Obama's Double Standard: Enemies Before Allies
Within hours after Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was ejected from his country, President Obama forcefully declared support for the Leftist Dictator -- friend of Chavez and Castro. Obama justified his stance by declaring that the rule of law must reign supreme and that democracy must be upheld.
Besides
deliberately mis-characterizing the nature of what went on in Honduras (in fact the military acted to defend the country from the designs of an autocrat) it is striking that Obama is quick to come to the defense of a would be tin-horned dictator but is hesitant and sometimes outright hostile in supporting democratic forces in Iran. In fact, the Obama Administration is still seeking to negotiate a deal with Ahmadinejad and the Ayatollah who are using all the powers of the Islamic Republic to violently repress the peaceful protests against a rigged election.
While Obama has refrained from taking international action against Iran it actively supported the United Nation's General Assembly support for Manuel Zelaya. Obama clearly does not care that Zelaya was disposed because (like his friend Chavez) he had broken the laws of Honduras as he strove toward undermining the country's constitutional system.
Unlike the Iranian regime, the new regime in Honduras is committed to holding new elections
this year. But even this has not stopped Obama from joining the international mob of anti-American states in condemning the new government. (And Obama has some help from his
media friends.)
Of course, anyone following Obama's policies toward Israel will not be surprised by this course of events. Obama has shown no respect for Israel's government as he has demanded that Israel adopt his policies on Jerusalem, settlements, etc. At the same time, he refuses to disagree with the dictatorial regime in Iran.
With every passing day, with every passing domestic policy announcement, and with every passing international incident, the absolute unscrupulousness of the Barack Obama administration is becoming evident. Obama betrays close allies while bloodthirsty anti American dictators are praised and cossetted, Obama packs presidential press conferences with Obama supporters with their questions vetted in advance, Obama has his supporters in the Congress and Senate cut off serious in depth debate and pass expensive and entitlement bloated bills in the dead of night, and Obama who campaigned on openness and change simply ignores or belittles anyone who points out how inconsistent his Presidential behavior is when he violates every campaign promise and platform he and his party espoused. Obama is the perfect Left wing piece of work, and when he is done, if he isn't stopped, America will be an economic and social wreck.
