But you would be wrong.
Recall that the Obama administration took the side of Hugo Chavez's ally, former president Manuel Zelaya, after the Honduran Supreme Court ordered the military to arrest Zelaya for violating the Honduras constitution.
Chavez claimed this was a coup, which became the Obama administration's position, despite the fact that Zelaya was arrested according to Honduran law. In fact, the Law Library of Congress, an American institution, reviewed the situation and agreed that Zelaya was removed from office in accordance with the Honduran constitution.
Now we learn from the Wall Street Journal that two Democratic Congressional aides, Fulton Armstrong who works for Senator John Kerry, and Peter Quilter who works for Congressman Howard Berman, recently attended a dinner organized by U.S. ambassador to Honduras Hugo Llorens with members of the Honduran cabinet.
The Wall Street Journal reports that Armstrong and Quilter told the cabinet members that in order to have good relations with the U.S., they should accept the Obama administration's position that Zelaya was removed by a coup and not by the rule of law.
America's policy to Honduras in the Zelaya matter has been one of the most outrageous acts in foreign policy history - siding with a dictator and his ally against the rule of law and the desire for freedom by Hondurans.
And to add insult to injury, the Democrats are literally trying to re-write history so they can save face politically - domestically to help them refute that they sided with a dictator and internationally so they can show how tough the Obama administration cab be.
Tragically, the Obama administration is being tough with allies like Honduras and Israel and soft on enemies like Iran and Venezuela. It is, and will prove to be, a disaster for America and her allies. This is what happens when a man becomes president with a leftist worldview.
