In other words...feck off. It's none of Argentina's business who the Americans choose to run their organisations.

Oh and Argentina says that ATFA is slandering it. Well firstly I don't think Argentina know what slander is, because ATFA mostly write about Argentina (thus it would be libel), and secondly Argentina would have to prove that everything that ATFA said about Argentina was incorrect for it to be slander or libel.

Of course that is something Argentina can't do, because everything that ATFA says about Argentina is the truth, the whole truth and nothing but the truth.

Did CFK think that her inane scribblings would change anything? Could she not see that her inanities constitute libel? (Slander is spoken, libel is written, printed, published etc.) Will Ms Soderberg now choose to start libel proceedings? Libel by a Head of State? Got to be worth at least 100 billion US dollars.

We were in Uruguay checking it out when Hillary Clinton did her tour.

I will never forget what she was quoted as saying about TMBOA: “is the woman mentally ill?”

She didn't “mis-speak” on that one.

yeah, whimpy...

typical 'mush' from obama-land in fact... bland, boring, sitting on the fence, says lots, does nothing, avoid any controversy, agree with everybody if you can... wet, mushy, limp, weak... whimpy.

They need to elect somebody with a proper backbone.

This is just a response given by a spokesperson, presumably in response to a question at a press briefing. It's probably not THE response. But in any event, with today's election results Obama must have more to worry about than an argenteenagram produced for domestic consumption in Argenteena.
