Obama and DeMint locked in proxy fight over Hugo Chavez

Full story: thehill.com

The Obama administration and Sen. Jim DeMint are squaring off in a foreign policy dispute that has stymied the nominations of two senior diplomatic officials. Foreign policy experts see the standoff as a proxy fight between conservative Republicans and the Obama administration on how to deal with Hugo Chavez, Venezuela’s socialist president.

The right wing Jim DeMint supported the military coup in Honduras, but it was condemned by the majority of the world leaders, as well as the United Nations General Assembly.

The cowboy diplomacy mindset has once again reared its ugly head, thanks to the petulant actions of Senator DeMint.

President Obama and ABC News' George Stephanopoulos got in a testy sparring match Sunday over whether the president's health care plan includes a tax increase, leading the host to look up the Merriam-Webster dictionary definition of taxes.

In the interview airing Sunday, Stephanopoulos pressed the president on his plan to require people to purchase health insurance.

"Under this mandate, the government is forcing people to spend money, fining you if you don't. How is that not a tax?" the host asked.

Obama responded: " No, but -- but, George, you -- you can't just make up that language and decide that that's called a tax increase."

Stephanopoulos then offered the dictionary definition.

"I don't think I'm making it up. Merriam-Webster's dictionary:'Tax, a charge, usually of money, imposed by authority on persons or property for public purposes,'" he said.

another liberal that wants to spar on words meaning...wow are liberals consistant.....Depends on what the meaning of is...."is".

What coup?

The Supreme Court ordered the military to show Zeyala the door.

Obama is meddling in the internal affairs of the country and trying to force the Hondourans to do something they don't want to do.

So, by your agrument, if the US Supreme Court had ruled that Bush/Cheney had broken the Constitution and ordered them removed, then if the United Nations and a majority of "world leaders" disagreed, the US Supreme Court's ruling would have to be overturned...and Bush/Cheney restored to power?

Of course the 'facts' you offer can be discredited, because they aren't true. The Supreme Court of Honduras ordered Zeleya removed, NOT the military. The military was tasked with the removing.

Zeleya was not replaced with a military officer,(like Hugo Chavez), but with the constitutionally mandated line of succession. Michalletti will be in power until new elections can be organized.

All of this is authorized by the Honduran constitution. What Obama is doing is the same thing liberals criticized Bush for doing.

Meddling.

Your version is conservative spin; not accepted by most the rest of the world. The UN General Assembly would not be involved in a proper transfer of power. What you call "meddling" is the intervention of the rest of the world, not just the Obama Administration.

This would unfold as it is even if President Bush was still in office; the only difference is almost certainly, nobody would count on the US to help resolve the conflict.

President Obama said on Univision he would not allow his health plan to cover illegal aliens, but would not see a problem of illegals being able to BUY their health care from independent sources. The President saying in a public forum that he condones illegal activity and benefits to those breaking our laws. No wonder he condoned ACORN as well. Well the Obama marathon and telethon from yesterday did not move opinion unless you count backward a direction……..Michele will be the spokesperson soon, just like Hillary…same story different face, same results.

United nations declares Castro World hero

9/07/2009
By Competitive Enterprise Institute

The UN has declared Fidel Castro, the longtime Communist dictator of Cuba, the “World Hero of Solidarity.” Castro killed thousands and thousands of people during his rule, torturing some to death (including a few American citizens), and Cuba remains an oppressive dictatorship even today.

The award was presented to Castro by the President of the UN General Assembly, Miguel D’Escoto Brockmann. D’Escoto Brockmann also successfully lobbied the Obama Administration to demand that Honduras allow the return to power of its ex-president and would-be dictator, Manuel Zelaya.(Two months ago, soldiers acting on orders of Honduras’s Supreme Court arrested Zelaya after he systematically abused his powers.

After the Court quite legally declared that Zelaya was no longer president, he was duly replaced by Honduras’s Congress with a civilian, the Congressional Speaker). The Obama Administration recently decided to impose sanctions on Honduras, and indicated it will not recognize future democratic elections in Honduras unless Honduras first lets ex-president Zelaya return to power.

Congresswoman Diane Watson (D-CA) recently praised Fidel Castro as a genius who “kicked out the wealthy” from Cuba.

Many officials in the Obama Administration are sympathetic to Marxist regimes. For example, Obama’s appointee to be the FCC’s “diversity officer” is Mark Lloyd, a big fan of Venezuela’s socialist dictator, Hugo Chavez. Although Chavez has shot unarmed demonstrators, Lloyd has called socialist Venezuela a model, praised its authoritarian leader’s “incredible revolution” and defended his attacks on independent media. Obama’s nominee to be Assistant Secretary of State, Arturo Valenzuela, has a reputation as a loud defender of Venezuelan dictator Chavez’s terrible record on freedom of the press.

Whatever, poop. The facts are on the side of the Michaletti government, notwithstanding what the rest of the world thinks. Hondurans aren't beholden to the rest of the world, but to thier own constitution.
