Vicente Fox Skeptical Of Obama Thanks To Bush, Votes To Legalize Marijuana

Former Mexican President Vicente Fox sat down with Rick Sanchez yesterday to talk about US-Mexican relations and the drug war and said he’s skeptical of Obama’s commitment to improve our dysfunctional relationship with Mexico after his experience with President George W. Bush.

He came and gave a BIG KISS to my mother in Rancho San Cristobel and she felt like she was the queen of the world. And, yes, we BUILT a strategy. We BUILT a commitment. We SAID we were going after a migration reform and nothing happened. I don’t want to be for bad luck, but I’m skeptical.

(Except he said it like, “I’m eh-skeptical,” which was way hotter. Vicente Fox for movie trailer voiceover guy, anyone? Anyone?)

Fox also says that while Mexican President Felipe Calderon is acting like a president and thinking of the next generation, Bush only thought about the next election, so he hopes Obama doesn’t do the same. Tough words from an ineffectual man.

While talking to Rick, Fox referred to an earlier conversation he had with CNN where he said that President Calderon is directly confronting the drug trade in Mexico with Army troops while the United States is kind of hemming and hawing their way through this whole thing. Fox also made headlines when he recently came out publicly with his belief that the U.S. and Mexico should engage in a dialogue about legalizing marijuana. It’s prohibition all over again, peeps. Except that potheads are really boring and drunks are a barrel of monkeys.
