Mercopress gives us the whole “Spectre of the Truth” :-)))
The list that is AKA “The List of Female Leaders Whose Name We Can Remember”
Sep 09th, 2010 - 11:02 am - Link - Report abuse 0Either Time Magazine doesn't check what its journalists write, or it's getting paid for publishing such an incredible article. To put Mrs. Kirchner among the ten top female leaders it's at best sophistic, at worst sophomoric. She's not only useless, she's a hindrance to the country.

Sep 09th, 2010 - 11:32 am - Link - Report abuse 0Of 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?
Good old Maggie would be number one in the all time top ten
Sep 09th, 2010 - 12:29 pm - Link - Report abuse 0There are only women Presidents17 and of that 12 were elected. It would be hard NOT to be in the top 10! What a dumb article. Time is going the same route as Newsweek a doomed lefty publication of no importance.

Sep 09th, 2010 - 03:09 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You 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.

Sep 09th, 2010 - 03:33 pm - Link - Report abuse 0As 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 key words chosen by “YOU” are “President and Elected”
Sep 09th, 2010 - 04:31 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The 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?

Sep 09th, 2010 - 05:03 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Either way, The artical is pretty silly when there is only 17 female leaders.

Sep 10th, 2010 - 01:20 am - Link - Report abuse 0Give 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.
@sergio vega
Sep 10th, 2010 - 04:36 am - Link - Report abuse 0Bachellet 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.
and another building falls down in BA killing 2 kids and injuring 29, how many has it been this year? Didn't a Gym fall down last month? Do Argentinian building inspectors, Police, high government officials give back the bribes they take to pass the building when it falls down and kills people? Morons.
Sep 10th, 2010 - 10:41 am - Link - Report abuse 0CFK is a female leader, like it or not!!! Bachelet is not anymore and the wanna-bes female leaders are just not female leaders. End of story!
Sep 10th, 2010 - 11:53 am - Link - Report abuse 0CFK is a great leader indeed!
Sep 10th, 2010 - 01:46 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Education 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...

At the dawn of a new century, the effects of inequality continued to thread through and differentiate the landscapes of education in the United States as poverty, racial bias, and the reluctance of taxpayers to invest in infrastructure confounded hopes for constructing public architecture, including public schools

Cristina Kirchner is a great leader, period.
Sep 10th, 2010 - 05:27 pm - Link - Report abuse 0Argentina 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.

Sep 10th, 2010 - 06:57 pm - Link - Report abuse 0You 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.
oviously she is not such a bad president after all, as long as Argetines like her who cares what the britards say think her, pirats opinions are irrelevant in Argentina.
Sep 10th, 2010 - 08:41 pm - Link - Report abuse 019 fredbdc, there problems with buildings, but educational system is not bad at all! We have every year more and more foreing students, majority of them chilean, many of them colombians, peruvians and brazilians. Why do you think that happens? Apart from the fact argentine education is free, of course!
Sep 13th, 2010 - 12:19 pm - Link - Report abuse 0It is pretty hard to learn anything if you have to worry about skylights falling on your head. HAHAHAHA
Sep 14th, 2010 - 01:47 pm - Link - Report abuse 0The Argentine education system is indeed in a poor state. Just look at comments (23), (24) and (25).
Sep 14th, 2010 - 04:21 pm - Link - Report abuse 0And it's free!! So you get what you pay for.
