“o-bimb-o’s priority is wrecking the american economy and installing a marxist (chicago style) government so that the USA will mirror the prison that is Cuba.”

I hope that was a joke; otherwise, you are totally delusional.

The Economy is getting better, not out of the hole, but in the right direction. Read some decent websites if you can understand economics statistics.

A Marxist gov’t? Do you just repeat the Repugs lexicology like a parrot?

Tell that to Wall Street, GM, AT&T, McDonald’s, Walmart, Costco, Apple, Microsoft, BestBuy, Amazon, and the tens of thousands of medium and small business owners. We are not in your crazed country.

Now in regards to this being an indication that Obama is weak on Cuba, I
couldn’t disagree with you more. In a little over 6 months Obama has done more
to advance the cause of freedom in Cuba than Bush managed to do in 8 fruitless
years save the aforementioned ticker which was a good thing. The cause of
freedom in Cuba starts with freedom from the hunger and basic economic misery
that exists in Cuba and for which the Castro regime is no doubt responsible. By
allowing Cubans to travel to Cuba as often as we want and send as much as we
want without having to waste millions traveling and sending remittances through
third countries, which is what we’ve been doing for decades, means that more
money gets to our Cuban families who need these resources for basic economic
survival. As such they now have more time available to organize and work towards
achieving higher needs such as the need for free expression. What you and many
of your friends at Babalu Blog have failed to realize even now is that helping the
regime keep its people in poverty with a failed embargo which we Cubans are the
first ones to violate only perpetuates the Castro regime. You’ve become
accomplices to the very criminal regime which we all detest and that’s not only
unfortunate but sad. I don’t question your motives brother but I do continue to
question your judgement.

You’re joking, aren’t you? If not, you are a sad excuse for a human being.

Come back to PJM when you’ve actually grown a brain and learned how to use it.

“Countries get the governments they need and deserve”

That would make some sense if people actually had a CHOICE to make about their government (like us here in America). But in nations like Cuba, North Korea, Burma, Iran, or Zimbabwe, most people were simply born into a repressive system, and are powerless to stop it.

According to you, we should’ve done nothing in the face of brutal repression, in places like Nazi Germany or Haiti, given as those poor souls were really simply getting what they “deserve.” Nobody needs or “deserves” such cruel, or tyrannical rule. That’s simply a poor excuse to ignore the suffering of millions.

“Get it through your head, it was a COUP”

Before spewing any more one-sided rants, I challenge you to read Micheletti’s own defense for what really happened in Honduras: http://online.wsj.com/article/SB10001424052970204886304574311083177158174.html

The military does not rule Honduras. It was simply the instrument which the congress/supreme court (with the support of a majority of Zelaya’s own party members) used to remove him from office.

Don’t confuse the two events that unfolded in Honduras: removal of the president, and expelling him from the country. Removing Zelaya from office was constitutional. Expelling from the country was not. Those committing illegal acts (like Zelaya) are usually arrested/jailed/put on trial; they are not handed one-way tickets to Costa Rica.

Micheletti argues that Zelaya’s penchant to cause mischief made it too dangerous to keep him in Honduras. He may have a point, given that Zelaya had personally led a mob to storm the military base holding the Venezuelan-printed referendum ballots, and had allegedly already rigged a referendum “victory.” But still, I’d agree that it doesn’t quite legally jive to have him expelled. Article 239 of the Honduran constitution states that any president attempting to extend their term in office must be disqualified. But it says nothing about forcing them into exile.
