economy's woes, as layoffs at Mexican factories mount and families with relatives in the United States see a decline in remittances.Obama aides said the Calderon meeting was part of a long tradition of U.S. presidents meeting with the Mexican leader before their inauguration.Calderon plans to meet Bush on Tuesday.One of Calderon's priorities was to press Obama to follow through on a U.S. aid program launched by Bush in 2007 to help Mexico combat the drug trade. The Mexican president is battling drug traffickers blamed for killing 5,650 people last year.Calderon is also concerned about Obama's campaign promise to renegotiate North American Free Trade Agreement with Mexico and Canada. The deal has greatly expanded Mexican trade with its powerful neighbor since it went into effect in 1994 but is seen by U.S. unions as a cause of job losses in big industrial states like Ohio.Calderon told international business leaders at a summit meeting in November that restricting trade would only drive more Mexicans to move illegally to the United States.Obama did not mention NAFTA in his remarks to journalists and took no questions.(Editing by David Storey) Barack Obama.

The Denver Broncos have reached the halfway point of their 2009 season There have been a lot of changes this season. Some of those changes have been a little discouraging, but, for the most part, Broncos fans have a lot to be excited about.Some fans may be discouraged by the points the Broncos have allowed the past two games (58), but the scores are not completely indicative of a defensive failure.

They have definitely let up at the end, but they have been keeping the offense in the game for a long time. The Broncos had a legitimate chance of beating the Steelers for three-and-a-half quarters. The Steelers really poured it on those last seven minutes.I want to start by mentioning some positives about the Monday night game. Our defense continues to show that it has the ability to make big plays that can change the game.
Elvis Dumervil added to his number of total sacks when he was assisted by Darrell Reid on a 1st quarter sack of Ben Roethlisberger. Andra Davis and DJ Williams also tag teamed Big Ben to the ground.However, the biggest sack of the game came in the third quarter when Kenny Peterson sacked Roethlisberger, knocking the ball loose, and rookie Robert Ayers picked up the fumble and returned it for a touchdown. They continue to find ways to put pressure on the quarterback and take the ball away.So, why the let downs the last two weeks I am not one hundred percent sure, but I do have a theory on this. My first theory is that they have gone against two of the best offensive teams in the AFC and have been slightly outplayed. Still, they are making plays, especially in the Pittsburgh game. Also, in the thrilling wins against Dallas, New England, and San Diego, the Broncos’ second half defense was as bendable as a cinder block, but they had help from the offense.
