She’s right you know. I wonder why she doesn’t have a youtube video illustrating this rant up yet?

Warren has the right message, goes hard after the Pig-Rich and has the passion but I’m surprised she nixed a presidential run. So, like you say, we’ll all get to see her million hit youtube highlights but all I see is a missed opportunity, win or lose.

I hope they put him in charge of payroll, for his vast experience at never once managing to pass the appropriations bills on time. See how the private sector likes it for once.

Well, access is worth big bucks from our corporate citizens.

She can still change her mind. HRC hasn’t announced yet. I am still hopeful.

So simple I’m surprised you don’t understand. She wouldn’t be saying this if she were running for president.

She’s doing a fabulous job as a United States senator. People tend to listen.

I do agree she can do much more where she is. Darcy knows, he just likes to be contrary, as you know.

Definitely a bipartisan problem that isn’t getting any better.

Great piece in NYmag on the issue:

Yeah, but it’s good to remind him that’s he’s being contrary.

Nothing new. Done all the time and will continue. Dirty Politics is the name of the game.

Me too. I hope she doesn’t ultimately end up a disappointment like DeBlaiso.

I don’t see that happening, but when I have positive feelings for a politician they seem to go to shit…

This is true. The “reform” in this realm offered by Obama turned out to be false. As if he, or ANY person is going to stop the gluttony and corruption. It was a good fake, though!

Obama White House “Explains” Exception to New Revolving Door Regulations

Cashing in after a stint in government is certainly not new, but that doesn’t make it any less disappointing that so many Obama administration officials are rushing to turn their public service into personal profit. The Center for Responsive Politics already counts 314 Obama administration officials who have passed through the revolving door between the public and private sectors, compared with 511 from George W. Bush’s eight years and 348 from Bill Clinton’s.

Cut me some slack girls, it’s just I feel Warren will disappear into the Progressive Caucus. Of course she’ll continue going after the banks but I’d rather have her on the world stage platform than a youtube soap box.

She’s a true believer when it comes to income equality.
I’m not impressed by her recent foreign policy statements, but I see them as a good indication that she has ambitions for the future.
