Argentina.
Dateline: Transfer of Presidential Power.
Dateline: From Husband to Wife.
Proudly!
United States.
Can da same happen in "God's own country"? But with its own unique variant: A wife taking office as President two-terms after her husband?
How many spouses can be proud running on the records of their spouses? And proudly hope to succeed them?
Germany.
Is it likely that a Chancellor will be so outstanding that her husband may be "drafted" to run in succession?
Academics, weren't they both? Put nothing past professors and da cosmic realms!
Proudly.

Make no mistakes about it, the world's financial system is in some real trouble. Big trouble. All we are told is not all, and much is being "hedged" or "hidden" by hope and hype.
Helped by surging oil prices and earnings, suppressed by surging "other" economies (read East, et al), the West is in some - at least banking - straits.
The USA's uncontrolled (perhaps uncontrollable) spendings on the so-called war on terror, led by huge costs in Iraq and Afghanistan as well as mind-boggling misspendings at home (read the GOA's reports), are subsumed under the historical toga of "da world's largest economy" to fuel mega-huge foreign borrowings.
Because of the unprecedented embarrassingly humongous foreign reserves of several sovereign states and corporates, the global system seems so elastic to accommodate the seeping scandals now masquerading as "write-offs" and "charge-taking".
Oh yes, heads are rolling alright, but what else do we know will roil...and roll? Plenty.
When da chickens start coming home to roost - as the sun sets on subsisting political careers - and the political batons prove to be poisoned chalices, more shocking things will happen, alas!
