As a born in Honduras and an American citizen, I am very upset about what Obama is doing in my homeland. He is supporting a wicked president and his allies (Chavez, Castro, etc.). Would you like to have a president who has ties with the traffic of drugs, wants to go to the left, wants to change the constitution so he is a president for life, spends your money in whatever he wants, etc? If you do you can have Zelaya (Honduras ousted president) for free. Guess not you have enough with Obama, good luck!

I don’t recall stating that Obama was not bound by the constitution. Point of fact, I’ve yet to see any evidence that he is participating in unconstitutional acts.

Please, provide me with the evidence, give me facts here. Without it, words are rather meaningless.

Along with that, is there an article in the Honduran Constitution that expressly forbids trying to amend it?

From my understanding, the the Honduran President tried to get legislation for an amendment that would extend his term. I see new Coup on his side either, seems to me that he was going through the proper channels and trying to do things, dare I say, in a democratic fashion.

Well, you think Obama is not bound by the Constitution, so why should anybody expect you to support the Constitution of any foreign country either?

So, having read the entire thread post, and been quite… enlightened as to what could be found there, I’ve a couple of things to ask those who are still looking around this thread.

1) Obama is trying to suppress dissenting opinion. May I find some examples of this, please? I’ve yet to find any myself.

2) Obama is trying to reduce personal freedoms. I seem to remember a president before this one who did that. *cough*PatriotAct*cough* But then it was to be expected from the conservatives, despite flag waving from the left? There is also this matter of a couple United States Attorneys being dismissed for not helping a certain political party. Not naming any names now.

3) From my understanding, the the Honduran President tried to get legislation for an amendment that would extend his term. I see new Coup on his side either, seems to me that he was going through the proper channels and trying to do things, dare I say, in a democratic fashion. The Senate and Supreme Court raised a flag, and then had the army remove him from the country. Without trial, without a court. That sounds fairly fishy to me, if not to you all. Instead of the other powers that be trying to go through the same channels, and force the issue that way, they just took the military (illegally), since, by the Honduran President firing one of the generals (as stated in a previous post) he obviously has Executive Power that includes the military.

So, in light of this information, perhaps Obama is not being pro-fascist, but pro-law. It would seem to me that he is trying to show that he prefers the law of the country to be respected. I think this is a case of supporting the wrong man for the right reasons, rather than the wrong man for the wrong reasons.

[...] is right to ask – given the Obama position on the two countries – if Obama is “objectively pro-fascist.”

No, Jorge, it isn’t a coup. Look up the word definition. Coup is when an ILLEGITIMATE small group of people takes over a legitimate government.

This was the legitimate Congress, and Supreme Court, telling the President that what he wanted to do was UNCONSTITUTIONAL..and he was going to do it anyway. So, they peacefully and gently brought him out of the country to prevent him from destroying the Constitution and starting massive riots in the process.

The legitimately elected Congress then elected the “next in line” of the SAME PARTY to be President.

This is how democracies work. They are supposed to follow their Constitution and their law, and their leaders are sworn to uphold all of the above.

It was not about not being “fit to be President” We have one of those now in our office, but that is not grounds for kicking someone out. It is called DEMOCRACY, and people get the government they deserve. It was about a guy grabbing power away from the people’s CONSTITUTION.
