Miami Herald reporter slams Obama/Clinton hypocrisy on Honduras

While many consider the Honduran upheaval to be a minor story, it is in fact a major look into the hypocrisy of the Obama Administration.  Now, at least one reporter working for a pop journalism outlet is calling him on it.

Glen Garvin noted that while Obama and Clinton called on Honduras to observe the rule of law and return ousted president Zelaya to power, that the problems would not have occured had Zelaya observed the rule of law.  The fact that Obama and Clinton failed to act to encourage Zelaya to stop commiting crimes, and violating the Honduran constitution, the Honduran government would not have had to take the action to oust Zelaya.

Garvin was smart enough not to call out Obama directly.  Instead he focused on Hillary.  Here is part of the Garvin op/ed

Warning that he’s already put his military on alert, Chávez on Monday flat-out threatened war against Honduras if Roberto Micheletti, named by the country’s congress as interim president until elections in November, takes office.

”If they swear him in we’ll overthrow him,” Chávez blustered. “Mark my words. Thugetti — as I’m going to refer to him from now on — you better pack your bags, because you’re either going to jail or you’re going into exile.”

Hey, Hillary: What does the Inter-American charter say about that?

Garvin had previously noted that Clinton had invoked he Inter-American charter in calling for the new Honduran government to reverse the ouster of Zelaya.  We hope that the Hondurans hold their ground.  It would be a major setback to the worst president in U.S. history.
