When the Obama looked the other way

O'Grady: Honduras at the Tipping Point, Why is the U.S. not supporting the rule of law?

It is really not that hard to understand why the US is not supporting the rule of law. To be technically correct, it is the Obama not supporting the rule of law - can't blame this on the US. Then you have Jimmy Carter, a tawdry specimen of a human being, if ever there was one, involved in certifying Venezuela's election results that clearly had Chavez losing - until a last minute miracle occurred. Currently Carter holds the title of worst president in American history. He may lose that title to the Obama. Carter was given a Nobel Peace prize soley for criticizing Bush in public. There was a time when getting a Peace prize was an honor of prestige. Now it means nothing more than being a leftist, or a dictator lover or a terrorist. For the US to maintain any semblence of world prestige it has to continue to stand for freedom and democracy - Sadly the Obama is not up to the challenge.
