Rep. Brian Bilbray (R-Calif.) told The Hill that a presidential candidate from ousted President Manuel Zelaya’s own Liberal Party gave the visiting congressmen the proposal, which Bilbray is going to ask the Obama administration to accept. Under the offer, interim President Roberto Micheletti would voluntarily step down and leadership of the country would go to constitutional succession. However, if Zelaya returned to face charges and was then acquitted, he could return to office.
“The majority of folks think Zelaya should come back to the country, but to stand trial,” Rep. Connie Mack (R-Fla.) said.
Mack told The Hill that he found Hondurans to be in “disbelief” at the Obama administration’s reaction to the ouster of Zelaya.
“Whether or not [Hondurans] agree on how he was removed all of them agree that he broke the constitution, broke the law,” Mack said. “A large majority believe he should not return to Honduras and to power.”
Bilbray said the U.S. can’t put itself in a position of supporting a president over a country’s constitution and the rule of law. “That’s a scary place for us to find ourselves, especially considering our history,” he said.
“For the [Obama] administration to propose the return of the old president and to put him back into power would really be a slap in the face to constitutional rule,” Bilbray said, adding that he believed the administration “jumped the gun” on its assessment of the Honduras crisis.
“I think [Hondurans] were absolutely shocked at the American response.”
The congressmen’s visit came as Zelaya was camped at the Nicaraguan border, a move that Mack called incitement and even Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton, who has voiced the administration’s opinion that Zelaya be returned to power, called “reckless.”
The administration confirmed Monday that it wants Zelaya reinstated while not committing to tighter sanctions beyond cutting military aid. “Our policy remains the same, that we want the restoration of democratic order and that includes the return by mutual agreement of the democratically elected president, and that’s President Zelaya,” State Department spokesman Ian Kelly said.
Mack and Bilbray both said that they saw calm in the streets on their visit, which included meetings with Micheletti, the Honduran supreme court, members of the Central American nation’s congress, human-rights groups and Honduran business leaders.
The American delegation also met with presidential candidates who will run for Zelaya’s seat as scheduled in November.
“Everybody — his friends, members of his own party, the congress, the supreme court, the attorney general — everybody was telling [Zelaya] what he was doing was illegal and unconstitutional,” Mack said.
“His position as an operating head of state wasn’t really a questionable issue” among the Hondurans with whom they met, Bilbray said in regard to Zelaya’s ouster a month ago.
“If there was a mistake made there, it was not that the army removed him,” Bilbray said. “Instead of taking him and putting him in prison the army took him to the border.”
Mack said he encountered Hondurans who take umbrage at the word “coup” being used to describe the automatic removal by the supreme court triggered by the president’s actions.
“The Organization of American States, State Department and Obama administration got it wrong,” Mack said. “We’re siding with the OAS and Chavez and Castro and that group over an ally.”
Mack said Zelaya “is playing a game here and Hugo Chavez is pulling the strings.” The Venezuelan leader has accused U.S. agencies including the State Department of having a hand in the overthrow, but has stopped short of directly accusing President Obama.
“The pattern that was being set by Zelaya was following Chavez’s pattern of pushing the constitutional limits and pushing for life terms as president,” Bilbray said. The referendum Zelaya was pushing, an effort deemed illegal by the country’s highest court, would have extended presidential term limits much like a constitutional referendum Chavez put forth twice to extend his time in office.
“Chavez’s goal is to test and prod and push anywhere and everywhere he can,” Mack said. “His goal is to get his friends and allies into leadership positions in these countries and destabilize Latin America. He really doesn’t care about the people of Latin America; what he cares about is power.
“The people of Honduras should be congratulated and held up for what they have done,” Mack said of the Zelaya ouster. “The State Department appears to be standing with the likes of Hugo Chavez and not on the side of freedom and democracy.”
Bilbray says it’s not a matter of right or left, but a matter of practicing what the U.S. preaches — particularly in Latin America, where the U.S. has encouraged the rule of law over the cult of personality.
“We do not create long-term damage to the concept of constitutional limitation,” he said. “We don’t want to send the signal to other countries that constitutional oversight isn’t important.

You are welcome for the link. Now post it in two other places, and we will be even.

Abe and Meg, I can’t believe you are this naive. So it must be something more sinister. Any democracy loving person could never take what is happening in Honduras and make it into what you claim. My wife of eleven years is from Honduras. We go there often and have built a home their. We have many friends and relatives there and plan to retire there soon. We’re in constant communication with them and they say that most everyone they talk to thinks the US and others have lost it. Go Honduras!!! Hopefully the American people will take something away from this and just maybe the good old USA will go back to being just that.
Abe and Chavez, do you even know what a guerilla fighter is? It is Che and the Castros who terrorized peasents into supporting them or being killed as traiters.
Nothing here has been done in secret.
It is realy quite sad that you and Meg cannot see the damage that zelaya and chavez are doing to the freedom of everybody in the region. It is undeniable if you only allow yourself to look at the facts. I am greedy, greedy for the right to live free with self determination, and I hate anyone who wants to take that away from me or people I love. Abe, Bush and Dick are gone, this is about mel zelair and hugo now.
Meg, yes there are a bunch of sickening folks here. Their greed and hatred, plus their contempt for democracy, human rights, and the poor seem to blind them. They’re probably good people, but they have been brainwashed. They probably love George Bush & Dick Cheney too. Zelaya has said that he will fire those who have supported the guerilla coupistas. Here’s a good web site for those who love truth, justice & democracy:
http://narconews.com/
I am proud of Hondurans and their will and strength to protect their constitution from Zelaya and his mentor Chavez. Keep it up and do not give up even though several of the international communities are turning their backs and choose not to find out the truth. The truth will set you free! President Obama needs to inform himself before he condemns Honduras and gives orders to reinstate Zelaya. I question whether he, Obama, supports Zelaya because he approves leftist views or he is ignorant or worse, naive. I believe that Chavez interest, other than power, is his big business of narcotrafficking, and it happens that Honduras is strategically located in the middle of North and south America, the Panamerican highway goes right through Honduras and it also has two ports and two oceans. I don’t think he is investing his millions supporting Zelaya out of kindness. Can you , Obama and the rest of the international communities, see that?
HONDURAS KEEP FIGHTING FOR DEMOCRACY…WE ARE PROUD OF YOU!!!
This whole epizode has been extremely encourageing. The media should recognize this as a great teachable moment. We need more Americans to expose the truth, as there two Congressmen. We need the conservative media to emphasize this great victory for Honduras. Obama has been exposed, the truth shall set us free. We need to contact our elected representatives and encourage strong ties at every level with Honduras.
For those of us who live in Honduras there is a easy solution. Zelaya returns and is put on trial before a international tribunal that has full knowledge of the Honduran constitution. If found innocent of all charges he is returned to power. If found guilty he goes to prison.. How can the USA – OAS – UN argue with that? Is this not what democracy is about?
Washington a Key ‘Villain’ in Crisis Facing Honduras La Prensa, Honduras.htm
http://worldmeets.us/laprensahn000002.shtml
I hope the US government will see this reality through the eyes of these congressmen. The Honduran government should be praised, never condemned, for standing for democracy and against the foreign intervention of the Castro-Communists of Latin America, and even against the Hillarys and Obamas of our own country. Shame on the whole world!!! God bless the people of Honduras!
People we are repeating our self what really happened 50 years ago with Cuba, I just to belive Hillary Clinton was going be a good president, today not just my self but 95% of the latin people all over our country have a big desapoinment regarding Her and Obama.
Let not be bliend, actual we have a govermeent who support the democracy and not one more sstep for Castro, Chavez and they group to dominated the south and center america.
Do we going to have another 50 years of Chaves in power, are we supporting? Are we going to support Hunduras, Colombia and others to eliminate the comunist in this countries.
Let to pray to the Lord for this not happened again. Hillary was the Democrata who support Castro domination in Cuba, Are we willing to acept Venezuelan, Hunduras, Nicaraguan, Cuban in our country, because we are not supporting a Democrat goverment, what kine of Flag we are telling them. People open the eyes.
Hugo Cahvez a savior, are you kidding?
Read this article of his persecution of oponents. Not the rick, but working class people.
http://www.msnbc.msn.com/id/32207330/
He is dangerous, and Honduras will face the same fate if it is not protected.
Fight the lies of Zelaya and Hugo.
Keep Honduras Free
Dear Abe,
Obviously you do not live in Honduras. I wish what you believe were true. The problem here is Mel says he is for the poor people, but he is using them to stay in power and live his plush lifestyle.
It would be nice if taking from the rich to give to the poor actually worked here, but he takes from the rich and gives to himself. The minimum wage increase cost him nothing, but got him votes. So, if he were to get money from the rich, would he give it to the poor? He has proven time and again, no. He has already stolen government money meant for the poor and spent it on himself.
What leader spends $3,000,000 (yes, that is DOLLARS) on statues (click my name above to see the actual statues he had made) when it could go to pay the government workers (police included) who have not been paid in three months? Or feed the starving? Zelaya, that’s who.
Hedwig – thanks for that link, I see the cry of my people and I couldn’t hold my tears through the entire clips. This is absolutly what we want for Honduras! I also belieave its not about being democrat or republican but its about loving your country and your roots and conecting your heart with heaven to let God reign over our nations, but communists leaders only think of building kingsdoms for themself like Babylon!!! We also need to pray for USA because Obama’s lack of experience and jumpling to conclusions before digging for info place his actions in total disbelieve! I’m glad I didn’t vote for him, yet I pray for him so that his positon of authority over this nation doesnt’ overpower him and lose grownd! I love this nation but honestly I believe the mayority of US people voted to make history instead of making realistic desitions, I really hope I’m wrong on this one! but there’s something about Pres Obama that doesn’t click!!!
Abe –
You’re wrong. Get over it. Freedom is always more important that living under tyranny. Many people have died in the struggle to be free, and many are dying today. Reforms and government support is always necessary to help those in need get on their feet so they can work, but it is counter productive if it takes away choice, freedom of speech, freedom to question and challenge your government. Hugo Chavez is not helping his people, and he is ruthelessly opressing anyone who challenges him, as the Castro brothers have done for years.
Yes there are some poor people who support these liars hugo and mel, but there are twice as many who see through it, and they want them stopped.
I hope that the interim government can stay strong and resolute through this fight, but it is a small country that is easily bullied, especially if the USA leaders who I erroneously voted for decide to cut off Honduras completely, which will be a crime against humanity for which many of us will push for Obama’s impeachment (a process not available in Honduras).
My Honduran bretheran and the Honduran government, please stay strong. Eventually the world will realize their mistake in judging you without the facts or in malace (Chavez).
Keep Honduras Free
Abe are you Honduran? or Venezuelan? If not the you really understand nothing. Keep out of my contry’s business. We have followed the law
PLEASE VOICE YOUR SUPPORT THE REPORT OF REP. MACK AND BILBRAY TO THE US HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES COMMITTEE ON FOREIGN AFFAIRS!
http://www.foreignaffairs.house.gov/contact.asp
With respect for those who disagree with my views:
To about 60% of the Venezuelan people who have historically been kept in poverty, Hugo Chavez is like Jesus – a great savior who is helping to lift them up and letting them get involved in the decision making process, formerly monopolized by the rich. To the richest 30% of the Venezuelans who live in luxury or relative luxury, Chavez is the devil.
There is nothing UNDEMOCRATIC if 60% of the people vote to increase the minimum wage, and to double the taxes on the millionaires who have kept them down. Love it or leave it.
Shame on you people who hate President Zelaya & Chavez. Some day you will understand and regret your behavior. I know you feel that you are right, but you have lost touch with your hearts. You are fighting battle that can’t be won. Humanity is moving forward, not backwords. We are all brothers, and there is plenty for everyone to have plenty, but nobody needs to have hundreds of millions in the bank while their workers are paid barely enough money to pay for their basic necessities.
One minor correction. The United States has gotten it from well before it began. It’s our morons in government that took so long to get it.
My bride is Honduran we have properties in Tegus & El Pino. Viva Honduras! Mucho Gusto mi omego’s!

I am from Honduras. I’m really ashamed of what Obama and Hilary are doing. I don’t think they know what is really happening over there. Zelaya is taking the whole country to the left, buying the poor people, like Chavez is doing in Venezuela. If thats what Obama wants for Honduras, I’ll never vote for him again. I hope that most people see the real truth and not when its too late for the Hondurans.
I am stuned that my goverment can not see Hugo behind this. All they have to do is come to honduras and see who the people want to lead them.
Hello Meg W, That what you said is only truth in a democratic enviroment, wich is exactly what Mr. Zelaya was set to abolish.
A bad democracy will always be better than the best Tirany.
The reality that it is hapening in honduras. Is that a president put himself above the law, and his fall hurts.
Lynn and River, I am an American yet my roots came through slavery. Oh, I am caucasin. If you believe other countries use elections to remove people, come with me to almost any country around this globe. Have you been out of the US except to go on a vacation? I have. In Kenya the law is so bad, honest people handle lawbreakers themselves. In Ecuador, the elderly are starving while the gov’t. hosts other presidents. I wish everyone cared about others and respected them, but, WAKE UP, this is not true. If we look the other way now, don’t be surprised when you see Chevez knocking at your door.
Go Honduras. You are us in 1773-1776.
Meg W.
You are being deceived.
Watch this if you want to see what the Honduran people want:
http://www.youtube.com/supporthonduras
You will see huge crowds—tens of thousands—dressed in white and blue saying peacefully that they want Peace and Law. They do not want Zelaya.
You will also see some Zelaya supporters throwing rocks and burning fires.

Thank God! I hope this is the beginning of a full understanding in the rest of the free world of how right and brave the people of Honduras have been in defense of our democracy.
Meg –
If anyone is choosing onlyu to see what they want tro see, it is you. This is not a struggle between rich and poor, no matter how much Zelaya and Chavez try to paint it that way to make people think they are fighting for the under dog. They are not, they are fighting only for themselves. As for how a democratic society works, when a persident clearly ignors the rule of law, when he forms mobs and threatens people, he is a loose cannon and must be stopped. This is how a republic functions, with checks and balances. Just because he is a democratically elected president does not mean that he is above the law and un touchable. The order for his arrest was legal and just. To reinstate this man would be a sever blow to the constitution and the foundation of the law in Honduras. Democracy without checks and balances will lead to dictators. Thomas Jefferson, one of the founding fathers of the USA and the author of one of the most undeniably brilliant documents of all time, The Declaration of Independance, new this. I encourage you to poor over his quotes and you will see why a republic is needed to defend the rights of the monority and to prevent those in power from getting too powerful through the separation of powers (something that no longer exists in Venezuela, Biolivia, Ecuador).
Meg, I have lived and worked in honduras for over 14 years, I know that there are many poor people that are not fooled by what Zelaya is doing. The Honduras government is terribly corrupt, but allowing Zelaya to deminish the power of the constitution, to reinstate him and destroy the mechanism of checks and balances, will not improve or illiminate the corruption. It will just lead to the removal of civil liberties and peoples rights. Once again, you only have to look to Venezuela to the south. There are unsubstanciated acusations of abuse of civil liberties in Hodnuras over the past month, but there are volumes of documented abuses of civil liberties and abuse of power in Venezuela. That is what will happen in Honduras under Zelaya, and it is undeniable.
As for Obama. I voted for him because I thought he would be good change from the resutls of George Bushe’s disaterous foreign policy. However, many like me are angry because he is only making things worse. To be honest, I want my vote back. The republicans also do not have to find ways to make Obama look bad, they just have to let him open his mouth and he will make himself look bad.
To those that have truly looked into the issue in Honduras, who have spoken to average people, which includes the poor, and who understand the danger of undermining the checks and balances of a republic, we understand that the warrent for Zelaya’s arrest was proper, and that reinstating him as president would be against the Honduran rule of law and not in the intrest of anyone in the country. The only action in contention was talking him out of the country, but the Honduran government has acknowleged this and provided an explination.
At this point, the onlyu resonable course of action is for the USA to offer its full support of the interim government and help them move to fair and transparent elections in November.
Free Honduras – Keep Zelaya OUT
It’s not that Obama doesn’t understand what’s going on in Honduras. Obama is a Leftist. He’s trying to take the US down the same path as his buddy in Venezuela. He’s already taken over much of the banking and automobile industries in the U.S.. Now he trying to take over the Health Care industry. He claims he’s doing it for the people, but he’s really doing to amass more power. Since it appears to me that the U.S. Constitution doesn’t mean much to the Obama administration, I’m sure he doesn’t care about the Honduran Constitution.
I pray for the good people of Honduras. Continue to stand for law and order. May your country grow in true democracy. Many of us in the U.S. are watching. You are showing a good example to us that we need to follow.
You people make me sick!
You have no idea what are you talking about.
To beging with, a democratic society do not do what the bunch of rich people from the court, the congress and the army leader did. In the 21st century, you remove people with elections not by force.
Second, republicans will always find ways to make Obama look bad. They are a bunch of arrogant ignorants that can not accept that they mess up the country and it bother them that a black president have to fix their mess.
About Honduras, I am sorprise that the USA has not act fast enough to reinsted president Zelaya. The republicans did not meet with the people, the one’s that every body forgot and Zelaya help, they met with the rich people, the one’s who do not want Zelaya in power in the first plase. Lets be open minded and see thing for what they are, not what we want to see, but the reality that it is hapening in honduras.
Thank you Mack and Bilbray for seeing and speaking the truth. It is clear Obama has no respect for our constitution, but how dare he not stand with the Hondurans against a man that is trampling their constitution. We Americans wanted Hondurans to know we stand with them in respecting their constitution, and their freedom from dictators.
Imagine what a gold mine of rhetoric and political ammo Chavez would have if the US were to openly endorse the Michelleti led government.
Although I’m not an Obama supporter, I think that the administration is handling the situation in best possible way – don’t give Chavez anything to exploit. He is foaming at the mouth just waiting. He already blames America for all of the world’s problems, and in turn this helps polarize his support base against the only real threat to his leftist agenda. Let’s not hand this to him on a silver platter. It is unfortunate that the socio-economic base of Honduras is attracted to the empty promises of Zelaya (Chavez). So this is a waiting game…. The sanctions and withholding of funds will not be truly felt in Honduras for several months, and that will primarily affect the government’s ability to function. By then, a new democratically elected president will be chosen by the people. This will completely nullify the current situation and allow business as usual.
The real threat to Honduras is a trade embargo which would be immediately felt and would severely hurt all of the people (and the US). If the US implements anything along those lines, then we will have something to protest and be dismayed about. The financial withholdings, the visa revocations, call for Mel’s reinstatement, etc., are just petty gestures that keep Zelaya and his followers complacent and Chavez off balance. Can October get here any faster?
I JUST CANT BELIVE I IM %100 HONDURAS LIVING IN THE US ,AND WE HAVE OUR ARMY IN IRAK FIGHTING FOR A FREE COUNTRY BUT IN MY OWN COUNTRY WERE THERE ARE ALOT OF PEOPLE THAT WILL STAND FOR WHAT IS RIGHT AND MAKE SHURE THAT OUR CONSTITUTION AND FREEDOM IS THERE , WE HAVE THE US TALKING ABOUT WHAT WE DID IS WRONG OBAMA DOES NOT LIVE IN HONDURAS TO KNOW HOW MISSARABLE OUR COUNTRY HAS BEEN AND DICTATORS LIKE ZELAYA/CHAVEZ/CASTRO/ORTEGA SHOULD BE IN JAIL OR WORST I HOPE THAT THE WORLD SEES THAT A LITTLE COUNTRY LIKE HONDURAS ,WE WILL NOT BE AFRAID OF ANYONE OR ANYBODY THAT WE WILL PUT OUR FOOT DOWN AND WE WILL LET EVERYBODY KNOW THAT WE ARE CATRACHOS !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! VIVA HONDURAS !
I’m Honduran but reside in Miami and was very disappointed to see Pres. Obama and other country leaders reactions towards the situation in Honduras, it’s well said that a Judge can’t tell a verdict before listening to both parties so why did Pres. Obama jumped to conclusions and restrictions before knowing the truth behind the scenes! Honduran Gov has many proofs that identifies Ex-president Zelaya as a corrupt who was cleaning his hands with the needy people, in fact the popular vote toward the referendum he was implementing for his own kingdom was just a copy of Chavez’s blueprint. I’m glad that US leaders are opening their eyes and I hope that Pres Obama does too, otherwise there would be much to say about the way his handling things!
This is no democracy this is a mobcracy of criminals defending criminals. The Obama administration have purposedly taken sides with error and refuse to reason. They sould replace the US embassador in honduras who is not one bit diplomatic concening the crisis at hand. Cannot they see that Honduras in on our side and that we need to safegard it against left extremists that only want to destablilize the region with the intent to everthow the freedom and constitutional governments of the land.
Finally, the US government has seen the light. Is isolationism still a trend in US foreign affairs? We know the DEA, the US Army, the US Embassy are all present and accounted for in Honduras for various reasons and yet no one seemed to know that the democratic process was alive and well in Honduras. Bush was from Texas but he didn’t “shoot from the hip”. Mr President [Barack Obama], listen to the wisdom of your elders. You don’t seem to know what is going on in international politics [in Honduras] and when to stay out of local issues [Cambridge, Mass].
LET GOD BE GOD!!!!!!!!!!
MAY GOD BLESS ALL MEN AND WOMEN STANDING FOR WHAT’S RIGHT, THE TRUTH SHALL SET THEM FREE………….
GOD BLESS MY BEAUTIFUL COUNTRY!

And they called Sarah Palin stupid? The ignorance of this administration is overwhelming. His lack of foreign policy experience is an embarrasment to the entire country.
Im a 26 year old born in Honduras (El Progresso,Yoro) I moved to the USA when i was 2 years old (Bronx, NY) and when i learned of what was happening and how the US Administration, was in my eyes taking sides with Hugo Chavez (who has NO BUISNESS IN HONDURAS’ BUISNESS) i was extremely disapointed. I am though VERY VERY proud of the way my country is handling this matter VIVAN LOS CATRACHOS !!!! Peace & Love to all my family in Honduras and all Hondurians
finally getting some truth out there ,connie mack and his group take it to obama and clinton,hope it will change there policy on the government of honduras and at the least, let the people of honduras to deside
If Zelaya returns to power, you will have served Honduras to Chavez on a silver platter. Zelaya will never keep his word (never has)! Would somebody please explain to me what democracy means these days??? The good guys are the bad guys, and the other way around??? Shame on the State Department!!!
Finally!
Someone really gets it! Please continue to get the true story out. Your article has every point covered acurately. Thank you, Sarah Hinson
As a honduran I was aldo shocked and dissapointed by the possition of the US government, humiliating us in this way by sidding with Manuel Zelaya and Chavez is inexcusable.
Finally, right will prevail.
Excellent , my wife was born in Honduras, but now she is
A USA Citizen, and we were surprised at the beginning to see that the Obama
See that the USA Administration was on the side of Chavez and Zelaya,
We all know Mr Chavez is an allied of Cuba and Caastro
So we were very surprised,
Now we see that it looks the USA Government
Is going to act in favor of Democracy and not in favor of Dictators
Like Chavez, Castro and Zelaya ( a pupet ) of
Chavez.
Hear, hear – I agree with the above 5 posts. It’s about time Obama and Clinton got the straight scoop.
These Hondurans seem to have their act together. Unfortunately we don’t have it together in the U.S. I think if Obama were president in Honduras, they would ship him off to Costa Rica also. So what’s the matter with us, we should be recognizing Obama for what he is and send him packing and off to Venezuela.
Congrats to Honduras for standing for freedom!
I like this plan and it should be implamented as soon as possible.
my wife is from honduras,but is now a n/american citezen and she could not believe how mister obama sided with the most left wingers in latin american.may god helpus if this person in the white house continues inthis direction…. albert sramirez u.s.m.c. ret..
Yeah!
Finally the politicians are opening their eyes to see how the Administration ‘jumped the gun’ again on opening their mouth before finding out the facts.
I pray for the Honduran people.
AMEN. I hope those in 1600 Pennsylvannia Ave. will see the light!!!
As a retired Federal employee and investor in Honduras (Roatan) I was shocked with the positions taken by obama and clinton. Obviously some type of severe miscomunication occured with the Ambassador, US Military, Station Chief etc. Or am I to believe that our inexperienced pres. obama acted as fast as he could to stand up for the commies. In the words of obama’s wife “This is the first time, in my adult life, I have truely been ashamed of my country”, or something like that.
This situation is sad, sad, sad!!!
