The health of the President of the Republic is a matter of national security. Their decisions affect, for better or for worse, the lives of Mexicans, and determine the political, economic and social with other countries. Therefore, the national security cabinet to worry about and deal with what happened a few days ago his boss Felipe Calderón, who, to a climate of terror and pressure by the threat of drug trafficking, has reached a mind to deny these facts and repeated insistently than before.
Two weeks ago, Calderon said in a dialogue with civil society organizations, who had never qualified as a "war" fighting the federal government holds against crime organized. Immediately, the media and exhibited denied the president-with photos and voice recordings-how since he came to Los Pinos has been repeated time and again that it is a "war" (sic) of the State against drug cartels.
This contradiction in the thinking of the Mexican president is not a minor thing and should be analyzed by a specialist medical staff, who must determine his state of physical and mental health for Congress to consider whether the chief executive is able to govern. Especially since the issue of organized crime and violence plaguing the country, with a balance of more than 34 000 performed in its four years of government, of which more than 15 000 were killed in 2010 - has been subjected to harsh criticism and pressure.

now desperate adversarial and bipolar in its governance, Calderón is the one who must undergo a clinical trial to determine whether treatment is adequate health conditions continue to take decisions about the direction of the country that are best for losmexicanos, or clarify if he is who has become "a danger to Mexico."
In the United States, the State Department agrees with the urgent need to review if Calderon is able to govern. So he did know the Secretary of State, Hillary Clinton, who, according to Wikileaks leaks on Mexico, asked in a cable dated December 2009 to report how they are affecting the personality of President FelipeCalderón and his way of ruling the adverse news of the "war" against drug trafficking and economic crisis in Mexico. Obama's government also believes that the mandatariomexicano can be a danger to U.S. national security.
