I noticed the hype,too. Hey but when a person jumps on the MSM bandwagon without checking out the WHOLE story then that is what takes place.
Don't understand the PRESIDENT. He will survive this and I support him more than ever now. :)
The port sale bothers me, however, what bothers me more is the proposed pilot project of a Mexican government run customs facility in my city. While I'm not against free trade, global trade or whatever I am seriously concerned about the fact that the perimeter of our border is being moved from Laredo to Kansas City. Goods shipped from Asia will not have to stop at Laredo for inspection but will continue to Kansas City. KCSmartport estimate that there will be 600 trucks a day in and out of the West Bottoms area by 2012. While the Mexican government may not appear to be a security threat to my state or my country I question the wisdom of this "historic" arrangement.
