Repukes get their wishes!!


" President Barack Obama has chosen a candidate other than Elizabeth Warren as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to a person briefed on the matter.


The president’s choice is a person who already works at the consumer agency, the person said today. Obama may make the nomination as soon as next week, another person briefed on the administration’s plans said.


The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process isn’t public, didn’t give the name of the choice. Elizabeth Warren, a Harvard professor, was appointed last fall by Obama to set up the consumer bureau until a director was named. Warren previously was head of the congressional watchdog panel overseeing the bank bailout.


Raj Date, a top deputy to Warren at the consumer bureau, was on a short list of candidates to become director, Bloomberg News reported last month, citing a person briefed on the process.

1. Let no good deed go unpunished

[Tx4obama]

2. So? Warren said she didn't want the position. And besides ...

whoever is appointed/nominated will probably be easier to get confirmed in the Senate.
And then the new person can hire Warren to be his/her assistant, if Warren wants to do that.

I don't see any reason to be upset about this issue.

10. Some posters keep typing that with no links... Do you have one?

I know you don't see the wisdom of a person that knows how this game was played.... But the Banks do... And they don't want her anywhere near them... That is why she need Obama to nominate her, and that is why it matters.....

15. Third hand from Barney Frank..

who himself has very strong ties to the banks that despise Warren.

[tammywammy]

16. But Frank doesn't despise her at all

[girl gone mad]

24. Whether or not he despises her, he has extremely close ties to the banks.

All of the evidence I've seen indicates that she very much wanted the job.

[tammywammy]

28. Since your complaint is that it's a third hand account from Frank

Do you have a link of Warren saying she wanted the job?

[silverweb]

22. Gracias.

I suspect she feels she can avoid a lot of administrative duties and actually do the needed work she is best at in a position other than the highly politicized one of director.

[girl gone mad]

13. No, she never said that.

Her closest allies have been lobbying for her all along. The administration cut her loose, yet another sign that Wall Street pulls their strings.

[KittyWampus]

27. Links to WARREN saying she wanted the job? LINKS to her "closet allies" saying she wanted the job?

[rhett o rick]

31. So you are ok with Pres Obama dropping Warren? Not surprised. She was too liberal for you, right? nm

[roxiejules]

47. 'She still wants the job'

http://www.nytimes.com/2011/07/05/business/economy/05warren.html?pagewanted=1&_r=1 - NYT 7/4/11


"People outside the agency who speak often with Ms. Warren say they believe she still wants the job.

Only President Obama can decide if Ms. Warren is his choice for director, and for months he has said nothing about it. Mr. Obama has said he has great respect for Ms. Warren and her advocacy for consumers, but he has appeared unwilling to wage a battle with the Senate to actually nominate her to direct the new bureau."

[bahrbearian]

20. I wouldn't want to take a job that is begrudging given. Obama never wanted her.

[sabrina 1]

36. If she didan't want the job, why didn't she say so just weeks ago

over the Memorial Day Weekend, when Republicans were working overtime to block her appointment and Liberal Groups were gathering tens of thousands of signatures in support of her appointment?

Is she the kind of person who allow all that to happen when she had no intention of taking the job?

Do you have some links to this, because it seems to be going around with nothing to back it up.

[BulletproofLandshark]

44. As far as I can tell you've never been upset with anything Obama's ever done. n/t

[hulka38]

46. Can I have a second helping of guano?

3. WE NEED MORE THREADS ABOUT THIS!!!...nt

[CleanGreenFuture]

4. That is one of the worst news reports I've ever seen. A quote - from, get this... A PERSON!!

Completely un-sourced, reported by a MSM outlet.

Journalism is dead.

[valerief]

9. Well, it must have been a corporation. They're persons, too, superpersons, in fact. nt

[CTyankee]

40. I have heard a completely different story, coming from some folks at the Kennedy School

for Politics up at Harvard. I have no idea if it is true. They say Obama thought she was seeking too much publicity for herself and that soured him on her.

But who knows? The rumor I heard might just be as a result of infighting at Harvard...people with professional grudges against other "colleagues." It wouldn't be the first (and certainly not the last) time that happens...

[OHdem10]

5. one more dissappointment. Wall ST and CofC always get their

way.

[provis99]

6. so Date, one of Geithner's Treasury minions, takes over.

the CFPB is officially dead now. Date will gut it to satisfy Geithner.

[UnrepentantLiberal]

7. They're unrecing this too?

Quick, bury it! Only good news about Dear Leader!

[tammywammy]

11. I unrecced it

Because there are already multiple threads on the first page of GD with this same article. It's tiresome that people can't even scroll down to check for dupes.

:shrug:

-Hoot

[brooklynite]

18. Might explain why Patty Murray just said...

...the Senate candidate situation in MA would be settled soon.

[bahrbearian]

21. Nice

[Palmer Eldritch]

23. She'll make a better Senator.

[girl gone mad]

25. She's too smart for the Senate.

She should run for President.

[libmom74]

26. Not surprised. She's not Wall Street

friendly. I'm sure Obama will appoint someone handpicked by Geitner.

41. Has the President announced this yet?

There so much bullshit going on here at du lately I don't even bother with shit like this until I know for a fact that is what the President says for sure.

[Rockholm]

43. EXCELLENT! Now she can run for Senate in Massachusetts.

[Fearless]

45. Thanks President Compromise for compromising our future.

[treestar]

48. Why is this woman the subject of so much adulation?

Why is she the latest savior of us all?

[rucky]

51. Why does she have such a big target on her back?

[treestar]

52. Why is she special and magical?

What miracles will occur if she gets this office? Why does she need this office to do the miracles? Why can't Obama pick whoever he wants who can get confirmed?

[rucky]

53. She can be trusted to do her job.

Which, in this day & age, is special and magical.
