Watch how calmly Sen. Warren eviscerates CNBC panel..

If you have not already seen it...
This is such a rare occurrence for our side... Usually our people are always talked over and out shouted.
She had all the facts at her disposal which left the panel shaking their heads...

The president has to handle everything and can't focus on a few important things.
And the president can be blocked by congress as we all know.

She is able to really focus on the bank problem right now and is in a pretty good position as Senator to get something done.
A presidential run might be worthwhile at some point but I think she's got a better shot than a president would to achieve her current goals right now.

could ever give us. She could have wound up a bureaucrat, an agency head who wasted days testifying before meaningless committees. Instead, she's one of the senators doing the questioning and its all because of our Republican friends who refused to give her a straight up or down vote. She will populate Republican nightmares for the next thirty years because they were too stupid to just confirm her in a job she wanted. Sometimes, life's a bitch.

The sad thing is that she is so remarkable for simply "Doing her Job".
We should have 50 other Democratic Senators Doing Their Jobs too.

What Senator Warren is doing would be unremarkable,
and barely comment worthy if the other Democratic Senators were doing the job
they were elected to do.



You will know them by their [font size=3]WORKS,[/font]
not by their promises or excuses.

The so called news people she was talking to know what she saying was the truth. But their jobs depend on them pushing an agenda that represents the 1%. And they get paid a pretty dime.

I had to compile a complete media list: every TV, radio station, newspaper address, phone number, contact person, and fax#. Way pre-internet and a heck of a job!

This was when he was readying himself to take Olin Teague's House seat when he retired, which happened.

Wendy Gramm was my micro prof, very personable, very good teacher. She should probably be in prison for her Enron and FTC abuse, but nontheless, much more of a people person than he was.

Funny thing is, he was from Georgia, but his accent got thicker every decade.

Well, I have my personal failings, too.

I want her for President, but maybe she can do her VP job like The Dick Cheney, but only for the good of the country. She would be more flexible as VP to go onto other matters that she couldn't as Prez. She KNOWS what a VP does. We have to do the women's ticket in 2016. Fuck the men this time around. They've shown us they can't do the job, so down with men in 2016. Let's start our own war. And it CAN be done. There are still more of us than THEM. LOL!

55. CNBC is Wall Street's Whore
Mon Jul 22, 2013, 10:13 AM
Jul 2013

CNBC proved it could not be trusted, in general, with the financial meltdown in 2008.

CNBC people are nothing but Wall Street whores.

None of this is of surprise. That they haven't been discredited at large is what is most telling and disgusting. The fact that Jim Cramer posted that tweet demonstrates the arrogance of the criminal games played by these privileged pricks.
