92. This opposition to Warren is not new

Tue Mar 1, 2016, 03:24 PM

Mar 2016

Obama did not make a serious effort to push Warren to head the Consumer Financial Protection Agency that she created. 44 Republican senators laid across the tracks to block a possible Warren appointment, and that gave Obama and the Democrats cover for appointing somebody who not be a threat to Wall Street and the financial services industry. In that post, she could would have had a platform to push for reform in banking fees to consumers, credit cards, payday lenders, mortgage lenders and others. Neither party wanted her in that kind of position where she could do damage to their Wall Street masters.
