Christine Lagarde is the bee's knees

Although she will most likely be viewed negatively by the world press and Wall Street due to her stark honesty, she is now a leading individual in the analysis and understanding of the world economy. She is also the managing director of the International Monetary Fund. Born in 1956, Christine Lagarde is one of those rare individuals that combines brilliance with pragmatism, which is illustrated by the fact that instead of using the IMF to trumpet a fractured world economy, she instead has very clearly illustrated its problems--namely Europe. Regardless, it would seem the IMF has found the right woman for the job--even though she probably won't make any friends on Wall Street. I think she's great.
