All you have to do is read the Honduran constitution and you will see
that what was done was not only legal but that the president seriously
violated it.

Obama was not silent, essentially or otherwise, during the Iranian
election fiasco. What he did not do was behave stupidly, as your heroes
Bush and Cheney would have done. Your repeating this right-wing, neocon
nonsense does not make it so.

Conservatives have a strong record of diplomacy over the past 8 years,
or should I say lack?

Why would you doubt their swashbuckling ways? *Didn't it work out well

Other than increasing funding to take on aids, I can't think of one
thing the Bush-Cheney Administration did properly. No wonder the
righties liked them so much.- Hide quoted text -

While I didn't care for the way Bush handled a lot of things, I can
prove Harry is full of **** on this one, too. Bush did many things
that I think were good things.
Passed legislation requiring states to conduct criminal background
checks on prospective foster and adoptive parents.
Increased small business incentives to expand and to hire new people.
Passed tough new laws to hold corporate criminals to account as a
result of corporate scandals.
Provided $20 million to states to help people with disabilities work
from home
Created a fund to encourage technologies that help the disabled.
Grant a complete tax exemption for prepaid or college tuition savings
plans.
Established a $2.4 billion fund to help states implement teacher
accountability systems.

So, he did do several good things.
