  7. -11-05-05 Argentines Not Supportive of Bush (Christian Science Monitor)
      "President George Bush finds little respect in Argentina. In some ways, the Guevara comparison is unfair. History hasn't judged Bush yet, and analysts here note that Argentina's favorite son benefits from a mythological status that allows vendors to sell Che T-shirts for $40 in London and New York. But there are revealing distinctions about Latin Americans' views of the freedom each symbolizes." 'What about Iraq, which Bush describes as a war of liberation from a detested dictator? 'He did that for the oil,' says the affable vendor. 'Surely people in America know that.' " 11-05

  10. -10-07-13 Editorial: The Debt Ceiling Crisis Threatens Our Quality of Life (Time.com)
      "The key reason that Americans are able to buy homes at low interest rates, travel abroad for spring break, have flat screen TVs in several rooms, and pay the same amount for groceries every year at Wal-Mart is that the credit of the U.S. is good. That’s what allows us to keep the dollar high and borrowing costs lower than our debt levels, growth prospects, and frankly, political competency, would otherwise allow. Once that trust is gone, it’s often gone for good—just ask Argentina, which is still paying through the nose to borrow money thanks to a default that happened twelve years ago."

      "Unfortunately, the markets are already starting to price in the loss of trust in the full faith and credit of the US government. As politicians continue to wrangle over the shutdown, U.S. sovereign credit markets are increasingly worried about default. You can see it in the anxiety provoking little bump that reflects the interest rates paid out on U.S. Treasury bills. The lower the rate, the safer the bet is considered by the markets, and vice versa. Our bill bump is flat until about October 17th, when the government is expected to run out of money. It then starts to swell, and continues swelling into November—meaning the markets think that we’re more likely to default." 10-07-13

  13. President Cristina Kirchner (Wikipedia.org)
      "In the October 2007 general election, Fernández ran for the presidency of Argentina, representing the ruling Front for Victory party. She won with 45.3% of the vote, a 22% lead over her nearest rival. This was the widest margin obtained by a candidate since civil rule was reinstalled in 1983, and avoided the need for a runoff election.[2] She is Argentina's first elected female President, and the second female President ever to serve (after Isabel Martínez de Perón, 1974–1976)."
