12. It's a shame USA Today used such an (inaccurate) title for an otherwise excellent piece.

It's almost as if the editor-in-chief wants the GOP to pick up that line of attack.

I commend the author though. He wrote one of the few news articles on the Obama homage that really covered all the major angles impartially and in just a few paragraphs.

Another one is Gastón Chiller who wrote this in the New York Times yesterday: http://www.nytimes.com/2016/03/24/opinion/what-obama-should-know-about-macris-argentina.html?_r=1.

Excellent. Really cuts through a lot of the corporate press fluff on the new "pro-business" (but anti-labor and democracy) Argentine president, Macri.
