Fox obtains little from Bush

[cosmicone]

MEXICO CITY (Reuters) - Branded a "lap dog" of imperialism, Mexican President
Vicente Fox has earned contempt from leftist Latin American leaders for his close ties to the United States, and little in return from Washington.

A plan to let more immigrants work legally in the United States -- Mexico's headline foreign policy goal -- has become bogged down in Congress after five years of lobbying from Fox.

That is despite Fox taking flak from critics of the United States in the region for defending U.S. proposals for regional free trade. Mexico also feels let down by U.S. criticism of its fight against drug gangs on the border.

President Hugo Chavez of Venezuela and Nestor Kirchner of Argentina this month harangued Fox for promoting a planned Americas-wide trade pact known as the FTAA which left-wing leaders complain will be slanted to benefit the United States.

3. Yeah, the Mexican president ought to change his name.....

Who would want to be mistaken for that worthless POS network?

He could correctly change his name to Zorro. Presidente Zorro. That's got a marquee ring to it.

Carlyle, Halliburton...I have no doubt he will get a comfortable sinecure.

9. Poppy Bush was never a fan of Fox's political party.

He tried to undermine it when he was in office.

10. That's what you get when you play ball with Republicans

You'd think intelligent folks would learn by now that you can't make deals with people like these who integrity. I don't feel the least bit sorry for him (or anyone else who tried to "cooperate" and ends up being screwed).

They're nothing but enablers- and deserve what they get.
