our phone lines are open -- ellis salvador and honduras. here is what the president had to say about the situation in honduras. >> let me first of all speak about the coup in honduras because this was the topic of conversation between myself and president uribe. all of us have great concerns about what has taken place there. president zelaya was democratically elected. he had not yet completed his term. we believe that a the coup -- we believe that the coup not legal and zelaya remains the president of honduras. the present host: using the word -- host: president using the presidentcoup -- the president using the word coup. guest: will probably overlooked the president's casual use of the word, but it was a coup. i think the secretary of state was careful not getting zelaya a blank check because she wants him before he is returned with our support and the organization of american states, she wants him -- and i think properly so -- to give up any ambitions of a plebiscites that would extend his term. host: john is on the phone from bridgepor

no, i honestly do not know whether they got it. >> can we tend to honduras? has president obama spoken with the president since the coup? >> not that i know of. >> what specific things is the white house doing and can it do? >> i think you all know that -- it is obviously in this morning's news report, that working with the oas and others in the international community over the past few days, we were working to avert the type of constitutional action that took place in honduras. we tried to prevent that from happening. our goal now is on restoring democratic order in honduras, again working with partners at the oas and the international community. >> without getting into the what if, what does it mean when you say working with the oas in the international community? are there calls coming in from the president? >> i do not believe the president has called anybody. i'm sure this is something that will be discussed in the meeting with the colombian president today. i just do not want to get into diplomacy out loud the second. >> still on the honduras issue, try

i am not going to announce what the consensus is in honduras. what i do know is that zelaya is the democratically elected president. >> what about the resignation letter written in his name? >> i have seen reports on that given the way that he was hustled out of the country, i do not know if i would give a lot of credence. can we move to another subject? >> we are confused. the secretary said it evolves into a coup. interesting phrase. there seems to be a lack of clarity. as the u.s. going to say this is permitted and this is not? it's almost like saying "a little bit pregnant." is it illegal? is it illegal according to the honduran constitution? >> i believe in it is, but i am not an international lawyer. i believe that it is illegal. i do not think that there was -- look. i will take this question, but i am not an international lawyer. this was not a democratic solution to some of the conflicts that we saw leading up to yesterday's events. i think that is our real issue with this. that is our issue with all of the oas. >> is it fair to say thi

there is much injustice in honduras. injustice arises from inequality from the laws that create inequality between human beings. we are an evil as individuals. we are an equal -- we are inequal as nations. some have everything. some have nothing. understand that systems of countries of nations seek to reduce these inequalities to perpetuate them. by law, we are all to be respected. we sought to repeal laws that were aimed at creating a system of poverty of any quality. there is a law that has been held for eight months. that is what we had difficulties, because it was a law on domestic workers. 1.5 million people who work in domestic specters. their sponsors were obliged to register with social security to ensure they had health- insurance. it took congress eight months to work on this bill. it took eight months to make sure they receive social security. for all these reasons, that is why we are in this situation today. i do not want to turn this into a long story. the people of hong doors have the right to participate i
