The answer is blowin' in the wind.

The people of Honduras have spoken . The Washington Senior Observer Group, which went to Honduras to observe the recent elections released this statement:

At the invitation of the Union Civica Democratica and the Supreme Electoral Tribunal (TSE), the Washington Senior Observer Group traveled to Honduras to participate as international observers in the Honduran national elections of November 29, 2009. We joined over 600 observers from at least 31 countries who were present to observe and support the democratic process.
Members of this observer group visited over 75 different polling centers and entered hundreds of classrooms where the voting took place. We spoke with literally thousands of Hondurans. We witnessed the enthusiastic desire of thousands of Honduran citizens to cast their ballots. Many took time to thank us for our presence today. Without exception, they expressed confidence in the electoral system, pride in exercising their right to vote, and a profound hope that their election is a decisive step toward the restoration of the constitutional and democratic order in Honduras.
The voting stations were accessible to all, adequately supplied with carefully-controlled voting materials, and fully staffed and supported by national observers from participating political parties. We witnessed no voter intimidation by any group, individual, or party. While there was there was a police and military presence to provide security, we noted how the military and police conducted themselves in a professional manner. Incidents reported to us, such as late openings and locked voting stations, were quickly resolved and did not significantly disrupt the voting process. Our observations coincide with those reported by other observers and by the media throughout Honduras.
We witnessed a free, fair and transparent voting process conducted by committed and conscientious citizens.
We commend all members and volunteers of the TSE for the professional and independent manner in which they conducted today's elections.

The President after his initial error in supporting the Chavez wannabee Zelaya ;helped broker the agreement that led to this successful democratic election within the Honduran constitutional rule of law.

The new President?. Porfirio "Pepe" Lobo of the center-right National Party.
