Free Election in Honduras - Against All O(bama)dds
Posted by: Jude The Presidential election is underway today in Honduras. Very little thanks to the Obama administration, which has treated our poor neighbor like a banana republic, ignoring the Honduran constitution - and virtually all of Honduras' governing bodies - while threatening to not recognize the results of today's election unless the criminal Chavez crony, "Mel" Zelaya were reinstated. Along the way, of course, we (Omerica) sanctioned the country and punished its people by cutting off aid while also trying to deligtimize the government by revoking travel visas, so that no representative of the current administration could appear at the UN. I've gone on about this before, but for now I'm glad our State Department has finally wrapped its collective head around some obvious truths after two months of supporting a would-be strongman in order to align more closely with Hugo Chavez and his acolytes in the region. We officially "support" the election process, which at this point may well be a surprise to democratic dissidents around the world. Of course, Obama also officially, wants Zalaya to be reinstated after the election for a brief term, but thankfully the Honduran Congress gets to decide that one....Maybe the big moment came when Zalaya told the press that he was being bombarded with some kind of alien technology by Israeli commando mercenaries, or something, while holed up in the Brazillian Embassy... maybe then Ian Kelly told Secretary Clinton that she had to break the news to President Obama that there just wasn't enough cover left for him to side with Chavez, Castro, Arias, Ortega (the latest Latin American leader trying to extend his term beyond constitutional limits), probably FARC, and Zalaya, and against representative constitutional democracy, rule of law, good old truth, the will of the people, and President Micheletti, who has been calmly tryng to shepherd his country though an election in which he himself was never a candidate. Or maybe the integrity and character of the Honduran people won the day, by never taking the bait laid all around them by Zelaya and Chavez toward more civil unrest. Here's to tomorrow in Honduras!
Update: the NYTimes gives the Obama administration a press release on the whole crisis. Also reports that Panama and Costa Rica are the only OAS members also pledged to recognize today's election.
Update II: Neither Barack Obama's election as the first African American President nor his premie Peace Prize are being cited by Hondurans in exit pols as to why they are excercising their right to vote...
