WACO, Texas U.S. President George W. Bush said Wednesday that he would work with any leader Mexicans elect even a leftist after a meeting with President Vicente Fox and Canadian Prime Minister Paul Martin.

"I am willing to work with whoever is chosen by the Mexican people," Bush said, responding to a reporter's question about his feelings regarding a left-leaning candidate winning Mexico's 2006 presidential elections. He added, "I know that Mexico is proud of its democracy."

Mexico City Mayor Andrés Manuel López Obrador, from the Party of the Democratic Revolution (PRD), has consistently led polls as the most popular potential presidential candidate in 2006.

López Obrador's followers praise his social programs, such as small pensions to the elderly, the disabled and single mothers, and his infrastructure and beautification projects in the capital. His opponents, however, accuse him of being a populist and say that his programs are unsustainable.

While some analysts here feel the conservative U.S. government might work to undermine the rise of a leftist government in Mexico, top U.S. officials such as Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice have denied this.

2. During the press conference yesterday, he referred...

to both visiting leaders as Presidents. Dumb ass! Canada has a PRIME MINISTER not a President. Typical of the verbally impaired dumb ass.

we're invading."

4. This is stunning, amazing news.

Many countries seem to be turning left. Uruguay was a recent one. also Venezuela. Spain recently elected a Socialist government.

Washington MUST be sweating bullets about this.

The tide is turning.
