In 2009 Matt Taibbi called for Elizabeth Warren to run for POTUS.
He had noticed how Obama was reneging on progressive campaign promises like closing Gitmo and drug re-importation, but it was Obama's unwillingness to take on Wall Street after the biggest economic downturn since the Great Depression that made Warren the most appealing candidate:
Elizabeth Warren’s Rise Is a Plus for Issue Politics — And a Bad Sign for Billionaires
"Warren, a rare high-finance literate among national politicians, seemed like the person needed to lead an economic reform effort after the crash:
"'We need someone … to re-seize the Party from the Wall Street interests that have come to dominate it … [Someone] who will know the difference between real regulatory reform and a dog-and-pony show, and will not be likely to fill a cabinet with bankers from Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley.'"
Any viable candidate who wants to tightly regulate banks, dismember Amazon and Google, and tax the hell out of both major party's donor base seems like a bad sign for all economic parasites.
