I was more interested in the comment:

“has one of the best public opinion ratings as an honest, transparent, trusted candidate for any post including president. . . . . but will never make it because he’s not at ease with the Argentine political system.”

I guess the system never changes if the only people that are part of it are the ones that are at ease with it.

And Mercopress...

“they may have some disagreements, but they know each other and they’ve worked together for a long time”

How is that not true? Why is that “downplaying”? ...oh that's right, you can't answer our questions, you just delete our posts any time you're found to be wrong. ;-)

If the US had an actor as President , we can have an ex Formula 1 pilot to run the country. I agree with Geoff, he is too honest to be a politician ..... I would compare Reuteman with Ron Paul.
