An old blog I made during the whole Honduran coup deal. I was a bit upset over our President's foreign policy decisions and his actions during that incident kinda snapped something in me so I wrote this up. enjoy.

Lets recap our oh so great President's current foreign policy highlights.
First he announces the closing of GITMO within a year without a clear plan on what to do with the detainees. As of this writing there still is no clear plan on what to do with them and we are less than 6 months away from the planned closing. A fabulous start.
Second, he goes to Europe and begs forgiveness for America being an arrogant nation. The European nations thank him for his apologies by refusing to take any GITMO detainees and making no new contributions to the war in Afghanistan.
Third he bows while meeting the Saudi King
Forth, he fails to drive a wedge in Iran's ruling class and to create doubt across the world on the legitimacy of the Iranian government. What did he fail to do? Oh, just to say he disapproved of the regime crack down that's all.
Fifth, he follows up the Iran whiff by supporting the wannabe dictator of Honduras after he is ousted. The dictator was ousted with the unanimous approval of the Honduran congress after President Zelaya openly made it his intention to violate the constitution and to make and illegal seizure of power. The ousting was bloodless, with an interim President taking the helm until the next round of elections can be held in November. Somehow President not so bright has objected to these moves despite the very democratic motivations behind them.
Folks, as I list these Obama has been President for only six months. I'm tired of amateur hour, we need to call for protests nationwide to let this man know that we are not going to sit back and accept this garbage anymore. 2010 is not close enough, fix it now or there will be a way found to impeach him and get him of the white house.
