Barack on Mexico
Someone sent me a link to this article in the Dallas Morning News. Its Barak Obama talking about the need to improve relations with Mexico, and heavily criticizing the Bush administration for letting our relationships with our North American allies get so horribly strained. A quote:
“ Mr. Bush took office vowing to make the Americas a top priority. But over the last seven years, the administration’s approach to this issue has been clumsy, disinterested and, above all, distracted by the war in Iraq. Indeed, relations have not fully recovered since Mexico refused to fall in line with President Bush’s rush to war.”
And one more:
“ Our relationship with Mexico should serve as a bridge to greater security and prosperity in North America and to better relations with Latin America. But we cannot achieve this partnership unless we engage in sustained and focused diplomacy, and develop a more effective working relationship with our neighbor to the south.”
Obama talks about a rise in hate crimes against Latinos and trouble on the borders. Hillary has been invited to respond with a similar essay. But as we are about to be Ambassadors to Mexico in our own right, what do you think?
