So, our Prez has found somebody to whom he's willing to stand up and assert "American" interests. It's (drumroll please. . .) Honduras. Wow. Another ally gets the Blobama knee to the nuts. What a profile in courage. I wonder if Ahmedinijad has stopped laughing, yet?
Now, let's set aside whether this really is in America's best interests, brave or craven , bold or appeasing of those who oppose us, etc. Let's just consider this politicially for a second -- since that is where our guy and his team are really supposed to shine. If you're a Blobama supporter, are you really comfortable that your savior has just made himself 100% responsible for what happens in Honduras going forward? He and Hillary own that puppy outright -- whatever happens there will be charged to Blobama and his supporters.
If you're a Democrat, are you happy with that? Does that seem like a sharp play? Of all the potential outcomes (and in that part of the world, there are lots of those) only one or two of those are remotely positive, and both of them depend upon Zelaya behaving. So, our genius has basically bet his foreign policy authority on a Central American leader who would appear to have a fondness for dictatorial power. Compare that to just having letting the Hondurans work it out for themselves, just in terms of political price/benefit. Whatcha think?
No wonder Jimmy Carter loves this guy --- he's going to take his place at the bottom of the totem poll.
