GOP Wants 'Rigorous' Oversight Of Consumer Agency
Bemoaning "a clear absence of accountability and transparency," according to the WSJ, the lawmakers wrote that they want information about the meetings held by Harvard law professor Elizabeth Warren, whom President Obama appointed to set up the agency, which she reportedly conceived of in 2006. The letters criticized Warren herself, according to the WSJ, expressing concern "that Professor Warren will be approaching this task without any experience managing -- or creating -- an organization of this scale and importance."


Because the scale and importance of this agency is important why not let this women do her job, and stop projecting trouble.http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/11/23/financial-regulation_n_787336.html

2. They need to look at the ignorant asses they appointed to head their committees, &
leave Warren to do her job. She could run circles around those asshats.
