The Company He Keeps

“Next week the Obama Administration will allow Ahmadinejad, Castro, Chavez, Gaddafi and several other international thugs into New York City to speak in front of the United Nations General Assembly. However, one country’s president will not be allowed into the United States.

President Roberto Micheletti from Honduras will not be allowed to enter into America. The US has suspended the visa policy in Honduras.

For the first time in this country’s history, our leaders in government are siding with Marxists Hugo Chavez, Daniel Ortega, Raul Castro and Evo Morales against a democratic foreign leader.”

Before the Presidential election, we were told it’s wrong to judge candidate Obama by his radical friends and associates. Now President Obama chooses to recognize radical international leaders and reject democratic friends. Can we judge him now?

YOU CAN NOT JUDGE THE FIRST MULTI-RACIAL PRESIDENT [NOTICE I DIDN'T SAY BLACK]. THAT WOULD MAKE THEM ACCOUNTABLE!

The US did revoke his visa for the following reason
Temporary Suspension of Non-Immigrant Visa Services in Honduras

The OAS Foreign Ministers mission is in Honduras seeking support for the San Jose Accord, which would restore the democratic and constitutional order and resolve the political crisis in Honduras. In support of this mission and as a consequence of the de facto regime’s reluctance to sign the San Jose Accord, the U.S. Department of State is conducting a full review of our visa policy in Honduras. As part of that review, we are suspending non-emergency, non-immigrant visa services in the consular section of our embassy in Honduras, effective August 26. We firmly believe a negotiated solution is the appropriate way forward and the San Jose Accord is the best solution.

To suggest that we revoked his visa and invited these other third world bullies becasue we like them better or something is not only erroneous but total mis-information.

How do you explain Obama 's decision to cut off financial aid to Honduras and his refusal to chastise Zeleya for trying to usurp the Honduran Constitution? 1221?

He was trying to CHANGE the law, not "usurp the Honduran Constitution".

I agree with USA's decision to suspend aid and relations. We can't be seen as supporting military coups. (at least, not when we didn't plan them out :sarcasm:)

For all of their bad traits, Chavez, Ortega, Castro, and Morales are all leaders of their nation whether we like it or not. It's not a matter of Obama recognizing them. You dummies on the right think because you say "oh he's not a legitimate leader" that you are really stripping these guys of power? You would rather sit in the U.S. and talk trash about these guys instead of calling them out to their faces whether at the U.N. or at their door step.

Last I checked, the U.N. was an open forum for all nations, regardless of whether or not the U.S. likes them. You conserves need to realize that the world does not revolve around you. That talking to someone does not equate with being their friend. And that just because you scream and yell with your hands over your ears and say "I can't hear you", it doesn't mean that our enemies are going to stop talking and plotting on ways to take you out.

It was not a Military Coup,it was a legal move to defend the honduran Constitution from Zeleya changing the Constitutional law regarding term limits. It was the LEGAL, RIGHT thing to do. You are absolutely wrong. Honduras should be getting our unconditional support for adhering to their CONSTITUTION, and preventing a Chavez supported Zeleya from trying to destroy the Honduran CONSTITUTION and claim an ILLEGAL rule. WTF is wrong with you liberals? I guess you agree with the imprisonment of Michael Behenna too?

I don't explain it, that was not the point of the post. I simply stated that the origional post is misleading.For the record, President Obama stated that he thought the coup was illegal. Perhaps you would like to explain it.

Obama is judged by the company he keeps - the thugs and dictators that grasp power by coup or fraudulent elections.
He is judged too and condemed by his snubing of faithful allies and his traitorist apologies to America's enemies.
