That's Coup?

Drudge goes where I went yesterday with In Lock Step...

Obama lashes out at Honduras; sides with Chavez, Castro

President Obama said...

"We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the president of Honduras, the democratically elected president there."

And...

"It would be a terrible precedent if we start moving backwards into the era in which we are seeing military coups as a means of political transition, rather than democratic elections."

The facts...

The military acted on the orders of the Honduran Supreme Court, the action was backed by the nation's Attorney General and the new President was approved by the countries Congress.

This all came about because President Zelaya tried to force a constitutional rewrite.

FYI-- the cartoon that ran yesterday has been corrected to more accurately reflect those on the left and the scientific community is united in that fact.
