Calderón Condemns Coup

From an appearance in Nicaragua, here are some quotes courtesy of Excélsior:
We come to also offer our support to the Honduran people and to their president, President Zelaya, and to express that Mexico categorically rejects this break with the constitutional order; that the only way to take power in a democracy is through the ballot boxes and that armed force must not be used to violate this constitutional order.

[Break]

We endorse the attachment to constitutional principles and our rejection of these methods of action, absolutely deplorable in the 21st century and among nations that pride themselves on being democracies and respecting human rights...

calderon would certainly be against it,,, as would be obama,, i say obama because you may not be aware of the name i use to indicate him,,, surrendermonkey,,, we cant have people thinking they can put out the fearless leaders in charge of a country,,,

i really have no idea as to why this was done and frankly it is none of my business,,, nor is it calderons,,, nor ears,,, another name for surrendermonkey...

Hi John,

I'd appreciate it if we could limit the name-calling in regard to someone's physical appearance. I certainly don't mind you disagreeing with me or with Obama or anyone else, but within the boundaries of appropriateness, I must insist.
