MY SAY: ISABEL PERON AND CRISTINA FERNANDEZ DE KIRCHNER
Do these ladies remind you of the Democratic front runner (so far) for 2016??????rsk
María Estela Martínez Cartas de Perón is better known as Isabel Perón. She was the third wife of the former President, Juan Perón who had a taste for tarts. During her husband’s third term as president from 1973 to 1974, Isabel was both vice president and First Lady.

Cristina Elisabet Fernández de Kirchner is the current Presidenta of Argentina and widow of former president Néstor Kirchner. She succeeded her husband when his term ended. Unlike Isabel Peron, she was actually elected by a sizable margin, pledged to continue her husband’s thuggery and “redistribution” of national funds. Néstor Kirchner worked alongside his wife, Cristina. The press called their arrangement a “presidential marriage.” She was a great pal of Hugo Chavez and other assorted despots and ruined Argentina’s economy with corruption, falsification of public statistics, harassment of Argentina’s independent media and use of the tax agency as a censorship tool.
She is in the news now because of the “assisted suicide” of Alberto Nisman who charged that she conspired with Iran to cover up the nation’s deadliest terrorist attack.
In the October 2007 general election she obtained 45.3% of the vote and a 22% lead over her nearest rival, avoiding a runoff election. She was inaugurated on 10 December 2007, and was re-elected to a second term in the first round of the October 2011 general election, with 54.1% and 37.3% over the next candidate, Hermes Binner.
