Sen. Gregg Worries That Elizabeth Warren May Use Her New Post To (Gasp!) Promote Social Justice!!!
Gregg, the ranking member of the Senate Budget Committee and a senior member of the Banking Committee, expressed dismay at President Obama's decision to tap Warren as a key "adviser" to help set up the new Consumer Financial Protection Agency established in the Wall Street reform bill.

..."My concern is that she would use the agency for the purpose of promoting social justice," Gregg said on ABC's "Top Line" webcast.

8. No - they aren't nuts
They know exactly what they say and what it means.

The real nuts are the ignorant ones who stand to benefit the most by social justice and not be shafted and raked over the coals due to their own stupidy. Now those people are certifiable. Against their own best interests. It's exasperating.

11. Maybe like the recent senator candidate from Delaware
she can show the people how to live job free for five years. Run for continuous office and pay for all her bills out of the campaign funds. AND BECAUSE THE LASE ADMINISTRATION was republican they let her get by with it. Even not filing income tax. Didn't Capone and several other "members of the mob" go to jail for that. You know --income tax evasion.

18. That wouldn't be Judd "I was offered a cabinet position by Pres. Obama" Gregg, would it?
Edited on Sat Sep-18-10 05:37 PM by abq e streeter
Gotta love bipartisanship

Oops, just noticed that this has already been pointed out above.Doesn't change the fact that people like this are among those who this administration saw fit to be cabinet secretaries. Not Obama-bashing, for those who may have noticed that I'm one of many here who are less than thrilled with much of the performance of this administration,---I will vote for every single Democrat I see on every single ballot (including of course our Democratic candidate for president in 2012, which I assume will be Obama) but just a statement of fact.
