Daughters Against the "first couple"

No, not against marriage Fernández-Kirchner. Yes, I think a mistake that Nestor has purchased $ 2 million. No "illegal" or "immoral", but an error. Wait to do business with your wife leaves office. Avoid it a mess. Yes, I think it would good, but not the solution to all our problems, that both the president and the president of the Central Bank put their money in a trust. But handling the issue, there are people far more qualified than myself think, so do not give to talk about it.

But one thing that bothers me is the reference to marriage Fernández-Kirchner as "presidential couple." I had seen before in the nation, but I read the blog RG , which always had egalitarian attitudes, and RG told me that Wainfeld also used . There marriage presidential. CFK you may like a lot, little or nothing. But is the president and was voted in free elections and competitive, not inherited the post. Yes, married to a former president. The two were active together, policies made together, and she was deputy and national senator. When, many years ago, I worked as a producer, we asked the press that they did not bring Nestor alone, because in Buenos Aires (where the rating is measured) did not know anyone, please come with Cristina.

Many commentators on the blog of RG did mention that they are married, she is president, Nestor would use to discuss whether the return to be president. I can not doubt that.

But I looked "presidential couple" on the website of The Nation (the seekers of other online newspapers are impossible). Between May 25, 2003 and December 10, 2007 (the mandate of Nestor), used it 207 times . Between December 11, 2007 and today, 2298 (ie, more than 10 times as much in half the time. The Fernández-Kirchner were married just as long). DLR Duhalde as both were married, Duhalde with a woman who does politics. The Duhalde government used the concept 9 times. In the DLR, 10 . As a measure is crude, because it filters out references to "presidential couple" to refer to other presidential couples (Sarkozy-Bruni, Rodham Clinton, etc). Per assumption that the number of presidential couples in the world is held constant, the increased use of the concept in the government of Cristina is in your case is more important to belong to a previous marriage. There are different types of marriages. There are marriages that are queried career decisions, there are marriages that do not. I suppose, but I have no way of knowing-that Nestor and Cristina are early. Now, she is responsible. Not " presidential couple. "
