Marxism Obama Style?
Back in June, Honduras arrested and deported their president because he was attempting to change the constitution in order to run for another term, which is currently illegal. Here is a quote from the link posted below:
The Supreme Court said it was supporting the military in what it called a defense of democracy.
Zelaya was arrested shortly before polls were to open in a referendum on whether to change the constitution. The Supreme Court ruled the referendum illegal and everyone from Congress to members of his own party opposed it. Critics said Zelaya wanted to remove limits to his re-election.

Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had this to say:
….. the action taken by Zelaya “should be condemned by all.”
And Obama made this statement:
“I call on all political and social actors in Honduras to respect democratic norms, the rule of law and the tenets of the Inter-American Democratic Charter. Any existing tensions and disputes must be resolved peacefully through dialogue free from any outside interference”

Then, in July, Secretary of State Hillary Clinton had this to say:
Secretary of State Hillary Clinton on Friday described ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya’s attempts to return to his country as “reckless,” as Zelaya defied the threat of arrest.

Now, you would think that the Obama administration was not in favor of Honduras’ Constitution being changed without the popular consent of the Supreme Court and their citizens, right? Well, here is the most up to date story revealing this administration’s true position, taking the side of a known Marxist in the vein of Castro and Chavez, and going against his own words to insure that “any existing tensions and disputes must be resolved peacefully through dialogue free from any outside interference“:

The Obama administration is using its economic “muscle” to impose financial instability to a country that, apparently, is attempting to handle someone who is desirous to place himself above the law.
U.S. State Department spokesman Ian Kelly announced the decision to cut more than $31 million in non-humanitarian assistance on Thursday.
It is no secret that Zelaya, Castro, Chavez and Ortega are all cut from the same cloth. That considered, the question needs to be asked: since Chavez welcomes withholding this financial support, and he recently did what Zelaya was attempting to do (that is to become president for life), is this further evidence that Obama is also cut from that same cloth?
Here is an article that just may put it all into perspective:
