The Obama foreign policy is increasingly becoming a disaster.
In today’s episode, Barack Obama admits that the ousted President of Honduras “has strongly opposed American policies,” but should be reinstalled as President despite the democratic institutions of Honduras ousting him pursuant to the terms of the Honduran constitution.
Why?
Because he was democratically elected.
Nevermind that Zelaya wants to stay President via undemocratic means. Don’t look behind that curtain.
This is foreign policy by farce.
“America supports now the restoration of the democratically-elected President of Honduras, even though he has strongly opposed American policies,” the president told graduate students at the commencement ceremony of Moscow’s New Economic School. “We do so not because we agree with him. We do so because we respect the universal principle that people should choose their own leaders, whether they are leaders we agree with or not. “
How exactly is this consistent with Iran? Oh wait, he’s fine with the nutcase there too who rigged the election to stay in power.
Let’s add superficial to farcical and we have Obama’s foreign policy operation. And you know, let me be honest with you, I can’t imagine even Hillary Clinton going along with all of this by choice.

The universal principle that people should choose their own leaders
djemi Tuesday, July 7th at 12:15PM EDT (link)So why are the taxpayers paying for ACORN, why did BO send his lawyers from the New Party to challenge alll of those signatures when BO first ran for office. Why did BOs minons try to subvert all of the Dem cacuses in the Primaries by take the Captians jobs and delaying the votes until late in the night/wee hours of the morning before calling for a vote, you know after all of those working Hillary supporters had go home (reports for Texas)
Never mind, I know, BO is ‘The One’ so he can do whatever he wants.

I don’t want to hear any complaining when Barry goes on vacation….I don’t care, spend lots of money, just go on LOTS of vacations and stay out of World affairs…you’re doin it Wrong!
It comes down to two competing principles:
dvdmsr Tuesday, July 7th at 12:40PM EDT (link)The rule of the majority (democracy) versus the rule of Law (constitutionalism). We know the founding fathers preferred the rule of law, but I guess Obama disagrees.
No matter that a democratically elected leader violates the law, the constitution, and thus the rights of the people, Obama believes such a leader should remain in power.
I don’t think most of us here at Redstate are surprised by his preference, but what must be at least ironic for his fellow African Americans is that he apparently is espousing a position that the majority ought to rule - the rights of others (minorities) be damned.

My only guess
aesthete Tuesday, July 7th at 1:12PM EDT (link)That could possibly make sense of Obama’s foreign policy on such issues is that he is trying to keep the leadership of pretty much all countries static, so that he won’t have to deal with uncertainty, or with the loss of his efforts at personal overtures that would result from new leadership. Pretty stupid foreign policy, if you ask me, but it’s the only thing that explains why the President would be so committed to keeping anti-American regimes in power on a fraudulent basis. Of course, it could be that his initial prognosis was wrong, and that he’s too arrogant to admit that it was. At any rate, foreign policy under Obama is a wreck so far, unfortunately.

I bet Clinton bails when Barry hits 50 and something else like this happens.

Please continue to keep this one front and cener, Erick. It has defined Obama and what passes for his foreign policy.

Obama sees his own future
MNConservative Tuesday, July 7th at 4:45PM EDT (link)I am outraged, but not surprised, about Obama’s take on the Honduran issue. He’s siding with Zelaya, because he zelaya too.
Seriously, though, Obama knows that someday his charm is going to wear off, and the Press is going to wake up with a huge hangover.
Someone will finally run the story about how dual citizenship actually precludes a Natural Born status (who knew???), and how that makes him a usurper.
You don’t unelect usurpers. You don’t impeach usurpers. You lawfully remove them by force, and throw them in prison.
Obama sees his future in Zelaya, and he is afraid.
that's almost as good as the Harry Potter series

Is Guatemala affected by Zelaya situation?
GregInFla Tuesday, July 7th at 10:31PM EDT (link)My daughter is on a mission trip in Guetemala until she comes home Sunday. It seems the military police are on a high state of alert. Would Chavez invade Honduras thru Guatemala? Does anyone know the history there?
