    Surely the idea of her standing for re-election is now dead in the water? Get ready for the Maximo revolution.

    She will do everything within her legal powers and then some to remain President.

    Anybody remember the bleat of 'I won't be your president in 2015 and don't change the constitution for me' that TMBOA droned on and on about.

    You knew then that the truth was the opposite of what she said.

    I hope she goes for it; anyway this idea that the constitution (est 1994!) is somehow sacred and immutable for all time is hardly “Radical”!

    TMBOA seems to be the real “Sacred Cow”, though.

    What quastions are the students likely to ask?

    “What hurts more - Botox or collagen injections?”

    ....or are they more likely to go for the jugular with an incisive political question?

    #7 Are you serious? These are students they paid 50k a year for at least four years to one of the most elite education instiutions in the world. These students are wanting to impact the world. Do you really think they are going to ask her if she dyed her hair to match autumn in NYC?

    I would bet a big subject will be media harassment.

    CFKis ignoring judicial process and ordering Clarin to break up on Dec 7th.... SCARY!!

    This country is quickly sliding into a Dictatorship if it is not there already. If I was a citizen I would be extremely concerned.

    A waste of time. There will be no constitutional reform and no reelection. Not enough votes in congress.

    12. That would make sense in a civilized country but in Argentina votes are sold for U$50K a piece when CFK needs them...

    Im think you are right Yankee. I think they are really going to come down on her and her repression of the freddom of the press, removing the indignous people and curruption. Maybe I will take a ride over to Cambridge Square Thursday and see if there are any protests.

    Here in Argentina we are heavily protesting the Kirchner administration, their endless corruption in every corner of the government, stealing of public funds, outright lies to the public about everything from security to the economy to official inflation figures.
    Today we start a new protest in Argentina - it's called the “ANTI-KK campaña”. In our language “KK” is pronounced KaKa, and that is what we think of the Kirchner administration.
    We ask all citizens against the Kirchner “KK” regime to leave a bag of excrement or bring your dog to defecate on the steps of Congress, on the steps of the Casa Rosada, or in front of the door of any office of “La Cámpora” or another militant organization of this joke of a president called “Kolina”.
    Leave bags of excrement, or garbage or any other repulsive, non-dangerous item that stinks on the steps of or in front of any of these government related places. This is a peaceful protest, non-violent, and will send a strong message to the “KaKa” government that is destroying lives in Argentina.
    KK para todos en el gobierno!.......

    We don’t mind her getting insulted, upset , pissed off, or humiliated,

    As long as she does not act like a child and take it out of the Falklanders.

    Can Maximo fit into Tango 1, or will FAA have to procure a C-17 and a bulldozer to shove him in through the rear when the ramp is down?

    I would be worried if I was the loadmaster.

    She spent 5 minutes talking about the US Ambassador, IMF is picking on them, FIFA is better than IMF in being organized, BRAGGING about 14$% of debt to GDP.....of course after defaulting and being a deadbeat borrower, even bragged about paying out more than Enron.....lol. She even often to teach the world the lessons they learned from having debt.....lol.
    She didn't look like a French street whore, just an old hag. Her cheeks sag more than her chest. two or three minutes about the Falklands........she is allotted 15 minutes and still blowing hot air beyond 40 minutes. A lot of nothing! I never thought stupid people can speak and ramble about nothing for so long.
