Look how our 3rd world neighbor handles a hurricane and compare it to *

[othermeans]

the two-day meeting of Bush, Canadian Prime Minister Stephen Harper and Mexican President Felipe Calderon is aimed at building on the trade relationship among the partners in the North American Free Trade Agreement.

But soon after he arrived at the resort, Calderon announced he would be cutting his visit to Canada short to return home on Tuesday as the potentially catastrophic Hurricane Dean headed toward the Yucatan Peninsula.

1. Now that's what I was waiting to hear... There may be a GOD after all...

That is exactly what he should be doing and the sooner the better....

2. This guy needs some work, but he may not be as bad as I suspected after all...

At least one can hope anyway...

7. Oh, he is pretty bad. But he is smart enough to know he cannot ignore

his country during a catastrophe. Bush gets away with it, but the Mexican people would not be so forgiving.

3. Exactly what a REAL leader should do.

4. Rec'd for making the blivet look like an asshole, again. And good

for Calderon.

5. Stop it!

He did a fly over 4 days later.

8. Very interesting article but...

Can we please stop calling Mexico as a "third world country"? It's not. Its HDI place it among the top 40 nations of the planet and it has a very strong and modern economy. Of course, there's still a lot to do but it would be great to see terms such as "third world" disappear: it has a very pejorative and colonial meaning. More when it's not appropriated.

No offense intended. :)

9. Any excuse to get out of a meeting with Bush

:hide:

10. Now, after he's done trying to look good, perhaps he can build

an infrastructure and economy that supports all his people and not just a few.
