Lawrence ODonnell asked Elizabeth Warren about Scott Browns statement that Mitt Romney is in an income category that people dont understand. ODonnell asked Warren if she understood Romneys income category, and she answered, Yeah, actually, I think I do understand it, and that is that Mitt Romney pays fourteen percent of income in taxes, and people who get out there and work for a living pay twenty five, twenty eight, thirty, thirty three percent. I get it. Mitt Romney gets a better deal than any of the rest of us, because he manages to earn his income in a way that has been specially protected for rich folks. I think thats wrong.

Some people may think there was nothing amazing about what Warren did, but consider that she managed to gut the entire premise of a presidential campaign in less time than most campaign ads run in. Elizabeth Warren effectively undid what it has taken Mitt Romney and his supporters millions of dollars to build.
Mitt Romney, Scott Brown, the Republican Party, and their conservative billionaire backers have a problem, and her name is Elizabeth Warren.

(50,327 posts)3. I watched her interview and...
she completely encapsulated the real issue in one fell swoop, succinct and easily understood. It really was something to see and hear.
Ms. Warren was very impressive throughout the whole interview. She was also on The Daily Show on the 24th, I think it was the 24th, and, again, she was so passionate and knowledgeable it was a joy to see and hear her.

(25,966 posts)5. I think one advantage Warren has...
is that she isn't weighed down by any pointless and futile desire for Conservatives to be her friend. It's hardly her only advantage, but I think it's a big one.

(39,909 posts)7. I agree.
Seeking Republican Approval doesn't seem to be any part of her character.
She reminds me of other great Democrats
who "welcome their hatred" (FDR),
or "I just tell the truth, and they think it is HELL" (Harry Truman).
You will know them by their WORKS,
not by their excuses.
