WSJ: Obama Opposes A "Democratic" "Coup" In Honduras Which Was "A Reaction To Chávez's Rule By The Mob" Tactics Employed By Honduras's President

The Wall Street Journal explains the shameful hypocrisy of Barack Obama when it writes that as far as "military 'coups' go, the one this weekend in Honduras was strangely, well, democratic. The military didn't oust President Manuel Zelaya on its own but instead followed an order of the Supreme Court. It also quickly turned power over to the president of the Honduran Congress, a man from the same party as Mr. Zelaya. The legislature and legal authorities all remain intact. We mention these not so small details because they are being overlooked as the world, including the U.S. President, denounces tiny Honduras in a way that it never has, say, Iran. President Obama is joining the U.N., Fidel Castro, Hugo Chávez and other model democrats in demanding that Mr. Zelaya be allowed to return from exile and restored to power. Maybe it's time to sort the real from the phony Latin American democrats."

The Wall Street Journal futher explains that "the events in Honduras also need to be understood in the context of Latin America's decade of chavismo."
