Davis was a Hillary cheerleader during the election. Now she's lobbying for a military coup?Dear Mr. President:
Remember, during the 2008 presidential primaries, the constant screeching national media presence from lawyer-lobbyist Lanny Davis? Yeah, him. The guy who night after night went on every cable TV channel to scream that Obama wasn't electable, that Obama couldn't win swing states, that Obama couldn't win white voters, that Obama had to explain his position on race, that Obama couldn't answer the 3 a.m. phone call...
He's baaaack.
And now he's representing the Honduran coup d'etat.
Yup, one of those very same bottom-feeding lobbyists who you banned from your administration is now out to prove that you really are the "inexperienced" rube he said you were.
And (as your Spanish-speaking U.S. citizen it is my duty to inform you) the way that much of Latin America sees it, your administration -- and particularly your Secretary of State -- are being successfully played by.. cough ... cough ... Lanny Davis!
Who can forget Lanny's January 17, 2008 "Open Letter" to you, asking: "What Exactly in the Clinton-Era Nineties Did You Not Like?"
Well, other than lobbyists wagging the dog of Washington (in general) and Lanny Davis (in particular), I'll bet that heavy-handed U.S. policy over the previous 28 years (including the 1990s) toward Latin America didn't leave a good taste in your mouth either, Mr. President. It certainly didn't down here. ..........(more)
