Matthew Cunningham, over at Red County, has a post worth reading about Barack Obama’s disastrous foreign policy.
We need to pay attention to Obama’s foreign policy. It is shaping up to be fatal to American interests.
He has given only tepid support to democratic protestors in Iran — and only after much needling and pushing by Republicans.
He has burned bridges with the French, something no one thought possible.
He has insulted the British and refuses to embrace the idea of it being our strongest alliance.
He refuses to take on the North Koreans despite their intentions to launch a missile toward Hawaii.
And now Barack Obama is standing with Hugo Chavez, Fidel Castro, and a host of communist regimes and sympathizers in Central and South America on the issue of Honduras.
To recap: The Honduran President decided, like Hugo Chavez, to have an “election” in order to keep himself in office longer than the law allowed.
The Honduran Constitution requires that Presidents serve one term. Given Latin American history, it is a good thing. The Constitution also requires that referenda be approved by the Honduran Congress.
The President of Honduras decided to have a referendum on giving him more time in office, which the Congress blocked. He went ahead anyway. The Honduran Supreme Court told him to stop. He ignored them.
So the Congress and the Supreme Court ordered the military to remove the President of Honduras. It was no coup. It was an attempt by two co-equal branches of government from preventing the third co-equal branch from becoming a dictator.
Nonetheless, Barack Obama sees it differently. He is supporting the democratically ousted President of Honduras. He joins Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro.
Meanwhile, people are still dying on the streets of Iran.

Can someone give me the Honduran story that is not from the AP?
DONTREADONME Monday, June 29th at 10:01PM EDT (link)I can only find the same story recycled over and over again all over the internet. It would seem to me that two branches of the Honduran government decided that the executive was overstepping and decided to enact their rights to remove the president. Seems like a pretty clear indication of Impeachment process in central American democratic republics. Anyway, I would appreciate any discussion as to why is our Zero of a President getting involved?

In keeping with the theme of this post...
DONTREADONME Monday, June 29th at 10:09PM EDT (link)may I say to Obama, WTHO? It seems pretty clear that the now deposed president is attempting to coup his way to unrestricted reign in the fashion of Hugo Chavez. Why the heck should America be meddling, I thought we were not going to meddle in other countries affairs? I mean I am really confused, is this guy a Communist/Socialist who fancies himself as the American equivalent of Hugo, Castro, Ortega, Stalin etc?
Obama is even more destructive than I thought a week ago. What the heck is wrong with the American people? This is what you wanted?

I wrote a diary earlier today with a link to a Honduran blogger who had actually voted for the guy in Nov. 2005, and has buyer’s remorse big time.
It is a great advantage to a president, and a major source of safety to the country, for him to know that he is not a great man.Calvin Coolidge

DONTREADONME Monday, June 29th at 10:13PM EDT (link)I need the real story or at least one with some real analysis of the situation in it because I do not believe the AP stories I am reading.

And meanwhile our Marxist president is marching forward

DONTREADONME Monday, June 29th at 10:12PM EDT (link)but seriously, Zero is starting to look more and more dangerous everday. This guy is becoming worse than anything we could have imagined. When we were telling everyone how bad he was going to be we were being slightly melodramatic, now I fear he is worse than anything we portrayed. The dominos are falling and quickly.

Kenny Solomon Monday, June 29th at 10:13PM EDT (link)I’d actually come out and say that it looks like President Obama is either a borderline traitor or actually one of the enemy.
Why would I think that ?
Just because President Obama is, in public, backing every enemy of The USA and ignoring the very few actual allies we have left like The UK and Israel ?
Just because our nation was threatened with a dated nuclear attack by (a madman, yes, but still) a leader of a nation with arguably some sort of capability and/or possibility of actually striking with a weapon or two ?
Just because a gent named Harold Koh was just a few days ago confirmed by The Senate to the position of Legal Adviser To The State Department - a man in Mr. Koh who has affirmed more than once that he literally wants to eliminate The USA’s own sovereignty and defer all governance to a one-world body headed up by The UN ?
I wouldn’t want to be considered disrespectful, so I’ll quit while I’m behind.
Of course you can have my guns……. Bullets first.
I didn’t say rounds, shells or magazines……

Kenny, I think you are right.
Stephen Halsey Monday, June 29th at 11:25PM EDT (link)I have no doubt in my mind that he is an enemy of the state. It goes beyond the examples you mention above. His actions are in keeping with every tin-pot Leftist dictator that has ever risen to power in the modern world. He is a very dangerous man.
Just look at what little we know of his upbringing. Globalist parents with Marxist leanings, 8 years ‘reading poetry’ with Uncle Frank, no doubt learning the finer points of communism from one of this country’s most notorious communists. ‘Seeking out the Marxist professors’ in college as he wrote in ‘Dreams of My Father’. Schooled in Saul Alinksy. Taught Alinky tactics. Had a close personal friendship with domestics terrorists Ayers and Dohrn. Rabble-rousing with ACORN in Chicago. Member of the New Party…..the list goes on and on.
He is cut from the same cloth as Castro, as Ortega, as Morales, as Chavez….a red-diaper Leftist bent on radically changing this country.
The people of this country had better wake up very soon or this country will be unrecognizable by 2012.
Hit hard. Hit fast. Hit often.

Stephen, he is not an enemy of the state.
Josh Painter Tuesday, June 30th at 12:19AM EDT (link)He is the state. And that state is the enemy of American liberty as passed on from generation to generation in the republic of the founders. The state of Obama aready bears little resemblence to that republic. By the time he is through with it, or rather when the Amercan people are through with him, there will be little left of what brave Americans paid for with their blood.

Mike gamecock DeVine Tuesday, June 30th at 6:55PM EDT (link)I was about to write a column on how this so-called coup in Honduras is not a coup and how Obama is always on the wrong side abroad and that even when he maintains Bush’s policies on the right side like in Iraq, he mis-characterizes the victories lest Bush’s democracy project be seen as the success it is.
Even though Iranians in the streets obviously see the truth.

The lawyers need money to oust Obama. courts cost.
drought Wednesday, July 1st at 12:51AM EDT (link)The latest lawyer to get a complaint in a court is in N J Kershner,et al vs Obama and Congress et al……the first one I read of is Philip Berg, Esquire , Philadelphia, Then there is The United States Justice Foundation , Gary G Kreep, Attorney, all attorneys with cases in the courts, in fact in many courts many complaints ,you can read some, all waiting for some money to continue on with the case against Obama, to have have Obama proove he was born in America , which he was not, His grandmother put it on tape/cassette he was born in Kenya. He has spent over $900,000.00 so far to keep the truth from the public, His birth certificate is phoney,. He is a fraud against the American people. When are you all going to protest, and also send money to the lawyers to get Obama dumpedlegally. ousted.? Like Bye Bye , Good riddance. Tell him to keep moving to anywhere but America. He is a pinko commie” thug “as one man wrote.
Don't forget that Obama was involved
