I’m still catching up on all the news of Honduras, but I found this article to not be that newsworthy: The Obama administration worked in recent days to prevent President Manuel Zelaya’s ouster, said a senior U.S. official.

President Obama has sent out a video message to the world, but mostly it is targeted to the people of Iran.
