I'm afraid she might shrink from that... but a Warren presidency could be truly transformational!

Though I don't see why the slam at the POTUS was needed. And this tape is older - I recall seeing it before and thinking it was great.

President, she nailed it to the wall, although she did leave an opening that the hardheaded will exploit. When she kept saying that we paid for the roads, etc., she should have included them in the paid for category as well. This would have innoculated her from the right wing come back that they helped pay for the roads as well with the "1% pay 39% of the taxes" blather that they drone on and on as though we're too stupid to know that the 1% is also getting 90% of the cake. Thus droning out the real point of what she said.

But when someone says something extraordinarily well, as Elizabeth Warren did here, why is it necessary to juxtapose it as against what someone else is saying? It's all good, right? What is the point of saying someone said it better? I haven't heard or seen all the the talks that Ms. Warren or the President has given on the subject, so I admit that I don't know "who says it better". I've heard both talk about it in an extraordinary way. They make a good combination.

Lastly, it an opinion, not a fact.

Surprising, because normally he's very eloquent.
