... This one’s a tag-team effort between Barack Obama and Hillary Clinton, showing a lack of coordination between the President and his Secretary of State. As events in Honduras unfolded, Obama publicly called the removal of President Manuel Zelaya a coup. Hillary sent an entirely different message in order to keep American options open : U.S. President Barack Obama said on Monday the coup that ousted Honduran President Manuel Zelaya was illegal and would set a “terrible precedent” of transition by military force unless it was reversed.“We believe that the coup was not legal and ...
