OBAMA'S NEGLECT

During Tuesday's presidential debate, Gov. Mitt Romney brought up the
disastrous "Operation Fast and Furious," which has killed many
innocent Mexican people.

This failed U.S.-backed operation, which allowed guns to walk into
Mexico, has become the greatest scandal since Watergate.

Despite Romney's valid and timely mention, our current president
decided not to even counter or merely touch on the topic.

This should hardly surprise anybody. More than 100,000 people have
been murdered in Mexico since the drug war began almost six years ago.
This total is almost the entire population of Odessa.

Can we point to one administrative action taken from the Obama
administration in regard to helping lower the number of innocent
Mexican people being slaughtered?

Isn't it our guns and our illegal drug use that are at the root of
this war?

Yes, both governments are to blame. A new one that is about to enter
Mexico in six weeks could alter the climate.

However, if our current president is re-elected, count on no support
or an ounce of care toward all the dead in Mexico.
