I am not Patient

[sheshe2]

GO Elizabeth!

In her first interview with The Boston Globe since winning the election, she has revealed her governing philosophy.


“Here’s how I see this,” Warren said. “My job is to be effective on behalf of Massachusetts, and so what I’m trying to parse through is the difference between how much of this is about your own initiative, how much it’s about finding other bills that are really what you’d like to see get done and offering to be helpful, [and] how much it’s looking for the little cracks that are windows of opportunity.” [...]

“I’m not patient,” she said, as if to assure supporters she won’t be tamed. “I’m not patient.”

But she said she will choose her tactics carefully, keeping quiet when it suits her objective and making noise when she sees the need.

“I don’t think those are inconsistent,” she said. “I want to use every tool in the tool box because I want to help get things done. And sometimes the best way to do that is quietly, let everyone else take credit and, sometimes, it’s to be willing to stand outside and call everyone out over it. I’m open to any part of that.”

If that sounds familiar, it’s because that is exactly how President Obama has governed

1. Good for her! I've always said:

Patience is a virtue - it just never happened to be my virtue. We need people who aren't afraid to come out fighting for what they believe. Here's hoping that the politics of Washington won't douse her fire.
