Thread: Calderon: Don't blame Mexico for America's problems

MEXICO CITY - The president of Mexico, Felipe Calderon, criticized that in the United States the contenders to the presidency of that country compete for showing "who has the most swagger, who is the most macho, and who is the more anti-mexican".

"The U.S. does not have competitiveness"

In interview with the newscast radio Focus, the Mexican president regretted that in the neighboring country a problem "serious" exists, political and economic, and they are transferring to Mexico "their anger".
"In politics they have placed as hostages the Mexicans in U.S.. The only theme in the electoral campaign is to know "who has the most swagger, who is the most macho, and who is the more anti-mexican". Calderon said, who has just completed his first year in Government.


The leader of the conservative National Action Party (PAN) said that in the last days he is hearing "pre-global arguments", just as before he heard arguments that where "pre-colonial" which affect Mexico.
The reason why many American businessmen want to manufacture in Mexico or of any another country is because the production in the neighboring country turns out to be very expensive, according to Calderon.
"That hans nothing to do with the prosperity of Mexico. It has to do with the fact that the United States does not have competitiveness, it has to see that, by financing its adventure on the war, they are spending the money of the Americans and getting the Government into debt, and that is displacing the private investment", criticized the conservative leader.
Calderon added that in the United States the contenders to the presidency "are being mistaken in their diagnosis" and "deceitfully the internal campaigns of the parties are aiming at someone that is innocent, that is Mexico".
On the United States' economic problems that are affecting Mexico by being its main commercial associate, Calderon indicated that he expects a relaunching of the economy of the neighboring country "in the third quarter of next year".
According to the leader, the United States is "very wrong" in the economic issue due to that fact that "they are evading the problem of the lack of competitiveness of the American economy and they believe that closing their borders is going to resolve it", he concluded.

Felipe the RAT. (This banner reads: "Federal Police, get out of Oaxaca. Total support to APPO, political prisoners, Freedom!".

Competitiveness to him is cheap labor. He is criticizing Americans because they won't work for slave wages like the Mexican people. He is a joke.

Love the "raton" banner!!

It appears Calderon has gotten a slap in the face today in light of the Tecate Mexico Police Chief being slain while sleeping next to his wife and with his family in the house.

And what's also amazing is the DHS, ICE, and other Federal officials are at the site of the underground tunnel near this slaying SHOWING THAT THE CARTELS are still pushing their agenda in Mexico.

You know the fact is - he's right. It is America's problem and we let it happen. Out politicians encouraged it, aided it, abetted it, protected it and we just kept voting them in.

Businesses kept making profts from them, and purchasing politicians while we paid for their upkeep. AND we kept buying their products.

While Mexico certainly has been 'helpful' in the situation, we are ultimately to blame.

Dollars to donuts someone who has suddenly woke up from he/her coma and realized we have a problem or someone who is pro illegal will get elected.

People are afraid to step out and vote for someone other than the ones teh media sees fit to annoint.

I think I just got dumber reading his thoughts! You can have your "hostages" back, Rataron...free of charge, YOU take care of them and make sure you keep them real close to you, so they don't try to RUN back in here.

haha what a moron!

These people in corrupt Mexico just do not get the concept of "WE THE PEOPLE", they refuse to face the fact as does the Demacratic party (for the most part, not all ), that 80% of Americans (WE THE PEOPLE) want this illegal immigration stopped, and only a few politicians with half a brain are picking up on it and speaking out, and Caldaron and the OBL's just hate the fact that "WE THE PEOPLE" are finally being heard by some of the politicans.

"Americans Not Competetive" HA! we are when we have someone that is worth competeing against....But I will guarantee you, you have nothing for us to compete with. I would not call fighting with millions of people who are willing to work for slave labor worthy of any kind of competitiveness, that would be bordering on maddness, and stupidity on are part and we just aren't that stupid. We may have been asleep but not anymore!

I couldn't have said it better, nntrixie!

Hopefully, Mexico will get so angry with us they will abandon the SSP and expose GWB dirty little secrets, which could be the reasons why he's pandered to them for so long. He was wrong about Iraq, about Iran and he's wrong about not closing the borders. In fact this President hasn't been worth a damn has he!

Can't wait for that meltdown from Calderon Rockfish.

We have to get ready to make some popcorn to watch the mud fly.
