Where is the frenzied media coverage of this? Obama, and the Clinton led State Dept. are letting the people down again, and giving real democracy-in-action the cold shoulder. In fact, our U.S. State Dept.,[ Rice--Clinton] has become somewhat of an embarrasment for the majority of Americans in this country. Bloomberg reports: These thousands of people in the photo at left are all out in support of the new Honduran government.
"The U.S. State Department called for the restoration of “democratic order” in Honduras, and for Zelaya’s reinstatement. " [They have it backwards] ["Democratic order was restored when the Honduran courts and military acted to prevent Zelaya from following in the footsteps of Hugo Chavez.] [Violating the law with respect to an unlawful referendem, with the notion of further violating the law by tampering with their nation's Constitution.] “We deplore the use of force against demonstrators” in the country’s capital of Tegucigalpa, State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said at a news conference today in Washington. " [That is absolutely pathetic on the part of State Dept.'s spokesman Kelly. He's diliberately making an "equivilence / comparison" with how the Iranian Islamist thug regime in Iran has been beating down and repressing it's own people. ]
The State Dept. could not have things more bass backwards.
In Iran, millions upon millions of pro-democracy protestors took to the streets to challenge the results of what was most surely a stolen election. There, the people of Iran were protesting the corrupt dictatorial Islamic tyranny of the Iranian regime. People like this young lady in photo below:

An Iranian regime that wanted to ensure that it's anti-semite, anti-America, anti-everything decent Ahmadinejad remained president even by fraudulent means.
For weeks while millions of Iranian people went out into the streets risking their very lives to protest a stolen election, holding up signs in "English" that read "where's my vote", obviously an appeal for help from the english speaking West, where was Obama?
For weeks Obama was reluctant to make any strong statements of support for the Iranian people. Only after the Mullahs released their Revolutionary Guards thugs on the people and the blood carnage of the Islamic regime could no longer be ignored, did Obama make any strong statement condemming the violence against the people.
In contrast, when the people of Honduras exude full support for their new "democratic" government, what does Obama do?
He fails to do the right thing in supporting the government the people want, and instead demands that Hugo's buddy be reinstated.
In Honduras, the vast majority of the people are in "full support" of the actions of their new interim president. Like Iran, "the people" understand what is really happening.
