At present, there is a sort of anti-CAFTA group of nations called ALBA, which Zelaya entered Honduras into and the current regime has exited the country from. Obama has expressed support for the current regime because it is necessary for him to favor “free trade” zones. He is not in any real position to help Zelaya, and I am not entirely certain he would be personally inclined to. Obama is not a genuine “man of the people(s)”.
