A questionable election in Iran leads to protests which are mostly peaceful on the part of the protesters and which are responded to with brutal oppressive violence by the government. President Obama’s response is… lukewarm, to say the least. He straddled the fence for days, saying that he supported the “debate” that was going on, before finally protesting the regime’s actions in the weakest terms possible (and even that was apparently only due to the amount of pressure he was getting).

Then, this weekend, the elected President of Honduras wanted that country’s Constitution rewritten so he could serve another term. The Honduran Congress declined to do so, so the President took matters into his own hands, despite multiple Supreme Court rulings that what he was doing was illegal. When the military removed him from office and instated the man who was Constitutionally his successor, President Obama, joined by famed human rights stawarts such as Fidel Castro and Hugo Chavez, denounced the “military coup.”

On second thought, I guess President Obama’s positions are consistent. He consistently sides with oppressive governments and dictators and, more importantly, against the will of The People. I don’t like it, but it’s not confusing.
