Paul Kiernan and David Luhnow: New Honduras Leader Faces Backlash From Coup. And here is a nice summary with commentary at the Washington Examiner, Morning Must Reads
While president Obama has reacted much faster to the situation in Honduras than he did to the one in Iran, his critics say it shows even worse judgment. Obama being slow to scold the mullahs of Tehran but quick to denounce the overthrow of a would-be strongman in Tegucigalpa. As Charles Krauthammer said on Fox News Special Report -- “when you’re on the same side as Hugo Chavez, you’ve got a problem.”
Yes, I would have to agree with Mr. Krauthammer - but it is "we" who have a problem. The Obama is behaving in a manner that makes him proud in the eyes of every third world dictator out there - Ahmadinejad, Castro, Chavez and even Mugabe over in Africa. It is behavior unbecoming someone who claims to believe in democracy.
