Why is the Obama Administration siding with the dictators?

Honduran president Manuel Zelaya was removed from office early Sunday morning by the Honduran army, on the orders of the country’s Supreme Court. He was deposited in Costa Rica in his pajamas, and the Congress appointed a new president. The media, the White House and regional leftist despots are calling it an illegal military coup. In reality, this is a forced impeachment.
Zelaya proposed a referendum to change the Honduras constitution, which imposed term limits on the president. In attempting to follow in the footsteps of Venezuela’s Hugo Chavez and assume a lifetime office, Zelaya miscalculated, believing he could strong-arm his country into allowing him to disregard his country’s rule of law. He pushed ahead with the referendum, against Honduras law, Congress, and the Supreme Court, at which point he was deposed.
Secretary Hillary Clinton says this should be condemned by everyone. President Obama said, “We believe that the coup was not legal and that President Zelaya remains the president of Honduras,” claiming, “We stand on the side of democracy.”
The White House is joining a chorus which includes Venezuelan dictator and Zelaya's close ally Hugo Chavez, who himself had successfully maneuvered into a lifetime presidential term, Nicaraguan President Daniel Ortega, who earlier this year railed against the United States in a speech before President Obama, and Fidel Castro, as well as unanimous condemnation from the U.N.
Honduras was well within its own rights to depose Zelaya to protect its constitution and its democracy, despite President Obama and other leftist leaders’ accusations that this action trampled democracy.
Zelaya routinely riled up the poor in a proletariat versus bourgeoisie type of populist “democracy”, much to the detriment of Honduran prosperity. According to Ray Walser, writing in the New York Post, “Honduras is a poor nation, and got worse on Zelaya's watch. But rather than blame the global downturn or his own failures, Zelaya sought to rally the masses behind him by fingering the nation's elites as behind the nation's woes.”
The success Hugo Chavez had securing a lifetime presidency inspired Zelaya to emulate it. Instead, Honduras resisted and is now being condemned by the one who should be celebrating the safeguarding of constitutional law and the democratic process, and thwarting a dictatorship, the President of the United States.
