of MiamiHerald's story? For those who never bother to look for the devil in the details:<br /> <br /> "The trouble began ...as Zelaya pursued plans to hold a national referendum that might have allowed him to reform the constitution. While Zelaya portrayed the action as a nonbinding poll, OTHER BRANCHES OF GOVERNMENT -- including CONGRESS AND THE SUPREME COURT -- SAW IT AS A BACK-DOOR POWER GRAB that could have opened the way to his reelection<wbr/>." (emphasis added)<br /> <br /> Zelaya wanted to be Dictator-For-Life like Castro. Term limits in Honduran Constitution prevented him. Their Constitution says referendums originate only by Congressional action, but Zeyala started his own, with help from Chavez who shipped in referendum ballots printed in Venezuela. Honduran Congress was upset, said Zeyala was breaking the law, and SupremeCourt agreed. Congress and the SupremeCourt ordered the military to remove Zeyala from office, all done according to Honduran law. Imagine that: Honduran elected&appointed officials, sworn to uphold their Constitution, did exactly that. <br /> <br /> This was no military coup. The only (attemted)coup was by Zelaya to usurptheir Constitution. So what if Micheletti is stubborn? So what if he's as ugly as Cheney? He didn't ask for the job, it was appointed to him by law. Besides, he won't be president in 6months after Honduras' regular election. <br /> <br /> Obama agreeing with Chavez&Castro against Honduras' Constitution speaks volumes about Obama's disrespect for our own Constitution and rule of law.</p> </div> <div class="comments-posted" style="clear:both;"> <span class="comments-posted-text"> <a class="sm-link cmt_fav b_pixie" id="best_27522724" href="#" onclick="ClickTracker.favComment(27522724, 229327, 2); return false;"><span style="width: 3px"> </span>Favorite</a> <a class="sm-link cmt_flag b_pixie" id="flag_27522724" href="#" onclick="ClickTracker.flagComment(27522724, 229327, 2); return false;"><span style="width: 3px"> </span>Flag as abusive</a> </span> <span class="posted-date">Posted 01:10 PM on 07/22/2009</span> <div id="reply_ajax_for_27522724"></div> </div>  </div>  <div id="comment_children_27522724"> </div>  <div id="comment_26943130" class="main" style="margin-left: 0px;">  <div class="comments-author"> <a class="cmt_collapse b_pixie text_replace" id="cmt_txt_wrap_collapse_26943130" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="Comments.collapseComment(26943130);return false;"> - </a> <a class="cmt_expand b_pixie text_replace" id="cmt_txt_wrap_expand_26943130" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="Comments.expandComment(26943130); return false;" style="display:none;"> + </a> <span class="commenter"> <a style="color: #337062;" href="/users/profile/CaptD">CaptD</a> <a id="becomefan_393311_26943130" class="sm-link becomefan_link" href="/users/becomeFan.php?of=CaptD" onclick="return FanSystem.becomeFan('CaptD')">I'm a Fan of CaptD</a> <span id="becomefanupdated_393311_26943130" style="font-size:12px; color: #337062; font-style:italic; padding-left:12px; display:none">I'm a fan of this user</span> </span> <span class="commenter" style="color:#337062;">20 fans</span> <a href="?show_comment_id=26943130#comment_26943130" class="sm-link">permalink</a> </div> <div class="comments-body" id="cmt_txt_wrap_26943130"> <div class="comments-body-picture"> <a href="/users/profile/CaptD"><img class="unloaded-image" border="0" width="45" height="45" alt="photo" src="/images/trans.gif" longdesc="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/profiles/393311.png?20081027153341"/></a> </div> <p>Letting the now X Pres. back into the Country would become the first step of allowing him to seek foreign Military "aid" to support him as soon as he landed!<br /> <br /> The people of Honduras should be able to elect a President that will lead them, and not be "stuck" with someone that decides to break the laws of Honduras anytime he wants to!<br /> <br /> We American would not accept that, why are we expecting the People of Honduras to do that?<br /> <br /> This may turn out to be Obama's first real "blunder" in foreign affairs...</p> </div> <div class="comments-posted" style="clear:both;"> <span class="comments-posted-text"> <a class="sm-link cmt_fav b_pixie" id="best_26943130" href="#" onclick="ClickTracker.favComment(26943130, 229327, 2); return false;"><span style="width: 3px"> </span>Favorite</a> <a class="sm-link cmt_flag b_pixie" id="flag_26943130" href="#" onclick="ClickTracker.flagComment(26943130, 229327, 2); return false;"><span style="width: 3px"> </span>Flag as abusive</a> </span> <span class="posted-date">Posted 10:45 AM on 07/11/2009</span> <div id="reply_ajax_for_26943130"></div> </div>  </div>  <div id="comment_children_26943130"> </div>  <div id="comment_26910716" class="main" style="margin-left: 0px;">  <div class="comments-author"> <a class="cmt_collapse b_pixie text_replace" id="cmt_txt_wrap_collapse_26910716" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="Comments.collapseComment(26910716);return false;"> - </a> <a class="cmt_expand b_pixie text_replace" id="cmt_txt_wrap_expand_26910716" href="javascript:void(0)" onclick="Comments.expandComment(26910716); return false;" style="display:none;"> + </a> <span class="commenter"> <a style="color: #337062;" href="/users/profile/Cambridge9">Cambridge9</a> <a id="becomefan_297871_26910716" class="sm-link becomefan_link" href="/users/becomeFan.php?of=Cambridge9" onclick="return FanSystem.becomeFan('Cambridge9')">I'm a Fan of Cambridge9</a> <span id="becomefanupdated_297871_26910716" style="font-size:12px; color: #337062; font-style:italic; padding-left:12px; display:none">I'm a fan of this user</span> </span> <span class="commenter" style="color:#337062;">97 fans</span> <a href="?show_comment_id=26910716#comment_26910716" class="sm-link">permalink</a> </div> <div class="comments-body" id="cmt_txt_wrap_26910716"> <div class="comments-body-picture"> <a href="/users/profile/Cambridge9"><img class="unloaded-image" border="0" width="45" height="45" alt="photo" src="/images/trans.gif" longdesc="http://images.huffingtonpost.com/profiles/297871.png?20090622091348"/></a> </div> <p>Sorry, but from my first quick glance at the picture I thought it was C.h.e.n.e.<wbr/>y.
