OBAMA's Foreign policy - Honduras

Lot of people now a days talk about Acorn and health care policy and how it's affecting President Obama, so i though i talk little different...

Foreign policy:
The biggest PR campaign ran effectively by then candidate Obama's Campaign against Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin was, her Foreign Policy experiance. Remember the famous comment "I can see Russia from my house."
Well no one took effort even to check out, what really had happened in the interview, well it's past, but let me put it here for some one who is interested.


Not trying to defend Sarah Palin or anything, but that time i had posed question, we are questioning the experience for VP candidate on one side, why are we not questioning the other side for Presidential candidate???

Incident at Honduras has actually uncover the big issue what i had tried to raise.

U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday the coup that ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was illegal and would set a "terrible precedent" of transition by military force unless it was reversed.

"We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the president of Honduras, the democratically elected president there," Obama told reporters after an Oval Office meeting with Colombian President Alvaro Uribe.

Here is the problem, he didn't do the fact check - the Honduran military did NOT arbitrarily take power. Unlike former Honduran president Manuel Zelaya, it followed the rule of law and obeyed the highest court of Honduras.

The Honduran congress and supreme court rejected Zelaya's proposed referendum as illegal.

Then Zelaya confiscated the referendum ballots and tried to proceed with the vote.

Upon receiving an order from the highest court of Honduras, the Honduran army arrested Zelaya before the referendum could take place.

Yet the Obama administration was outraged that the Honduran army followed Honduran law and is backing the power-hungry Zelaya.

I think this is bigger blunder and foreign policy disaster. The Obama administration has effectively turned Zelaya into a symbol of democracy" while Zelaya "is exactly the opposite." The Obama administration does not believe that the highest court of Honduras is entitled to order that the constitution of Honduras be enforced.

So how confident should Americans be that Obama will respect the United States Constitution?
Thats my view - You decide....
