Colindres: Obama A "Little Black Man"

The U.S. ambassador to Honduras has objected strongly to the foreign minister for the de facto Honduran government, Enrique Ortez Colindres, calling President Obama a "little black man who knows nothing," reports the Daily Kos.

Colindres has referred to U.S. President Obama several times in interviews as a "little black man", according to AFP.

AFP reports that U.S. Ambassador Hugo Llorens reacted angrily to Colindres' comments, saying it was a "disrespectful and racially insensitive" verbal assault on President Obama.

Colindres has apologized for his comments.
