Hi Prologic, I don't know about Calderon, but vicente didn't went to Hardvard, he even didn't have his Major when he was a presidential candidate, he got it a couple of months before the elections were held from the Universidad Iberoamericana and he majored in business administration even tho he started majoring when he was young he left his career until he wanted to become president of Mexico, here's the link, i'm sorry but I only found a link in spanish, i'm gonna translate that part and put it here tho

México - Presidencia de la República | Vicente Fox

He majored in business administration at the Iberoamerican University, Mexico city's campus. From this time he remembers that his Cowboy rural appeareance clashed with that of his classmates.

as an aditional information about Vicente's presidential term I can tell you that he did some good things, and he wasn't an opressive president like most of the ones before him were, however he was very stubborn and unwise, he spent most of his term getting into personal fights, first with the PRI which is one of the 3 strongest parties in mexico and the one who ruled for 71 years uninterrumpted and then with Lopez Obrador who was the rival of Calderon during the presidential race, he even had a fight with Calderon because Fox didn't want him to run for presidency because of that he had to resign his position as the Energy administrator on Fox's cabinet, Calderon has been a much better president during is short time imho, the main problem with Vicente is that he can't accept criticism or heed advice, he build an idealized image of himself and of the country he was serving.

People here call it foxilandia
