    As soon as we get Odumbo out of office we will be rocking again so it will be at least another year 1/2. Can't have a Socialist running a Capitalist country.

    Yes Fred, please bring back Bush(if possible) to finish the “wonderful” job he started in that capitalist country. No wonder so many Americans and British are moving down here lately.

    These data may be true, they may be false.
    Unfortunately, INDEC is SO untrustworthy now that nobody can believe a word INDEC says.

    We certainly know car sales for August increased from 61599 in August 2010 to 81,130 in august 2011.Thats a 39% increase while Europe and North america slump.Spanish car sales in August were under 50,000 with a larger population.Spanish car sales for the first nine months of the year were 625502 compared to Argentinas 672,345.These are astonishing figures which show us the incredible growth of the Argentine economy over the past number of years

    These are astonishing figures which show us the incredible growth of the Argentine economy over the past number of years
    So fantastic, that perhaps the new and emerging great Argentina, may like to bail out Greece,
    After all, its only money, and according to the experts, Argentina has plenty of it,
    Just a thought .

    “My Governor”, after making his decision to run for President was at 38% in the polls , when he started talking and “shooting from the hip”, went down to 13%. Come on Rick, we do need another cowboy in the White House !!! :-)

    Who said Obama is a socialist? He followed most of Bush's policies , gave money to Wall Street (so they can pay themselves more in bonuses), stayed in Iraq and Afghanistan, reduced government jobs, did not close Guantanamo like he promised, continue with the tax cuts for the rich, etc, etc.... so again , how is he a socialist?

    INDEC says ”The Lada Team (´71) is in pole position in the Cuban Grand Prix.“

    ”Quick, dear, contact TAM and see if there are any seats left“
    ”Darling, you´re so gullible.”
