Unlike his endless dithering over Iran and its elections, President Obama swiftly proclaimed his support for one side in the Honduras "is it a coup or counter-coup?" affair.
Unfortunately for Obama he came down on the wrong side of liberty.
The Honduran military moved to oust a President who was channeling Hugo Chavez (or Fidel Castro or just about any other socialist strong man) and attempting to use an illegal referendum to lend an air of legitimacy to his attempt to become "President for life".
This move was at odds with the Honduran courts, congress and even the sitting President's own political party.
So the military moved in and invited Manuel Zelaya to leave the country. (As in, not kill him!) They then oversaw the swearing in of the Speaker of the Honduran Parliament as interim President until the November elections.
Gee, sounds like a massive killing-fields meant to perpetuate an authoritarian regime. No, wait, that's Iran.
Obama is even at odds with Secretary of State Hillary Clinton who said the action was "not a coup".
Looks like Obama needs even more on the job training!
