There were many moving pieces in play by late June 2009. Many people were getting uncomfortable with how much Obama reminded them of Hugo Chavez, Communist dictator of Venezuela. Not everyone wanted to have a Communist dictator. Even in Central America, a friend of Hugo Chavez and Fidel Castro was overthrown in a coup on about June 28, 2009. America seemed to be stuck with their leftist president and congress, however. Obama, true to form, supported the deposed Communist dictator.
The entire world situation was very unstable, what with the North Koreans ready to launch a possibly nuclear-tipped missile towards Hawaii on July 4th and Iran continuing to be in turmoil.
