On June 28, the president of Honduras was removed from office and sent into exile. Even though he had committed several crimes, he was not arrested, but left to travel wherever he wanted and say whatever he wanted. While he was traveling the world and portraying what a victim he was, he had a credit card issued by the Honduran government. The card was canceled on July 1. In that brief four days, he managed to spend $80,000.00. EIGHTY THOUSAND DOLLARS. Mel has acquired fine suits, hats, boots, shirts, and neckties. He also hosted banquets in luxurious hotels and while in Bethlehem stayed in the presidential suite of the Horseshoe Hotel. This was done with the intent of someone in Honduras paying for this. Who?
The government. Poor people that can't afford to feed their children. Missionaries that are there to help. I don't know who was going to pay for it.
After the card was canceled, Hugo Chavez graciously said the Venezuelan government would pay for all these charges. In other words, the taxpayers of Venezuela will pay for this shopping spree.
As I read this article, I scrolled down to read the comments as well. One comment was written by a former civil servant of the former president. He said now that he no longer had a paycheck to protect he could be honest. His comment said that Manuel Zelaya was the worse president in the the history of Honduras. This former employee of the former president claims that more has been robbed from the country than any other time in history.
And yet, the world thinks this criminal should be restored to power and that he is a victim. Sounds to me like the whole country is the victim.

somebody needs to wake up and smell the coffee! or should I say smell the rat! What a terrible greedy man this former president is.
I don't understand why nobody in government around the world sees him for what he is. I think we've become too complacent in our "soft" life and don't keep up with what's going on in the world.
