AP: President Barack Obama says he wants to set aside old stereotypes that have created misunderstanding between Mexico and the United States. He says Mexico is an emerging nation that is remaking itself and that the U.S.-Mexico relationship should be defined by shared prosperity, not by threats both countries face.
In a speech Friday to a predominantly student audience in Mexico City, Obama conceded that demand for drugs in the United States is at the root of much of the violence in Mexico. He also acknowledged that most guns used to commit crime in Mexico come from the U.S.
Obama said he's optimistic the U.S. Congress will change the nation's immigration laws and says the current immigration system doesn't reflect U.S. values.
Obama was traveling to Costa Rica after the speech.

On to Costa Rica to undoubtedly spew the same blame-America rhetoric that he's always preaching to young, impressionable indoctrinees. What's it say about a U.S. President who seeks approval abroad when things aren't going his way here? Is he externally seeking to put pressure on us? Kinda appears that way...certainly doesn't speak highly of the notion of sovereignty or constitutionality...but then again, it's Obama.
Rush points out an additional reason for his trip: to ratchet up immigration, essentially.
"So Obama is in Mexico selling amnesty."
