What Does Mexico’s President Know That President Obama Doesn’t?

What a joke the PAN turned out to be.

If this PRI jerk is actually effecting more positive reform than Fox and Calderdon did, indeed. Such a waste, they had power for 12 years. Much like we have little to show from W. Bush with 4 years of a GOP Congress. Alito and a sunsetted tax cut.

And we only got Alito because we twisted Bush's arm about it and screamed like hell over his original choice (Harriet Myers).

Still, it's more conservative than anything PAN did during the twelve years they had in power. Most of Fox & Calderon's reign is remembered for attacking our gun laws, protesting when we executed one of their scumbag criminals (which really doesn't make sense to me, I wouldn't bat an eyelash if one of our rapist murderers fled into Mexico and got snuffed by the locals), and of course, demanding amnesty for their citizens who were living in the US illegally. I can't think of a single time Fox OR Calderon used the bully pulpit to push for any conservative reforms in Mexico.

Interesting that the PAN cheerleaders on FR have widely disappeared from threads about Mexico.

Peña Nieto’s agenda includes breaking up Mexico's private sector monopolies including telecom which is controlled by Carlos Slim, the world's richest man. Mexico has plenty of natural resources, a good climate for agriculture and tourism, and a lot of prime coastal real estate. What has stood between the Mexican masses and prosperity is an oligarchy that has always controlled everything.
