ha I just think they did this so the US can't say they are the first ones to have a first lady be president

I don't see it being all that odd. It's not like she ran against her husband was it?

Would have been like Hilary running in 2000 instead of Gore I suppose.

Chants of "Viva Cristina" erupted from the public gallery after outgoing President Nestor Kirchner handed over the presidential staff to his wife.

Must.Resist.

"For me and for all Argentines, he will also continue being president," she said.


The first couple insisted she alone will make the decisions.

Seems a little contradictory doesn't it?

No, but he was able to run again...instead he seceded to her.

This isn't the first time in Argentina's history that the wife of the previous president becomes president. Isabel Peron became president after her husband Juan Peron died in office. She was president for about 2 years.
