Sensationalism trumps facts.

It is true that the Honduran Constitution prohibits any attempt to alter the presidential term limits. Zelaya proposed to conduct a public opinion poll which asked the following question:

Do you agree that in the general elections of November 2009 a fourth ballot box should be installed to decide whether to convene a National Constitutional Assembly that would approve a political Constitution?

In other words, this treasonous pig Zelaya was ousted for proposing a poll to authorize a referendum on the November ballot that (if successful) would authorize a Constitutional Assembly to alter the Constitution. This would appear on the November ballot, mind you. Zelaya's term ends in January.

It's also worth noting that the military bundled Zelaya on a jet and flew him off to Costa Rica. So what, you ask? Well, it just so happens that exiling a Honduran citizen from the country is also forbidden under the Honduran constitution.

Maybe Zelaya is Chavez's BFF. Fine. Oppose him to your heart's content. That doesn't justify the actions of the Honduras military in removing him from office.

com'on folks.....you use the word constitution like it means sumpin'...... what it means today is that a buch of guys hangin' out in philly in 1776 wasted their time.....

am I wrong????

oh yeah???

prove it!!!!

Where is Jimmy Carter, champion of the democratic process, in this?

Suppose Netanyahu did what Zelaya did. Jimmy would be hysterical in his outrage.

neals states "referendum that would have allowed him to avoid constitutional term limits".
In reality Hondurans would simply have been asked whether they wanted to vote in the November general elections on a constituent assembly to rewrite the 1982 Constitution. If this actually came about, the new Constitution might well allow presidential reelection, but it's not easy to see how any constituent assembly could finish its work in time to keep Zelaya in office after his term expires on January 27, 2010.

and what about Columbia? you haven't heard about it? well, Columbia's president want to rewrite the nations constitution and throw out the term limits.

President Álvaro Uribe of Columbia is taking a page from chavez's book. why he's he been vilified by the press in the country or the leaders of this country? oh, that's right. he's part of the american empire. he can do the same things that leaders who aren't part of our empire, and get away with it.

that's the US for ya

It sounds to me like they have a branch of ACORN working down there. No wonder Obama is mad. His secrets are coming out.

Obama's support of this may be a sign of his feelings on removing the 22nd ammendment limiting presidential terms to two. They'll just call it a crisis and he'll have to run again. just like FDR. of course we won't see this if he gets re-elected. we'll see

Plus fifteen million blogs have listed it, but I'll be listening to see if it makes it to the main stream news HA!

I'm guessing that not being able to see this Honduras thing for what it is and voting for Obama weren't the only two bone-headed things you've done in your life, were they?

Our president sides with Chavez and Castro against a CLEARLY legal and democratic change of power in a sovereign country, and your retort is "but but but republicans..."

Bloody brilliant.

now thats change that is unbelievable!!! obama our nations destroyer!!

Yep, you got it right Herman…take another sip of your Kool-Aid. Why do you think the Republicans are not worried about the American economy? Just because they disagree with the current course of massive Federal spending and related deficits does not indicate that they are not concerned with the economy.

Is this the next country that republicans would like to cancel their debt rather than worry about the American economy? Just wondering

Sounds like birds of a feather... I guess Mr. Zelaya should apply for a position with ACORN. He certainly has all the traits of a good communist... oops, I mean community organizer.
