Heaven Is a Place Called Elizabeth Warren

[Lakhota]

By REBECCA TRAISTER, November 18, 2011

On the campaign trail in Massachusetts last month with the Senate candidate Elizabeth Warren, I bore witness to acts of extreme giddiness: a 20-year-old student jumping up and down, exclaiming, “Oh, my God, I am obsessed with her”; a third-year law student of Warren’s comparing her to a superhero (“Wonder Woman wishes she could be Professor Warren”); a man stopping Warren on the street and introducing himself as the guy who recently passed her a mash note on a plane (“I was hitting on you,” he said).

Warren has been something of a left-wing idol for a couple of years now. While heading Congressional oversight of TARP, she more than anyone asked tough questions about what, exactly, was done with all that bank bailout money. And on her subsequent mission to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau — which was designed to enforce long-ignored rules meant to protect consumers entering into everything from credit-card agreements to mortgages — Warren became a regular guest of Bill Maher’s and Jon Stewart’s, and both went weak for the straight-talking professor. Stewart told her he wanted to make out.

But this fall, at exactly the time our economic forecasts started souring again and Barack Obama appeared to be at his most ineffectual, Warren’s entrance into the race for Ted Kennedy’s old seat turned her from a cult-hero crusader into something far bigger. A clip of Warren at a fund-raiser in Andover, Mass., talking about how “there’s nobody in this country who got rich on his own,” reminded liberals that there was someone out there who could still articulate a muscular progovernment worldview. “If more Democrats were able to make the case for the underlying social contract as effectively, our discourse would be vastly less mind-numbing,” wrote Steve Benen in a Washington Monthly article that summed up what many liberals across the country were feeling.

And on her subsequent mission to create the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau How much more debt will this add to the already doubled amount?— which was designed to enforce long-ignored rules meant to protect consumers entering into everything from credit-card agreements to mortgages — Warren became a regular guest of Bill Maher’s and Jon Stewart’s, and both went weak for the straight-talking professor.

Yall never cease to disappoint.

We have vast, economy crushing debt.
A government so large, we can't pay it's bills.
UE above 9%
An economy stuck in park.

and you want more of the same that got us there and will make it worse.

Better have that clap checked out...

So you have nothing but made up fake attacks.

Seems to me that you know what the libs and dems are doing is wrong and that you simply lack the manhood to admit it.

Shame really.

Democrats may be spineless, but Republicans are EVIL.

Democrats may be spineless, but Republicans are EVIL.

The leader of the Dem party murdered a US citizen and I have yet to come across a single one of you that cared that he broke the law and Constitution to do so.


Care to site a source about "evil" reps?

Uhm

A truthful moment please, not some made up fake accusation.

 

[The Rabbi]

Elizabeth Warren is an ugly bitch. Her tenure at the new consumer protection bureau was cut short because there is no way she could get a Senate approval. She is a socialist/leftist who needs to stay at Harvard.

 

[editec]

I'd probably vote for her.

Lakota is such a drooling idiot. Apparently, it recently escaped its restraints.

How easily impressed you are.

 

[RadiomanATL]

Is this the same Elizabeth Warren who was 100% behind the occupy movement.....until the occupy movement wanted to occupy Harvard?

Then the story became "Mamma bear don't shit where she eats, GTFO you dirty hippies".

You know that was really uncalled for. Two Thumbs may be a conservatives but he argues points, not people.

Warren's been correct about every economic meltdown she predicted. And she makes no bones about going after people in her own party. She went after Clinton with a vengence.

It would have been both a smart move and the right move to let her head up the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. But republicans blocked her appointment because they hated the fact the bureau was created and were in obstructionist mode. Well that's going to probably cost them a Senate seat. And one that was solid at that.

Ibrahim Adam was a terrorist and planning more attacks. He was wanted by the US. He was "murdered" in the same fashion a criminal is murdered when he resists arrest.

What hypocrisy? Seriously.

She agreed with the movement when it went after financial institutions because she agreed with it. When it turned it's sites on education..she didn't agree with it.

Does one have to be in lockstep agreement with everything a movement is doing?

Again..I point you back to her criticism of Clinton. She does agree with some of the things that he was doing. Just not all of it.

That's valid. That's not hypocrisy.

I don't know many LEOs who put hits out on the wanted, like al-Awlaki.

"Wanted Dead or Alive" is so two centuries ago.

So she only supports it when convenient. Got it
