He also denied he had agreed to support the return of Manuel Zelaya in exchange for recognition of the elections.
Mr. Lobo was asked if it was true that he smiled before accepting a request from Shannon to support the return of Zelaya, and he replied, “No, it never happened … I cannot comment on something that never was … the reporter talked about me having a smile at the end, but if there was a ‘solo’ meeting, how in the hell can the journalist know that there was a smile at the end? “

They are very well aware of who he is, and of what kind of president he was, they voted him out the first time around because of all the evidence they had.
That evidence has not changed a bit, if anything it just got worse, or has anybody, be it in congress or outside of it, forgotten already his calling for Honduran blood in order for him to regain the presidency?
Come on people of Honduras, this is not the time to get weak at the knees, a couple more weeks and he will be history, if you let him in, then he will make history instead.
If the Honduran Congress is going to be fair and transparent about their decision to reinstate Zelaya or not, they should not be allowed to be manipulated by any foreign opinion. They should be aware of Zelaya as the kind of president he was and the reason he was deposed and therefore, the likelyhood that he will continue doing what Z’liar wants: to insttitute a satellite government for Hugo Chavez. Foreign governments have their own interests and agendas. Honduran own interests, its constituttion, and making sure of the continuity of Democracy cannot be marred by any manipulation that tries to interfere in Honduras best interests.
Good for you Pepe, and good for Honduras too for you are the man in whom we all want to place our trust to rescue Honduras.
I have lived in several places in the USA, and in many of them I met with Hondurans who were proud of you, in New Orleans I met with Abbi and was supossed to be at party at which you were but I could not make it, but I did hear of how you were interested in promoting the 19 electoral district and also of how you saw a possible use of the knowledge that Hondurans that live abroad can bring to the nation and maybe be a positive influence to our country’s future.
I hapen to agree with that view.
I believe that the level of corruption in Honduras derives very much from that lack of awareness as to what really hapens in countries where things work, where the bridges are in good condition, the roads properly paved, the schools in good shape.
So I say to you, it makes me feel much better that I do not have to worry about placing my hopes in the right candidate.
The fact that you have made very that you do not support that animal, Zelaya, makes me, and I am very sure, many more Hondurans feel much better and sleep with much more ease.
Reporters are known for twisting the truth in order to make sound like what they believe it should be, so no surprises there.
Stick to the game plan, do not give him an inch, and with the influence you have, please make sure that the Congress does not loose sight of is at stake here.
Roberto Micheletti has paid the price of the loss of a nephew and great grief come to his brother’s family. Hopefully Pepe Lobo and the other congressmen will not allow themsevles to be bought off by Chavez petrodollars to vote to reinstate the criminal and thief Zelaya.
