111. Nice little sneak-in there of Sen. Warren being asked if she will run for POTUS...

She says "I am not running for president of the United States." No, as a matter of fact, she is not currently running for president. She did not say she would never run, just that she is working hard right now at being a Senator for Massachusettes.

You know, they say that if your eyes look to the left after you say something, that might be an indication that you're not being 100% truthful, or that you may doubt your own words. View the OP's video carefully.

Disclaimer: I love Hillary, always have since she was my first lady in Arkansas when I was in high school. While in college in Conway, I even spent a day and had dinner with her and Bill, as their host. But I have been crazy about Elizabeth Warren since the first time she was interviewed by Charlie Rose.

‎

Except for Gore/shrub, I've had an impressive track record going back 35 years or so of predicting who would eventually become president, long before they did so (and not necessarily liking all of those predictions). When I first saw that Warren interview, I got that old familiar feeling, call it gut instinct (from whence it comes, I have no idea, lol), that she would some day be president.

I never got that feeling about Hillary. But, hey, I'm good either way, right?

Hopefully, Warren's ideas and stances will be part of 2014 and 2016. djean111 Dec 2013 #1
