Isn’t it hilarious that the only place Obama can influence is the law-abiding democracy acting in a reasonable manner? And even more so that his influence is entirely negative?

Worst. President. Ever.

Here is a perceptive take on Zelaya's recent letter to Secretary Clinton about Mr. Shannon's press conference as well as on the Solis - Reina joint press conference. La Gringa notes that the Verification Commission press conference was used to spread propaganda by Jorge Arturo Reina who gave a completely inappropriate and divisive speech, to the shock of many. US Secretary of Labor Hilda Solís was sitting next to him and a couple of times appeared very uncomfortable with his vitriolic rhetoric. She continues, I think that it is telling that Zelaya chose a representative to the Verification Commission who was not on his original negotiation team, unlike Micheletti. I have not heard any statements by Zelaya's three Guaymuras negotiators disputing the interpretation of Micheletti's negotiators that the National Congress is free to decide the issue. I think she is right.

Zelaya gets reinstated and he is just gonna shoot all those that kicked him out. or they will meet with unfortunate accidents as all the PC crowd would say. why would they let the military carry out the wishes of a democratic elected congress?

U.S. Labor Secretary Hilda Solis and former Chilean President Ricardo Lagos arrived today in Honduras. They stated,

“I hope we can put all our efforts into moving forward the accord that was signed by the Hondurans,” Lagos said in brief remarks to reporters.

“You have designed a clear road and we’re very honored to be able to play the role of verifiers,” he added.

Meanwhile, Solis said that she felt “very proud” to be in Honduras representing President Barack Obama, who “is very focused on this matter.”

“I want to work with you and see where and how we can find a solution,” she emphasized.

“Clear road”? President Obama “very focused” on the situation? That’s cool.

Here is a link to an interview with Mr. Shannon on November 3. It is in Spanish. It seems quite clear that, under Mr. Shannon's interpretation of the accord, it is up to the Congress whether Mr. Zelaya is to be reinstated.

Former President Zelaya is reported to have sent a letter to Secretary Clinton, requesting a "clarification" of the U.S. position on the "coup" and the meaning of the accord. Zelaya apparently noticed that Mr. Shannon, in a press conference on November 2 (after the signing of the accord), had said that Zelaya's reinstatement is up to the Honduran Congress, in consultation with the Supreme Court, and that the U.S. will recognize the November 29 election regardless of whether Zelaya is reinstated. The position taken by Zelaya, that the accord requires his reinstatement, is inconsistent with that of Mr. Shannon.

ok, so perhaps the state department is stupid, and evil and corrupt.

i agree, we are finished, screwed, done, stick a fork in all of us. but i cant help it, as an eternal optimist, i see the glass as half full in the “agreement”, and do not see a path to zelayas return to power. it is a transparent way to run out the clock, hold new elections without the “funny” ballots.

as for ortega? he is simply a thug, a drug lord, and will have the life span of a hunted criminal if he doesnt correct his evil ways soon. he is pushing the limits people are willing to tolerate and will fall to the same sword he used to get into power……….

Where is the Obana-Hillary outrage over Daniel Ortega’s tyranny in Nicaragua? With the US embassy there under seige, and the US ambassador on the run from the sandinistas, after the Supreme Court declared their constitution to be unconstitutional.
Who can explain the US State Department’s different reactions to Honduras and Nicaragua? Could it be possible that it is because Honduras is fighting for freedom and democracy, while the child rapist Ortega is tightening his communist grip on the good people of Nicaragua? When will Hillary’s smart deplomacy kick into action? I predict the 12th. of never.

Another job “saved” by Obama!!!

Yes, there will be hell to pay soon. the only part of our country that I doubt is the NE. The rest would fight to the bitter end. The NE will want to know where the welfare checks are.
