Argentine president defends govt in first news conference AFP via Yahoo News

Cristina Kirchner used the first news conference by an Argentine president in five years to defend her government after facing the biggest political crisis of her eight month old presidency. Kirchner was dealt a major blow last month when she was forced to drop a plan to raise taxes on the country s vital grain exports after the senate rejected it following four months of protests by farmers. Despite the turmoil the proposal created Kirchner expressed no regrets. I would do it again she told more than reporters on Saturday who gathered for the rare news conference. For the first time since returning to democracy in the institutions were able to seriously discuss . a law that for the first time relates to the redistribution of income Kirchner said. Kirchner took office in December succeeding her husband Nestor Kirchner who never held a news conference in his four years in power.

Not much on my mind right now, but I guess it doesn't bother me. I just don't have much to say these days. I've just been staying at home doing nothing. I've more or less been doing nothing worth mentioning. Shrug.
