Newspaper headlines and prime-time TV interviews lauded Enrique Pe a Nieto after he won Mexico's 2012 presidential election. Time Magazine front covered him as "The Savior of Mexico." By the second year of his administration it had become obvious that the savior was a failure.

A Mexican journalist described their first personal encounter as "hard liquor vs. Koolaid" and added "hard liquor won."
