He's the Best U.S. President

[FiddlingAnt]

He's a liberal. The majority of the people in his country are not too thrilled with him right now. He replaced a conservative president who did not live up to expectations.

And he is the best president of the United States today.

It goes without saying this can't be Barack Obama.  The person I am describing is Enrique Pena Nieto, President of the United States of Mexico.

So what has Pena Nieto been able to accomplish that has proved impossible for his American neighbor?

1. Pena Nieto has figured out how to grow the economy. Mexico's GDP growth is over 3% while America's is under 2%.
2. Mexico's government bond rating has moved up to A- under Pena Nieto, the highest in Mexican history. Meanwhile America's bond rating has gone down, for the first time ever, under Obama.
3. Mexico's unemployment rate was at 4.25% at the end of 2013. Meanwhile America's unemployment rate has been slow to return to pre-Obama numbers.  It is still above 6.6%.
4. In a big change that caught the world by surprise, Pena Nieto was able to get the Mexican legislature to allow foreign investment in the oil industry for the first time in 75 years. He worked with both conservatives and liberals to get it done.  Meanwhile, Obama has been dragging his own feet on American energy development and has proved utterly incapable of ideas that can be supported by both Democrats and Republicans. His one-party Affordable Care Act is an unfolding disaster.
5. Despite teacher's unions being a big supporter of his party, Pena Nieto is pushing reforms that will take away their power and improve the Mexican education system.  Meanwhile, here in America, Obama takes steps to eliminate school choice and support teacher's unions over children. His support for union perks as part of Obama Care also demonstrates his propensity to look out for special interest groups with actions that hurt the nation as a whole.

Pena Nieto is actually not that popular right now (tough choices can do that to a politician), but he has taken important steps to improve his country. Obama is also unpopular right now (lying to people about keeping their health insurance can do that), but it is because he has taken idiotic steps to weaken his country.

Critics of Obama have labeled him as crocked, evil, atheist, socialist, communist, and Muslim. However, the best label is unfortunately - incompetent.

Net migration from Mexico has fallen to zero, perhaps even lesson. Hmm, do you think the Mexicans have figured something out that liberals are still in denial about?

I quit reading right there. No one but a liberal thinks President Bush was a conservative.

This is the same retard who's been trying to re-define the government mandated minimum wage as a core principle of conservatism.

he keeps using that  word: I do not think it means what he thinks it means...

It looks like the purpose of this verbal vomiting was to post the first two paragraphs on a Conservative website. The rest is camouflage.

A quick troll past his blog indicates that he has to come here to get any kind of comments related to what he's writing cause he's not getting them there.

In 2011, more than 143,000 Mexican-born immigrants were granted U.S. lawful permanent residency (LPR status, also known as obtaining a green card).

More than 94,000 Mexican-born immigrants became U.S. citizens through naturalization in 2011

In early 2011, 59 percent of all unauthorized immigrants in the United States were from Mexico.
OIS estimated that in January 2011, 6.8 million (59 percent) of the approximately 11.5 million unauthorized migrants were born in Mexico.

The lesson here is that more is lesson...

Gee, I wonder why that is.

Also, I think the 11 million figure being touted everywhere is a misnomer.  That same number has been used since 2001. There is no doubt in my mind that So. Calif. has that many.

We've got that many here in Texas too.
