so, david... >> well, i'll take on the felipe calderon legacy issue. for one thing i totally, the great thing is though she disagrees with me i agree with most of what denise has to say. i don't know how that works, but... i completely agree that it depends very much on what happens. there is still' chance that the they could begin and, something could cripple him in some significant way, but it the education pri's to lose in twoec2012 and in the last two election they couldn't get along and that is largely why they lost, perhaps more so than we might like to believe. so assuming the prism does win, i think we may look back and see president felipe calderon as the man who took mexico to war against itself and lost. and as a result, lost the presidency, who neglected his initial promises when he took office, to be the jobs president, but, who instead became the war on drugs president. that said i want to talk very briefly about the secret to being an optimist. and the secret to understanding -- thinking about mexico as the place we'd like it to be. and

the national action party, both under felipe calderon has in many ways accommodated to the traditional institutional framework and particularly at the local level where the fund has suffered its greatest defeats in the last several years, you see a great deal of questions posed for basically acting as the pri did once he came into power, acting in the same corporatist patronage driven way that the pri did for so many years. there is disappointment that the democratic process. there is disappointment with the national action party, and felipe calderon's war on drugs is not popular enough to translate into electoral gains for his party. and he has not been, he was not forceful enough in his first three years to push reforms that would have made the political system more representative, more accountable for that would have made the economic system much more competitive. so, what is he trying to do now? i think he viewed the midterms, the past midterms as a wake-up call and now you see him trying to push forward a series of reforms that he didn't add the cage during his first three years.

but now starting in december, 2006 the president of mexico felipe calderon was a strong man unleashed the mexican army on the drug industry. that was a tipping point. murders suddenly started going up, 200-7307 murders. in 2008, 1660 vendors. in 2009, 2753 murders. coupled with that is something that was going to happen anyway. they were basically american-owned factories and planted under the free trade policy that created a serious of serious policy that waged 50 to 75 week and serious violence because you had all of these. you have to understand anwar is there's a high school for every 500,000 people. these high schools are not free. 50% of the adolescents now in a harness neither are in school or do they have jobs. there's 500 to 900 street gangs. these are not affinity groups or clubs. these are armed groups. one has 3,000 members. so when cal durham on least this for mechem drugs which i don't think is real but when he unleashed it, the violence started erupting and now it's erupting over large areas of mexico and you can't get the genie back in the well because it is fundamenta

mexican president felipe calderon spoke to the house chamber last week as our guest. but i heard about it nonstop when i went back home to my district in texas. my office has received hundreds of calls, almost as many as those during the health care debate. to say my constituents were not happy with calderon's speech would be an understatement. when i went out to get gas go to a restaurant or wash my car, i got an animated earful from my neighbors. people in southwest texas thought he was disrespectful and ungrateful to america. my friend sammy mahan who owns a wrecker service, said a lot of things, some of which can't repeat. he but he sid say, quote, calderon lives in a lawless country and doesn't want us to enforce our laws either. it's like we invited a friend over for dinner and he showed up with his friends and family. he spoke in spanish directly to the mexican nationals illegalalism remitances from the united states are mexico's second largest source of foreign funds. calderon told the illegals in spanish, right up here from this podium, quote, i want to tell
