Except in Venezuela, Bolivia, the Middle East...

> Venezuela

Specifically voiced support for the pro-democratic opposition leader that arguably won the election.

> the Middle East

Supported democratic reforms in Egypt against a long time pro-US dictator in Mubarak. Supported Syria's right to self-determination to the point of fighting with FSA for years.

> Bolivia

Bolivia is an interesting case, the opposition claimed fraud but i've seen no evidence of it. A black eye for sure to come down against the results of their election without proof.
