#1 Critics of Kirchner's administration charged it with corruption, crony capitalism, falsification of public statistics, harassment of Argentina's independent media and use of the tax agency as a censorship tool.

Chalk up another failure of socialism/communism but no matter there are still those who clutch their gun-control meme and little red Mao book. Kirchner, the second woman President (the first being Isabel Martínez de Perón, 5th grade drop-out and former nightclub dancer and leftist). Kirchner is a leftist. Sounds like Kirchner took a page out of Obama's Alinsky playbook.
