He can't be caught condemning the move now if he tries it later on. It's a possibility.

There is always a double standard in the American main stream media and the American left for left wing dictators: witness things like Sean Penn's love of Chavez and Michael Moore's affection for Castro when both would be apoplectic, and moving to France, if Bush had tried anything even remotely similar to their predations over their people and their press.<br><br>I think the interesting question is what the reaction, especially from Obama, would be if a right wing president had defied the supreme court and congress and been booted by a left wing coup. Then I think you would see them hailing the great victory for democracy in Honduras.
