So, Elizabeth Warren failed to throw Obama under the bus |
|
What's up with that?

She was too busy explaining how the blame lays at the feet of the gutless |
|
bank-supporting Republican party.

and she was telling it like it is. Obama has made some major malfunctions lately, but he isn't the architect of the disaster - Republicans own that. He's just gone along for the ride and placated them. Warren had no such problems identifying who was the party that fucked up.

21. Nothing that specific |
|
Rachel was focusing on Cordray's nomination, the history of getting the agency approved and whether Warren wanted the job (she did and blames Republicans 110% for killing that opportunity).
It was amazing.

5. Must disappoint the Left. Warren gave Obama full credit for making the |
|
agency a reality. She said if not for Obama, the agency would not exist.

Just curious. This is a site for those on the left. :shrug:

17. Good point. I was under the impression she didn't want the gig, did |
|
she address that at all? (I'm "tuning in" to DU late, and haven't worked my way down to what y'all are talking about.)

7. Obviously he has some dirt on her. |
|
Just kidding.
Most likely she has spent enough time near the White House and President Obama that she has a more realistic outlook on what can be accomplished and his intentions than his more...ahem..."vocal critics" on this side of the aisle.

11. It just aired on Rachel Maddow - no link |
|
But she made it abundantly clear that the GOP - not Obama - made her nomination impossible
and - that the current nominee is "a good man" and has her full support

16. So you can admit that she wanted the job.. |
|
and that Obama wasn't willing to take on the GOP to get her the job. This is exactly what her liberal supporters have been saying for months now.

19. She never said anything like that - and Rachel did not ask her that question |
|
So it's a mystery
or a conspiracy - of silence!!!!11

24. Rachel specifically asked her if she wanted the job |
|
She did and laid the blame at the Republican's feet about how their concerted effort to kill the agency precluded her from being able to take it.
Video will be out shortly.
