    ck: “...“the best tribute we can pay to him is to keep working for the wellbeing of all Argentines...”
    Yes! with 40 % inflation, 15 to 25 % interest for credits, and filling the pockets of the ck-gang - the robberment - as long as possible, no foreign money to make holiday abroad, with arrogance and import restrictions to survive the madness of the country. with corruption on a high level by the ck-gang.
    and with many Mr. Báez´who help the kirchnerites to widen their fortune.

    And yet despite what she has done,
    many millions of argies still think she is the one??

    and millions more have to suffer her incompetence.

    Now that Soy sales are over and Auto sales are nil we're going to see the tiny float BCRA has been using quickly dry up.

    They have started denying U$ exchanges and it will only get worse.

    Anyone remember when the Int'l companies can repatriate their U$ held in Arg? I am pretty sure it was this month.

    If they are banned from xfering I can see them packing up and leaving.
    That would be a fitting end to the K nightmare.

    If the Kirchnerites had of had some cajones in 2002 the austerity measures needed to fix the mess would have been completed. However, looking to be another Evita, Kristina and company have only prolonged the misery of the people that have looked to her and her corrupt cronies for leadership and salvation. Someone has to make the hard decisions, accept responsibility, and get the country back on track... Unfortunately the government will continue to buy the votes of the non-productive and will most likely prolong the death spiral of one of the highest potential Latin country.

    I just love that photo, where do MP come up with them?

    I know this woman is demented but: ”The Argentine president headed an official ceremony in the Women’s Room, FFS!

    Anyway it's the usual 'it wasn't us, it was somebody else' ploy, the one the morons always fall for.

    The crash is on it's way and I hope it's big enough to stop these idiots in their tracks. They cannor run the country when everything should have been OK, they stand NO chance in difficult times.

    Her knife has gone into the back of the governor of Mendoza because he disagrees with her...after kissing her ass all these years. She is like a child...stops speaking to people who supported her the minute they disagree with her...remember Cobos??

    I think CFK is doing a great job and should be given another 4 years to complete the task. As this is not possible I nominate Hilarious Hector for El Presidente. Chuckle...Chuckle.

    She is the best thing since slice bread for the people of the Falkland Islands, we want her to stay for as long as possible.

    She will take all argturds back to the stone age where they belong.

    They voted the mad cow in so now let them all pay the price.

    Looking forward to reading about argturds starving to death on every street corner.

    “as she called on the country to defend the achievements of the last 10 years”

    Truly great achievements don't need defending until people start to take them for granted. What the K's have achieved is fragile at best. It could all be undone by the next government which may not be a bad thing.

    Arg has done its duty. Judge Griesa needs to be thrown out. As for Elliot Mngmt Capital,well the money that is owed them would better be utilized by Argentina than by Elliot Mgmt.
    As for ExPat 1987 you 've had a series of turds governing UK for ages-that's why we got rid of you 240 years ago. Every day your papers talk of malnutrition among your children. That does not exist in Argentina. Hey Ex Pat GO SIT IN THAT CHAIR!

    , @10. How about Hilarious Hector as a replacement for CFK? He's got to be worth a belly load of laughs. I particularly like Hector's remarks when he had his meetings in London where he was castigated by British MPs and had a meeting at the Embassy that was attended by a left wing Labour MP, Castro and a bloke from the Guardian. He regarded his visit as a success! Chuckle.

    “cajones” means “drawers” in the furniture sense. I think you were looking for “cOjones”, right?

    CFK is the most entertaining clown I will ever laugh at.

    Not even Hugo Chavez was a greater buffoon.

    MercoPress will be boring when she leaves office.

    Surely the photo is crying out for a caption competition.

    To which I suggest...
    “yes we have zero foreign currency reserves”

    WTF???? Surely, she should have being doing this from the moment she bought her way into the office of president, not stealing from the taxpayers and going on extended shopping trips to Paris.

    #32 Cristina Fernandez pledges “to adopt the most suitable measures for Argentina”
    We can all be sure that whatever measures she regards as most suitable will NOT include the right measure, the only one that will restore argentima's reputationa and good fortune.

    She and the rest of her dead beat government aren't capable of doing that.

    “Every time that Argentina has become viable, that is when the missiles and permanent bombardments begin” said the Argentine president, also known as the queen of wounded ducks...
    Like Israel??
