re: Honduras Coup updated

It is definitely scary, and sad, because they really don't have many resources. I haven't been following it as much as my boyfriend has, but he told me that the economy wasn't good to begin with and then the president wasted hundreds of thousands. It's scary how little medical care they have in some of the small villlages, too. When we spoke to his mom the other night, she told him that one of his nephews was very, very sick and that he couldn't even see a doctor. Fortunately, she had some remedies at home that did get him better but they were really worried about him.

Did you guys see that Obama cut military funding to Honduras because of this? He's also threatening to cut economic aid.

Nice. So, he essentially still supports presidents who try to extend their terms unlawfully. That's a little scary.
