Elizabeth Warren got millions from banks, too.

[MannyGoldstein]

Why, just today, the CFPB Sen. Warren started took $800 million from Bank of America and gave it to cheated consumers, to settle claims against said bank.

Sen. Warren can take banker money as well as anyone in government. She just doesn't keep it for herself, that's all.

[ProSense]

1. Gee,

"Why, just today, the CFPB Sen. Warren started took $800 million from Bank of America and gave it to cheated consumers, to settle claims against said bank. "

...thanks Obama!!!

You may not know this, but Obama is responsible for re-regulating Wall Street.

There is no question that Dodd-Frank was a strong bill—the strongest in three generations. I didn’t have a chance to vote for it because I wasn’t yet in the Senate, but if I could have, I would have voted for it twice.

17. Just let Manny dream... Because giving credit to the President is his worst nightmare.

I hope some day Manny will understand that Senator Warren and The President are ON THE SAME TEAM and share the same goals.

[Corruption Inc]

18. Unlike the mindless worshippers huh?

Who's worst nightmare is truth.

[tridim]

19. I don't worship anyone or anything. WTF are you talking about newbie?

31. Your pathetic mewling turns my stomach

Back atcha', Suxxor

48. Excuse me?

[Chan790]

20. Nobody who would appoint Tim Geithner, Larry Summers and Robert Rubin...

to positions in their administration should ever be mistaken for being on the side of the American people though. These are enemies of the middle class and American workers, taxpayers; more essentially, they are enemies of the best interests of the American public.

I like the President a lot, but he still has to atone for filling the financial, regulatory and Treasury positions in his administration with SAMO. At this point, he's still vocal in his support for that same 'ole (financial) shit. That's both sad and embarrassing.

[1StrongBlackMan]

21. What about someone that ...

appointed Elizabeth Warren and Richard Cordray to the CFPB and Kagan and Sotomayor to the SCOTUS?

[ProSense]

24. Yeah, what about someone

who did this: http://www.democraticunderground.com/10024781130

The attempt to avoid the fact that the CFPB is part of the President's Wall Street reform bill is hilarious. Still it's not as hilarious as attributing Cordray's achievements to Warren, who deserves a round of applause for introducing the concept and standing up the agency after being charged to do so by the President.

[1StrongBlackMan]

26. Not hilarious; but rather, sad ...

Sad and telling.

[MannyGoldstein]

38. More baseless personal attacks

I want to thank our President. Doubly.

Thanks, Obama

etc.

I love being able to praise our President, and am glad to do it loudly.

Use your head.

2. I've been politically rick-rolled.

I tip my hat to you, sir.

[rhett o rick]

3. Yes and all the while Goldman-Sachs is giving Ms. Clinton $400,000 for having tea and crumpets

with them. Maybe the 99% can scrape up some money and buy her allegiance back.

[Chan790]

22. I don't want her allegiance.

I want her forced into retirement.

[dionysus]

4. she doesn't have to take anyone' money, she's independantly wealthy

[fleabiscuit]

7. I imagine the next presidential election will roll over $5 billion.

She'll take it with a smile.

[MannyGoldstein]

8. Like FDR, Warren's a traitor to her class.

And traitors can't be trusted, of course.

[StevieM]

13. FDR's opponent's called him a communist, but in reality he saved the American free enterprise system

[joshcryer]

12. Same liberal rating as Third Way Mark Udall...

I guess that's OK with OP since he's invoked Mark Udall before...

And another...

[demwing]

5. Warren is bought and paid for

in $20 increments, by people who are not corporations

[MannyGoldstein]

9. Ha! Won't the Purity Democrats' head's explode when they see

she's beholden to many millions who could only afford $20 each. She'll do all sorts of stuff for that special interest!

[demwing]

16. follow the money

hey! points back to us!

waddya know...

[zeemike]

6. Well there you go right there then.

"She just doesn't keep it for herself,"

She is obviously not fit to be president...she needs to read Atlas Shrugged and take the John Galt oath before she is fit.

[Vashta Nerada]

10. And Hilary Clinton takes money from corporations and keeps it.

[joshcryer]

11. No arrests?

Shame on Warren for ceding to the powerful banking elite.

[Nanjing to Seoul]

14. What a hypocritical harpie! Damn her for being good to the ones the banks fucked over

I loves me some Elizabeth Warren!

[cui bono]

15. Saw an Elizabeth Warren for President 2016 bumper sticker today in Los Angeles.

[1StrongBlackMan]

23. Manny, didn't President Obama start the CFPB ...

and appoint Elizabeth Warren to head it up?

[tridim]

27. Just an oversight, I'm sure. nt

[Zorra]

25. k&r nt

[Agschmid]

28. I see what you did there...

[1StrongBlackMan]

29. What do you see ...

that he mis-attributed credit? ... again!

[MannyGoldstein]

33. Whose idea was the CFPB? nt

[1StrongBlackMan]

34. Well ...

I suppose it depends on who one asks ...

In June 2009, President Obama proposed to address failures of consumer protection by establishing a new financial agency to focus directly on consumers, rather than on bank safety and soundness or on monetary policy. This new agency would heighten government accountability by consolidating in one place responsibilities that had been scattered across government. The agency would also have responsibility for supervision and enforcement with respect to the laws over providers of consumer financial products and services that escaped regular Federal oversight. This agency would protect families from unfair, deceptive, and abusive financial practices. The President urged Congress to give the consumer agency the same accountability and independence that the other banking agencies have and sufficient funding so it could ensure that powerful financial companies would comply with consumer laws.

In July 2010, Congress passed and President Obama signed the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act. The Act created the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB). The CFPB consolidates most Federal consumer financial protection authority in one place. The consumer bureau is focused on one goal: watching out for American consumers in the market for consumer financial products and services.

http://www.consumerfinance.gov/the-bureau/creatingthebureau/

So I guess it could be President Obama; or maybe, Frank or Dodd; but I suppose, the idea could have come to you in a dream.

[MannyGoldstein]

35. You really love personal attacks, don't you?

I guess when you got nothing better...

It was Elizabeth Warren's idea, in 2007.

[1StrongBlackMan]

36. Personal attacks? ... Whine/Cheese ...

So if I propose, as a private citizen, an innovative program, without the ability to establish it. And, it gets picked up 3 years later, would it still be my program?

[MannyGoldstein]

37. Again with the personal attacks. Really uncool.

If you were bestselling author on the subject of bankers screwing America, then proposed something called the "Consumer Financial Protection Safety Commission" in 2007, then lobbied like hell for it getting 3/4 of Washington and all of Wall Street to hate your guts, then the thing you proposed finally got done...

then yeah, I think you'd get credit.

[1StrongBlackMan]

39. Okay ...

42. The First Year of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: An Overview

The First Year of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau: An Overview

The longest lasting legacy of the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act of 2010 (“Dodd-Frank Act”)1 may be the creation of the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection (“CFPB”). First proposed in 2007 by Professor Elizabeth Warren,2 the agency materialized remarkably quickly, being enacted into law in 2010.3 Although it came together quickly, the CFPB was built to last. The Dodd-Frank Act provides it with broad authority, secure funding, and a powerful, independent director.4

That's from the source at your link. Again, this agency is the in place because of the President's Wall Street reform.

There is no question that Dodd-Frank was a strong bill—the strongest in three generations. I didn’t have a chance to vote for it because I wasn’t yet in the Senate, but if I could have, I would have voted for it twice.

43. Who is responsible for securing the fines?

Are you going to give Richard Cordray any credit for his hard work and leadership?

[MannyGoldstein]

44. Absolutely, but that wouldn't have worked for this OP's schtick

Substitute Cordray for Warren and you'll see what I mean.

[Enthusiast]

30. Kicked and recommended a whole bunch.

Way to go, Manny!

32. My head is spinning, but I think this is worth a DU Rec

You people are way too smart for me with your oratorical flourishes, left-handed compliments, right-fisted jabs.

It's hard to know if Who or Manny is on first, let alone at bat, but I enjoy the parrying and hope that the best might win.

You know your headline is a lie. That's like saying Lincoln benefited from slavery because hie spouse's family owned them.

45. Very clever!!!! And very well said!

[pragmatic_dem]

46. Democratic leadership refuses to prosecute powerful people. Just think if Govt. worked as hard

investigating and prosecuting Wall Street criminals as they do spying on our emails and text messages.

But, Democratic leadership has made a choice. And that choice is to protect the richest among us, while spying on everyone else and harassing whistle blowers.

Warren has been clear about the need for prosecution, I see no evidence that Democratic Party leadership agrees with her.

And Holder? He has been very good to rich and powerful people. Very good.

Holder should have been removed from his position for ineffectiveness.

Every minute Holder stays in office, it is a message that the rich and powerful are immune from justice.
