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.
