Obama backs Mexico's war on drugs

"Mexico's war on drugs"? As if any Mexican would lay claim to the American war on drugs.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/americas/8001733.stm

Quote:
"At a time when the Mexican government has so courageously taken on the drug cartels that have plagued both sides of the borders, it is absolutely critical that the United States joins as a full partner in dealing with this issue," Mr Obama said.

He said he preferred to focus on enforcing existing laws to keep US assault weapons out of Mexico, rather than trying to renew a US ban which expired in 1994.

Backtracking on a campaign pledge to reinstate the ban, Mr Obama said that doing so would be politically difficult.
These people are sick.

I don't know if its because Im high at the moment, but I will just speculate for a moment here: As a Puertorrican who belongs to USA yet hates them to no end, I think USA wants to take over the marijuana business from the mexicans. The past few years they have tightened the border security and at the same time, medical marijuana acceptance is growing fast, I think USA just wants to stop mexicans from bringing it in and start making it in USA.

That came out different than what I had thought in my mind, doesn't make as much sense as when I thought it, hope you understand what I tried to say...

And on the obama being a fucker, well honestly I don't know if he is a fucker, but I do know that people have too high expectations from obama. People think obama is some kind of savior, some think because he is black he will do things different. But thats just an ilusion, I don't see obama as a savior, I don't even see obama as a black man, I see obama as a politic, just another dirty lying politician controlled by money. If that wasn't true, he wouldn't be our president. If the best candidate were to win, Ron paul would be president, but the media made sure people didn't even hear his name...
