    “The meeting request comes as a surprise since US/Argentina relations are not at their best”

    says http://atfa.org/ I think Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya and even Mexico are friends with the USA and look what's being done to them, I think the foreigners are still trading gold for “espejitos”, marco thinks that uncle sam will give his girlfriend a blond baby and build hollywood in his backyard. Argentina doesn't need terrorists coming to visit it's bad publicity, with the way the economy is going I doubt any Argentine president will ever be allowed to go back to the IMF or the paris club. I think the world got enought golden eggs from a now dead goose, PRESS RELEASE: ATFA Applauds President Obama for Opposing Loans to Argentina

    Administration Announces Opposition to All Loans to Coalition Releases New Ads Highlighting Administration's Announcement

    Following the Obama Administration's September 21st announcement that it will oppose all new loans from multilateral development banks to Argentina, American Task Force Argentina (ATFA) released new advertisements lauding the decision. The ads, which ran in Washington D.C.-based publications POLITICO and The Hill today, urge Congress to join President Obama in opposing aid to Argentina by cosponsoring the bipartisan Judgment Evading Foreign States Accountability Act of 2011.
    ATFA's ads underscore that the Administration's announcement has sent a signal to the Argentine government that the U.S. government would no longer tolerate Argentina's abuse of American creditors and the U.S. courts.
    maybe it's time for Argentina to say thanks but no thanks we done fine without them, or lets talk bridas and the gas pipes in Afghanistan.

    Two totalitarian Socialists meet and exchange tips on how to oppress the people and steal more money. I will have to say that CFK is the more accomplished crook (taking illegal money from Chavez, skimming the soybean revenues, media law muzzling dissent) so Obama has much to learn.

    Wesley, why do you keep saying that Obama is a socialist? Just a question

    Socialist parties in the United States reached their zenith in the early 20th century, but currently active parties and organizations include the Socialist Party USA, the Socialist Workers Party and the Democratic Socialists of America, the latter having approximately 10,000 members.

    Many socialists are pleased that Barack Obama has been elected president.

    Obama is not a socialist.
    But his election opens up the possibility of a new dialogue about where the United States is headed and how the USA can achieve the aims of a decent, more humane society.

    It seems she is spreading her legs but hes not in the customery position is he?
    I thought totalitarian states didnt have democratic elections?
    This board seems to attract alot of juvenile attention with silly illogical arguements from the likes of Anti Fascist and xbarilox.i guess thats what comes with propaganda sheets like this which is principally directed at the poor fools like the 17ooo from West Dumbarton who slave in the English defence forces

    Hi, Art.
    I guess one of the more humane acts recently is the financial etc support for those made homeless as a result of the crash.

    This is not going to be a pleasant meeting for CFK. I think the meeting is going to a dressing down telling her to pay the Paris Club, ICSID judgements and to toe the line or risk losing int'l memberships and blocking foreign trade. Argentina has lost all US support both in State Dept, Treasury and Congress. It will be fun to watch the spin.

    Poor Fredbdc...... Absolutely all what he has predicted about Argentina during the last 1 1/2 years has been wrong.
    No wonder he changed his name to something childish.........

    I doubt if Obama will dress down anybody - this is not the language of international diplomacy. He will be most polite, letting CFK know of all the opportunities that might come her way.
    Separately, a senior staffer will explain unambiguously to Timerman, that opportunities can only happen if Argentina acts in accordance with world norms - like paying the bills on time.

    I'm pretty sure it's Fred.
    Far too many similitudes in style, semantics and opinion to be a coincidence.

    I'm not sure, Think. Go over freerepublic.com, and you'll see many many, many fellows with extreme right-wing views expressed in an angry, borderline sociopathic style (like fred's), on just about any subject.

    The many similitudes in style, semantics and opinion are on a very well defined item:
