Stunned, my beeber. the Dems have been meddling in Argentina for so long they probably knew it was coming before Kirchner decided to do it.

This administration is stunned when the sun rises in the east.They are even more stunned when they command the sun to stay at 12 o'clock high to illuminate their solar panels...and the sun says "screw you" and sets anyway.

Stunned? This issue was triggered by a conversation between Cristina Kichner and Exxon president last December. REPSOL was unwilling/unable to develop the Vaca Muerta oil field, and Argentina had to import oil last year.
Exxon's president told her that Argentina was on an "ocean of oil", and Cristina Kichner answered back that the Vaca Muerta oil field was well known, but could not be exploited. Exxon's president replied that the technology is already developed.
The Catalonian, Basque nationalist and the Socialist party members who took over the board of REPSOL after 3/11 have tasted a bit of their own medicine.

Never was a response to a global outrage more mealy-mouthed than the one from the U.S. after Argentina's President Cristina Fernandez de Kirchner, standing under a portrait of Evita Peron, announced a brazen grab for YPF, the Argentine oil company that's 57% owned by Spain's Repsol. That's because the Argentines upstaged the Great Anus' coup against our own oil patch.
He's still working on it here.

Maybe that was why she was dancing up a storm. She was celebrating a woman socialist kickin’ the old boys in the nutz.

Why would they protest? 0 longs to do that here.
Moreover, why are they surprised? Argentina seized their equivalent of 401(k)'s, pension funds, and IRA's in 2008; citizens got government IOU's denominated in rapidly-wasting Argentine currency, and capital controls on withdrawsals. Then the government spent it all.
See the articles at SilverBearCafe.com. (Cold link)
Obama organized hearings on doing the same thing here, a couple of years ago. Seize all the assets and roll them into Social Security ..... then everybody gets a little check periodically; they get put on the government dole, in lieu of their life's savings. And the Democrats get control of them: they can jerk people's chains anytime with talk about shutdowns and halting the printing presses because of the bad old Republicans.
Bill Clinton turned a couple of Reagan Democrats I knew into wild-eyed, fear-filled Republican-haters with that stunt. Just a twitch, a twist of the wrist from the Master ....
