Can anyone give me a clue as to why Obama and his socialist cabinet are supporting the return of this obvious marxist who wants to be a dictator for life? I don't get it. Come on Cap'n, Outsider, Cure, etc. help me out here. Why does he put the prestige and force of the American gov't against the Honduran constitution and legal system's ouster of this man?

Obama Doctrine 'coup'
Center for Security Policy | Nov 02, 2009
By Frank Gaffney, Jr.

Undermine our allies. Embolden our enemies. Diminish our country. If anyone doubted those nine words summed up the Obama Doctrine, look at what the President's team perpetrated last week in Honduras.
Assistant Secretary of State Thomas Shannon and the National Security Council's Senior Director for Western Hemisphere Affairs, Dan Restrepo, visited the Honduran capital, Tegucigalpa, on Wednesday to compel the country's recalcitrant democrats to make a deal with the man the latter had lawfully removed from the presidency on June 28th. It remains to be seen whether, pursuant to this deal, ex-President Manuel Zelaya will now be - as he claims - restored to power. What is already unmistakable, though, is that it is better to be a foe of America than its friend.

The Obama administration has been on the wrong side in this affair from the moment the Honduran supreme court and congress acted as required by their nation's constitution in the face of Zelaya's effort to engineer an illegal second term. Instead of standing with those who lawfully protected democracy, President Obama and his minions immediately joined the region's authoritarians - including notably Venezuela's Hugo Chavez and Cuba's Castro brothers - in declaring Zelaya a victim of a "coup." . . .
