(3,163 posts)She sounds fantastic. She says all of the right things and says them with great passion. She moves people.
But what has she actually done on the national political scene? She oversaw implementation of TARP; hardly a sterling qualification. She oversaw the startup of Consumer Finance Protection Bureau; decent reference, but still a financial role. She has introduced one bill in the Senate, a bill on student loans. Two roles as assistant to the president and one bill in the senate. That's it. Before that she was a professor in an ivory tower school.
Where is the leadership? Where is the action on her principles? Where is she actually kicking ass rather than just talking about kicking ass? We don't really need good talkers. We don't need someone who can make stirring speeches. We need someone who speaks little and wears big heavy boots.
