Barack Obama has proven that besides being a great candidate is an exceptional president. At first I assumed it would be somewhat conservative, however, has pushed its margin to the limit especially in foreign policy. For example, the G20 operated for France and China on their positions allowing take forward some points of the commitment made by participants. In France, Obama apologized for the abuses of his country, but criticized the ambivalent attitude of Europe toward the United States. In addition to the Russian president got a change in the tone of the relationship while in Prague ruled to eliminate nuclear weapons. A day later reached out to Islam. Within days the U.S. president made great progress but the right of their country criticized him for asking for forgiveness and also poured criticism for not achieving its objectives in Europe.
few days after Obama came to Mexico and unlike their European tour his speeches in our country were neutral with no other desire but to meet the process. In the welcome speech, Barack Obama improvised. Instead Calderon process usually gives speeches on this occasion was very assertive and clear on the issues of security and trade.
The next day at the Summit of the Americas, Obama again made history by proposing a new relationship with the region and particularly looking to reestablish relations with Cuba ending with a restraining almost 50 years old.
Why Obama seems to care too Mexico? Even though we are the third largest trading partner the United States, are an integral part of national security, we are the country where Americans are living longer, we are a center of labor and yet also one of its main oil suppliers, among many other things Why Obama does not seek to build a proactive agenda to Mexico?.
find two reasons: one is that the cost-benefit equation immerse yourself with Mexico has fewer benefits and more political costs. The second reason is that the relationship with Mexico Obama has no place to make history. Perhaps the greatest flaw and greatest virtue is that Obama story to most of the time, that it takes almost revolutionary changes, but can also lead to more volatile scenarios. In the case of Mexico, either as options as with past presidents that neighbor Mexico is distant encounter from time to time when we left the house. The problem may arise that one day things might change and would have to deal with Mexico on a reactive rather than proactive.
Mexico What should I do? seek more contact with the Mexicans living there, the state strengthen ties with families living north of the border. More emphatic push policies for migrants to be better received. There are some programs of this type but are very weak and limited, one of the measures would allow such massive vote abroad, the only problem is that it would increase instability in the elections in Mexico. Unlike other minorities in the United States of Mexicans who live there are not so politicized as to have no interest in organizing as occurs with the Cubans or the Israelis that through the lobby and the weight of their votes have been define U.S. foreign policy on specific issues for decades.
