Can't tell you how many people I know who visit Mexico at least once a year; they've been cancelling their trips in droves and going elsewhere or simply staying home. And I don't remember Calderon saying a peep after rancher Rob Krentz was gunned down. The man is a hypocrite on so many levels. He looks equally as desperate as Obama.Writer Xnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-47011706382642313112010-06-09T17:39:59.828-04:002010-06-09T17:39:59.828-04:00Agreed Mega.

And I agree about <i>Miami Vice</i> being the show about the 1980s.<br /><br />Yeah, it sure is amazing how people who do much worse than us can criticize us for kicking people back out of the country (something every country does).<br /><br />You would think there would come a point when people would be more worried about their won countries than trying to find fault in us, but then demonization has always been good politics.

No show more personified the 80's in my opinion, and the original story arc of about 6 or 7 details how Rico came to join the team. (Crockett's partner {Jimmy Smits} was killed, as was the older brother of Rico. They were murdered by a big time drug kingpin named Calderon.<br /><br />Hopefully, it is now clear where I was going with all that. El Pesidante Demagogue is nothing but a thug who sticks his nose into our affairs. It's o.k. for his people to illegally enter our country, but jail time to people illegally entering May-he-coh.<br /><br />I still cheer whenever I see a movie or book depicting San Jacinto.Tennessee Jedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10604275115906776992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4425587034622601550.post-86190823641264074672010-06-09T12:20:29.073-04:002010-06-09T12:20:29.073-04:00Bev, That's the kind of twisted that logic tha...Bev, That's the kind of twisted that logic that I could actually see them using to link Arizona to this! Of course, that sounds like a good reason for Texas and California to follow Arizona's lead, doesn't it?<br /><br />Diverting attention from their own failings by pointing fingers at the United States seems to be the method of choice for most foreign leaders these days -- everyone from Brazil to Iran to Korea to Europe. It's really pretty pathetic.<br /><br />And you're right about Fox, he did the same thing.<br /><br />Diego Fernandez de Cevallos was kidnapped a month ago, and no demands have been made for his return even though the kidnappers released pictures of him.

Calderon has serious problems at home and this is nothing more than an attempt to divert the public from his failures.<br /><br />And I don't think he'll be the only one.
