#2 We can't get straight answers from him about our own Constitution, but the Honduran Law he knows inside and out in less than a day.

#6 Well, we have a new entry in the political dialectic. According to the ever evolving leftist meme of statecraft, a president who is "democratically elected" can disregard the legislative and judicial branches, get help from a foreign military, and stage what amounts to his own sham election if he wants an additional term (unless of course he is a Republican and this is the US we are talking about).

That, friends, is an inescapable and logical inference from the reaction to the Honduran constitutional crisis in liberal, media, and other leftist circles.
We probably cannot save Honduras from an authoritarian caudillo in the Castro/Allende/Chavez mold at this point. Our population is too heavily indoctrinated with misapplied and loaded terminology (like "coup"), weasel words, and common bigotry.

Indeed, we will be lucky to save ourselves.

#7 Think of the precedent, folks.

Will Obama and ACORN have help from the Venezuelan air force if they try to stage their own sham election and give the Zero a third term in 2016? Ridiculous? Sure, but it is no different from what they are trying to force on the people of Honduras. After all, the One was "democratically elected."

#8 Just proves Oblahblahblah knows NOTHING about being a president (Small P on purpose) He's getting by on bluff alone. Absolutely NO experience.
