In reply to the discussion: Celebrate with me (and EFerrari) the irony of John Kerry demanding a full recount [View all]flamingdem

I think both Obama and Hillary are weak on Latin America but I'm more likely to give Obama a pass because Hillary was given power in that area and her brother is married to a right wing Cuban American lawyer who apparently has influenced her.
The policy in Honduras flowed from Cuba policy. The Cuban American congress members were involved and went to Honduras. They know how to insert themselves and their ranks include human rights abusers like Otto Reich. Sadly, Kerry is being forced to continue these dated policies that are not in the best interests of the people of the region, to say the least.

How very sad. I remember signing a petition that went to Kerry asking him to oppose Bush's policies
