http://www.alternet.org/media/elizabeth-warren-why-ill-never-be-insiderIn Oklahoma, Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) and her brothers grew up in an America that invested in kids like us and helped build a future where we could flourish. But, as she writes in her memoir, A Fighting Chance, Today the game is rigged rigged to work for those who have money and power The optimism that defines us as a people has been beaten and bruised. It doesnt have to be this way.
Warren, a former Harvard Law School professor, is an expert on how Wall Street and the banking industry are destroying the middle class. Shes put that knowledge to powerful use on Capitol Hill, rapidly becoming the most authoritative and articulate voice of the Democratic Partys progressive wing. Many are urging her to run for president.
Before returning to Washington for the start of Congress, Sen. Warren talks to Bill this week about the problems facing middle-class Americans. Washington works for those who can hire armies of lobbyists, armies of lawyers, and get just the rules they want. It doesnt work so well for American families, Sen. Warren tells Bill.
The only chance weve got is if those families will turn back to their government and say, I demand that you work for me, not for the billionaires, not for the millionaires. That you work for me.

I never understood all the crap in that thread.

She will be our first woman President, bank on that.
I demand that she throw her hat in the ring. There's a lot of people out here who are with me on this
