“Calderon”, the political cartoonist at Reforma, couldn’t resist using the controversial Spanish Burger King Texican Whopper ad to comment on the Obama visit.   As Laura Martinez kindly explains to those who can’t read Spanish, it says “United by bullshit”.

The Obama-Calderon talks resulted in a couple of carefully worded statements full of loopholes, like “Should Congress fully fund these requests, we anticipate requesting the remaining funding,” and an agreement to  “launch a Bilateral Framework.”

I won’t hold the pickle, I won’t hold the lettuce… and I won’t hold my breath waiting for a substantive change in U.S. – Mexican relations either.
