Problems in Honduras

Great. A lot of people are reporting that initially Obama was against the coup but is now condeming it. I thought we weren't meddling. Unless it is someone violating their own Constitution, which Zelaya is. When he was seeking another term (against Honduras' law, apparently of which term limits are one part that cannot be amended), the Supreme Court as well as the people ordered the military to remove Zelaya.

What about Zelaya? Seems to fit right in the mold with Obama and Chavez, trying to power-grab, ignoring the Constitution, etc. Obama may not be on the same level with Chavez (yet...wait until health care "reform" gets passed), but recall that Chavez joked he might be to the right of Obama.
