Not great substance wise, mostly People magazine BS. Interviewer is annoying.

Macri's english has gotten a lot better in the last few months.
 
It is so refreshing to hear a politician talk based on logic and stability - I'm not expecting magic from him because the starting point is unfortunately very bad for the country. The fact I don't have to hear Cristina screaching and flailing her hands around while talking complete BS is a great thing.
 
Stop Taking VIAGRA? was the most important message :)

When Macri went into politics should have hired an english public speaking coach, about ten years ago...! to improve his accent and assertiveness, well its never too late should do it NOW .

Well even in spanish he's not a charismatic speaker like you know WHO.

Stahl should have mentioned Macris Calabrese roots.. When you watch the 32 yo Mauricio with a moustache you can smell "La Calabria"...countryside.
 
Obama arriving soon . Macri can shine in English... :rolleyes:

Poor Che Guevara in the background "Que se revuelva en su tumba" ?? B) B)

I thought his English was surprisingly good and even colloquial at times. Definitely a bit of a fluff piece, but most Americans watching probably just learned 99.9% more about Argentina than they knew before. And no mention of tango!!!
 
I enjoyed that and yes, Macri's English has certainly improved. Not quite up to the level of Prat Gay whose English sounded much more fluent and relaxed, but great to hear anyway.
 
A lot of these statesmen as well as doctors here in Argentina have had American university educations hence their fluency. Macri maybe not?

Macri went to Wharton, though I can`t tell you if it was just a diploma programme or a full degree. Prat Gay I think went to Yale, but he also worked in the USA and was with JP Morgan (or Morgan Stanley, not sure when he was there) for years.

Anyway the fact of the matter is Macri`s government has many who speak at least some english and many who did their degrees abroad. Cristina had a bunch of people who barely finished high school, others who lied about their degrees, most who were total mafiosos and none of whom had much of a command of a foreign language, let alone english (although Scioli claims he can speak 4 languages -- Spanish apparently isn`t one of them, every time he speaks he can`t seem to string together a single coherent sentence).
