Raquel GARRIDO

Please refrain from inviting her as a guest on your show. It is painful to listen to her endless emotional rants that rarely even answer the question posed to her. I turned your show off after her diatribe about Argentina and austerity measures. Will someone please explain to her that Argentina is not Europe? I believe on another show she displayed an embarrassing lack of understanding of what is happening by saying that France just needs to tell the markets that it (France) will dictate the terms of their agreement if they (the markets) want to do business with France. Most of your guests, in my opinion, are of high caliber and offer thoughtful and insightful responses. Raquel GARRIDO, in my opinion does not share these qualities. Please do not invite her again!
