The Obama administration is not saying much about all this as far as I can see. Today the coup officials are actually being allowed to go to Washington and will have a news conference even though the new government's president is not regarded as legal. The US administration has still not officially classified the coup as a coup. This would require aid to be cut off but it is just suspended for now. The coup leaders will be able to simply move forward the elections and keep on as they are until the elections are held. Once elections are held and a safe president installed again everything will return to normal. The poor staying poor and the elite staying in power. Democracy as the US likes it will return to Honduras. Only if the people rise up will events change but the Honduran military has been well trained with leaders graduates of the School of Americas and the US has provided them with plenty of aid.
