	Michelle Bachelet: Hurtling Toward 100 Days (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-31)
		Bachelet has communicated her willingness to hear such concerns, stating that the overall goal of the two sides is a shared one.
		Most refreshingly, Bachelet seems to be leading her nation away from the grim past as she insisted that, “the country of hate and enemies…is now behind us.” The effectiveness of this approach is yet to be seen, but for the sake of nearly 16 million Chileans, reconciliation is desperately needed.
		Michelle Bachelet’s presidential style and thrust differ from that of Ricardo Lagos, with regards to her social policy but not in terms of the Chilean economic framework.
