Sorta OT, but not really. After Shiplord Kirel noted the Honduran President’s arrest, I read up on that. Now we have a new report where Team Obama, including Hillary, are denouncing the clearly legal removal of the president and ‘illegal and immoral.’ Good grief. I wish they were out in front of Iran just like they are with Honduras, although they are on the wrong side of right.

Zelaya, a leftist allied with Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, was arrested shortly before polls were to open in a referendum on whether to change the constitution. The Supreme Court ruled the referendum illegal and everyone from Congress to members of his own party opposed it. Critics said Zelaya wanted to remove limits to his re-election.

The Honduran SC ruled the actions of the President illegal.

President Obama said he was “deeply concerned” by Zelaya’s expulsion and U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said the arrest should be condemned.

“I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter,” Obama’s statement read.

“The action taken against Honduran President Mel Zelaya violates the precepts of the Inter-American Democratic Charter, and thus should be condemned by all,” Secretary of State Hillary Clinton said in a statement Sunday.

What ‘rule of law’ are Team Obama talking about? b, thereby removing him from office. WTF?
