democratic hoping supporters votes
What I am hoping for is votes from intelligent and democratic PRD supporters who want change,
achieve ask began changing country fear lose offers people prefer private respect true understand vision wonderful
There are people who in private ask us to respect the confidentiality of their donations, and we do, because we understand the fear they have of being repressed, just as I was when I began in politics. Important businesspeople often lose the vision of the wonderful opportunities this country offers if we achieve a true democracy-they prefer short-term benefits. The ones who ARE changing are women. They have a very different vision.
applaud change dare medium size
Change will not come from above, it will come from below, from the small and medium size businesspeople. They do dare to show their faces. They applaud us and help us financially.
agreement country largest markets mexico open states time trade united
Mexico is the only country in the world that has a trade agreement with United States and Canada, and at the same time has one with Europe. These are the two largest markets in the world. By the same token, Mexico has one of the most open economies.
built change citizens eye face former hide key practices presidents run work
I think that in Mexico, we must change some practices that were built during the 72 years of predominance in Mexico. Former presidents would just hide away, run away or disappear.

The pension issue is a priority for my government and also a priority for our economy,
governing job people strategic time
To me, governing is communicating. That facilitates the whole job because I can listen, I can hear what people have to say, and at the same time I can let them know what are we working on, what is our strategic line, and where are we going.
attend capacity issues leadership mixed obama showing solve thoroughly time
Obama is thoroughly mixed up with all these things he's got. He's got to solve Libya. He's got to solve Afghanistan. He's everywhere. And this nation, I don't know why it's not showing the leadership and capacity to attend different issues at the same time.
achieve causes commitment count enabling experience invaluable mankind noblest since vast
You may count on Mexico's support, since your commitment to the noblest causes of mankind and your vast experience are and will be invaluable in enabling us, together, to achieve a better world.
among business clear conquer consumers create deliver demands high leaders people purpose return understand
I think one purpose is very clear among corporations and business leaders: make profits, deliver high return for stockholders, conquer markets, service consumers and create jobs. But in today's world, demands from corporations and leaders are much more than that. We need to understand what people really want at the very end.
blacks capacity doubt full men mexican united willpower women work
There's no doubt that Mexican men and women full of dignity, willpower and a capacity for work are doing the work that not even blacks want to do in the United States.
