Obama Meets Mexico's President Calderon

The presidents of Mexico and the United States met in Washington today to try to improve relations the two countries, which have suffered over the release of US diplomatic cables critical of Mexico's handling of its drug war and last month's murder of an American law enforcement officer on a busy Mexican highway. At a joint press conference, President Obama pledged to stand with President Calderón in that country's bloody drug war.
