Honduras’ Election: Freedom wins over Socialism, Obama, and the MSM « NewsReal Blog: "“They tried to build a Berlin Wall and Honduras tore it down.”

Those words came from a Bolivian member of parliament who helped oversee the controversial Presidential elections in Honduras. Porfirio Lobo, a rancher from the conservative National Party, was nominated over Liberal Party candidate Elvin Santos, who represented the party of both the ousted President Manuel Zelaya and the interim government led by Roberto Micheletti. Lobo’s election is not only a win for Honduras, but also a win over socialism, the Obama administration, and the slanted journalism of most of the mainstream media.

In early summer this year, then President Zelaya, most likely under the influence of his friend and mentor Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez, tried to rewrite the nation’s constitution to stay in power. Zelaya tried to avoid a free election by calling for a national referendum. According to the Honduran Constitution, only the congress can call for a national referendum.

The Honduran Supreme Court ruled Zelaya’s actions illegal. Zelaya rejected the courts ruling and was moving forward with illegal plans to stay in power. So in June of this year, the court, with the approval of Zelaya’s own party in congress, sent the military in to arrest President Zelaya and he was sent to Costa Rica."
