were never happy with Obama for the same reason we don't care for Hillary -- WAAAAAYYYYY too cozy with the corporations while compromising Democratic Ideals for Third-Way sellout. I wasn't disappointed with Obama, I knew EXACTLY who he was. How? I listened. It was all there for anyone who wanted to really listen. I had hoped he would keep at least a few of his promises but nope, he turned into Reagan the second he took the oath of office.

And the name is ELIZABETH WARREN. Now, I've also listened to Elizabeth Warren speak. I listened to her stump speeches, I've watched her take down financial "experts" on CNBC 3 at a time and I watched her wipe the floor with Ben Bernenke. Warren has conviction where Obama and Hillary have corporate greed. Warren has a vast left-wing political machine behind her should she decide to announce and it sure as hell ain't the Democratic Party who will do everything they can to "Dean" her. There are a WHOLE lot of liberal groups who have been waiting, far too long IMO, for a candidate that would come along that they could enthusiastically support. No, Warren is the real deal and we won't be disappointed with her.

Should Warren decide to run, Hillary better be ready because Warren will have a WIDE appeal and it will be across party lines. Hillary's ONLY support is the Democratic Party Establishment. That's it. The Democratic Party will pull out it's bag of dirty tricks and, if Warren can survive, she EASILY wins the General. Hillary? GOP win. GUARANTEED.
