Obama may not be the Messiah everyone was hopping for but comparing Obama's political agenda with Peron's political times of 60 years ago is totally abalone, Argentina is not USA and USA is not Argentina culturally and historically are two different countries.
If eventually the fall of grace the EE.UU become a reality it will be because of greed, intolerance, corruption and arrogance of the the political and financial class of that country and not because Peron's political structures and doctrines as this so called journalist implies, what a moron..
In the Peron's era Argentina shoot off to become one of the more technically advanced and socially equilibrated societies in this continent with a substantial social middle class base developing many new socially first progress structures to fight poverty and equality of class above any latinoamerican country of that time, unfortunately the internal opposition from those who were loosing they grip on the strings of power (the very rich and elite class of landlords) confabulated behind the curtains and orchestrated the dismiss and fall by a military coup of his government, then come the dark ages of this country until the new democratic process took over couple of decades ago but corruption remained after so many years of favoritism and corrupted politicians until the present days, probably this will be overcome in the not so distant future but unfortunately still with us in many aspects of our society.
Obama probably will fail mostly in his many attempts to revive and restore the power and prestige of that nation had enjoyed for so many years this is nor a certainly but it's a very real scenario and if this become a reality that will be the heavy price it had to pay a nation who become for better or worse an empire at his end, the ride of good times will fade away and decay will take over, infrastructure and society will suffer as Argentina very well knows all which may come very fast at the present situation and times indeed. But as a Phoenix it will rise from the ashes to become a great nation again but now more down to earth and not so pretentious, arrogant and influential on other nations as before.
