Nonsense. He's, I believe, doing his best against near impossible odds.
Hey Tengo...How about using English so everybody understands what you have to say. You want to habla Espaņol, take it to the Spanish Language forum
and jabber away.

That must be wrong.
We all know that corrupt government officials in kahoots with narcos ONLY happens south of the border.

Grover, Your not saying the US government would ever do something like give chemical weapons to Sadam Hussain to fight Iran, import and sell crack
cocaine to US citizens to fund black projects, and have anything to do with all the drugs getting into the US nowdays? No way.. Never.
Maybe it would be a good idea if we sold China some nuke secrets so they would be our friends; then, they could sell them to Pakistan.. Oh .. too
late for that too. The blue dress got it that time.
{Putting my head back into the sand}
You know there is a conspiracy about "conspiracy" being in the dictionary.. because there is no such thing as conspiracy.. right?
Con = with
Piracy = anything for a buck
Capitalism rocks so hard sometimes! 
Ok... this post was so far over the top.. (Checking out the window for the guys in black suits now.) 
Ok, to set this all straight. If I were president of Mexico. I'd be sitting on a beach sipping a c-cktail.

If I were president of Mexico, I'd be corrupt and would have succumbed to local and international pressure..... or I would have been shot to death.
Just the title statement of the subject posting suggests an impossible propossition.
Change and fix the problems of Mexico just because you are president, with all your good intentions?... sometimes we can't solve even our family
problems no matter how hard we try and how well intended we may be. -Dr. PHil-
Except for the drug problem, Mexico is slowly making progress and fixing some of its problems -not all of them- Mexico can live with its imperfections
and "continue trying to be happy".... "You don't fail until you stop trying" (someone said that) and the fun is in the trying. (I said that)
The drug thing is hurting: Killings, insecurity, costs, etc. Will Mexico ever win the war? I don't think so. Would legalization fix the problem?
Maybe. Will the US curb demand/consumption? Doubtful, very unlikely.
The other day, if I may... a friend of mine was saying: The only way to stop drug trafficking is that the UN steps in and requires that all countries
produce their own stuff. Grow and make your own. Regulate the hell out of it and ease on prohibition. That's what he said.
So that's a combination of options: Legalization, distribution and consumption.
So, having "solved" the drug problem, we can move forward with being president.
Mexico should align with the US block and break away from Castro/Chavez/Morales dictators. Clearly and categorically. Hell with them. No vacillating
positions under any excuse. As a defined US supporter -not a puppet-, Mexico should be able to "collect" additional benefits from the US and the
western block to integrate its development style to that of the US. Break away from the "third world country"mentality and channel all of its
resources to modernization and social improvement:
1- Heavy capital investment in areas of social interest. Immediately.
1a) Open for foreign investment. Remove land ownership barriers to foster construction and tourism development. This goes in hand with...
2.-Job creation programs to retain productive population within borders at the same time that temporary work programs can be worked with other
countries -there is a successful program with Spain currently which can be expanded-
3.-Heavy investment in the agricultural sector to become independent on the basic food items: corn, beans, livestock.
4.-Technical education with a purpose. More agricultural engineers and less lawyers, and philosophers. -nothing personal there-... just for a
while...
5.-Social education: Birth control; environmental consciousness; ethics; moral; human rights;
6.-Continue with the modernization of Pemex to reach an energy self sufficiency level within a relatively short period of time.
7.- Work the UNAM (Universidad Autonoma de Mexico) on a plan to prepare future public administrators focused on ethics and moral.
8.-"Infiltrate" fully educated and trained new mentality individuals in all key areas of public administration to educate and set examples: Police,
hacienda and bureaucracy in general.
9.-Gradually remove or regulate existing negative elements from mass media that sicken and misguide our youth: Telenovelas; cheap uneducated TV
programs that target uneducated social class to keep them cheap.
To accomplish all this, or just to get the ball rolling, it would require a well orchestrated plan, as a complot or a conspiracy. That would take
"out of the box" people. People from anywhere in the world... it would be fun to watch...
There are my 5 cents.

As for judging Mexico, I'd leave that to the people of Mexico. If the manana culture is so much more desirable than efficient infrastructure and
investment in societal concerns, the people will vote by living happily in Mexico. A Mexican moving out of Mexico is a vote of no confidence. Right
now, approximately 10% of Mexicans are living in the U.S. Other than the U.S.'s economy tanking so badly, what could possibly make them all want to
move back? I think Mexico would have to build some German style efficiency and some prosperity in order for that to happen - not more manana culture
or whatever it is that is so impossible for gringos to understand.
