to have all the qualities when he was running for the presidency in 2008. But wait, I
haven't totally given up on him yet. Too many Dems. are dwelling only on his incredible
appeasement of the Right-wingers. They don't even know of the many good things he
has done. Yes, I have mixed feelings about him. He still has the time to change, if he wins a
second term -- which he probably will.

It's unlikely that Elizabeth Warren would become an appeaser of the R-W's insane greed
to such an extent. Her entire outlook says so. She was the one who raised up the idea of
offering protection to us, the consumers of our nation, to begin with. And this means
fighting against corporate corrutpion. Of course, there is still the possibility that she could
change should she become president. In my opinion, the chances of this are infinitely small.

She doesn't just seem bright, she seems Wise. Gidney N Cloyd Jan 2012 #1
