Obama to Address Drug-Related Violence Near Mexican Border
January 27th, 2009 by Perry
In a break from the norm, Obama met with Mexican President Felipe Calderon to discuss violence and drug trafficking in his country. Since FDR, presidents have been severely scrutinized with what they do in their first 100 days, and expected to work on domestic issues first, especially in light of the nation’s economic woes.
The meeting is an indication of just how out of control the violence down there has become in the world’s No. 1 producer of marijuana.
The issue of violence south of and near the border however, was the No. 1 issue of national security people asked about on Change.gov.
