This is not on most people's radar, but the President of Honduras was ousted in a coup Friday.
This is interesting only because in a statement earlier today, President Obama seemed in my opinion to be supporting the democratically elected President. The problem with that is the Military removed him because he was trying to change election law in the way Hugo Chavez has in Venezuela -to basically become a dictator who is 'elected' (wink wink) over and over again. In Honduras the President is only allowed one term. One and done is how it's supposed to go in Honduras. President Manuel Zelaya thought that he was doing such a great job that he would change the Constitution of Honduras and go against the wishes of both Honduras' Congress and Supreme Court.
What is being said is that Zelaya wanted Honduras to be more like Socialist Venezuela. The monied and middle class along with Military leaders in Honduras weren't having any of that. The poor and the unions in Honduras were 100% behind President Zelaya. This is an interesting juxtaposition for President Obama as there are a lot of right wing talk radio listeners and Fox News watchers who believe with every fiber of their being that this is exactly what Obama trying to do here in America.
This happened over the weekend, but if you listen to Rush, Hannity or Boortz you're going to hear these boliviators selling this big time tomorrow. With Barack sorta/kinda defending the ousted President, you'll hear Socialist a lot this week. Republicans are of the thinking that President Obama wants to relieve them of their treasure and pass it on to the least amongst us. These people would love for the United States Military to oust our duly elected President before he seizes their treasure. These people believe this. The drum beat of Socialism will be beating loud this week, listen for it.
A plant tip: detoxify the air with houseplants. Scientific studies, including some conducted by NASA prove that tropical houseplants reduce indoor pollution. Plants like Peace Lillie's, Pothos spider plants etc. have been proven to extract pollutants from your indoor atmosphere.
