Time Magazine has Cristina Kirchner among the world’s top ten Female Leaders
Argentina’s Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner has been listed by Time magazine among the top ten Female Leaders of the world. Time says Mrs. Kirchner “has proven to be her own woman” having survived since elected in 2007 several serious standoffs.
“Elected President in November 2007 (thereby succeeding her husband Néstor), Fernández has proven she is her own woman. Dismissively referred to as “Cristina” by some members of Argentina's macho political elite, Fernández has survived a standoff with the country's powerful farming lobby, a fallout with the U.S. over a suitcase allegedly containing illegal campaign contributions and a series of high-profile economic-policy spats that culminated in the ousting of the governor of Argentina's Central Bank earlier this year. With her striking appearance and polarizing rhetoric, she inevitably draws comparisons with former First Lady Eva Perón”.
The list of Ten Top Female Leaders includes: Julia Gillard, Prime Minister of Australia; Johanna Sigurdardottir, Prime Minister of Iceland; Cristina Kirchner; Dalia Grybauskaite, president of Lithuania; Angela Merkel, Chancellor of Germany; Sheik Hasina Wajed, PM of Bangladesh; Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, President of Liberia; Tarja Halonen, President of Finland; Kamia Persad-Bissessar, PM of Trinidad-Tobago and Laura Chinchilla, president of Costa Rica.

Mercopress gives us the whole “Spectre of the Truth” :-)))
Of course........ of course.......!
The Kirchners are controlling the American press!
Surely financed by Hugo Chavez and backed militarily by the Klingon Empire....
Glen Beck ........anybody?
You should wonder why there are only 17 presidents in the whole world.
We can agree or not with cristina's policys, in fact there are some aspects of her government that i dont like in absolut, but no one can deny that she is a brave woman, she was the only argentine authority who made front to those powerfull corporations that are the true owners of argentina, beside she keeps on doing it.
On the other hand, if there are only 17 women presidents, my question is, why should she be included in the list of ten leaders, if she does not deserve it.
Yesterday it was publihed in mercopress an article by john talbot,i agree absolutly on what he say, search it if you want.
As always with this poster,.... he “thinks” he just can manipulate the numbers and nobody will notice... How naive...........
“Argentina's yearly inflation rate” becomes “monthly inflation”.... Millions invested“ become ”billions stolen“ .....” 14 million declared personal fortune“ become ”300 million U$D in undisclosed Miami Banks ......
Yankee he must be :-)

Why don't you re-read what I posted the key words are “President and Elected”
The article only speaks about “Female Leaders”
Countries with parlamentary democratic traditions“ appoint” their leaders and call them Prime Minsters.
Ever heard of Great Britain, Australia or Canada?
Silly silly Americans.....................
Give me a break, man !!!!
The one I´m missing to complete the joke is Bachellet !!!! LOL !!!
Please, be realistic...There are great ladies, extremely capables women that can run a country in this list, but CFK is not one of them.... Just read the articles published here about her gvt.
Bachellet is not a leader anymore, and yes I agree there extremely capables woman to run a country and President Cristina is INDEED in of them.
Education in Argentina it's free but dangerous. I think I was chatting with the brilliant Jorge and Axel about the state of the education system. I guess they forget to mention the falling skylights and the collapsing walls.
It's an opinion piece but still valid...

Argentina has some economic problems, we all agree on that.
Now if you want to find a country with no economic crisis, no debt, zero unemployment, no fiscal and trade deficits...
Well, you might find it in Jupiter or Saturn.
You have a fragil memory, or maybe you remember only what is convenient for you, i mentioned to you a couple of days ago about the deterioration of the buildings in public schools from buenos aires city, do you remember?.
In buenos aires city there are more than 400 public schools, and 22 of them are toke by the staudents, because they are protesting for the terrible conditions of those buildings, they made many petitions to the authoritys from the goverment, but any of their claims were toke into account, this is why they decided to take the schools.
Anyway, the deterioration of the public education sistem is not new, since the dictatorship untill 2002 there was a plan to decimate the budgets of the public education, only alfonsisn's government, and both governments of the kirchner made a great investment in the public education, this year the budget for education represents 6.5 points of the gnp, but there is still a lot to do.
You can already imagen what your friend mauricio macri would do with our public education sistem if he is elected as a president, now you can understand why i hope that fucking neoliberal and son of a bitch never becomes into our president.
And it's free!! So you get what you pay for.
