(57,936 posts)We need a fresh face with old-fashioned American values to lead. I want Elizabeth Warren. I do not want some tired voice that has been long associated with the mistakes of American foreign policy and banks. I want someone who really understands economics and doesn't just repeat cliches and slogans. I want someone who can explain things to all of us because she understands them so well herself. And that person is Elizabeth Warren.
And I don't see Obama helping to get her elected. I see Obama appointing Republicans as often as possible. He is just barely a Democrat.
I was quite excited to work to get Obama re-elected because I fooled myself into thinking he would speak up for the American people once the constraints of having to face re-election were past. He is, at last speaking up on a few economic issues, but when I look at his appointments I see Republicans everywhere -- maybe even more than in his first term.
Appointments speak louder than words. I am very disappointed.
