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.
