In the wake of the 2008-2011 financial crisis, she became the chair of the Congressional Oversight Panel created to oversee the U.S. banking bailout (formally known as the Troubled Assets Relief Program). She long advocated for the creation of a new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau which was established by the Dodd-Frank Wall Street Reform and Consumer Protection Act signed into law by President Barack Obama on July 21, 2010. As the special advisor she worked on implementation of the CFPB.

On May 24, 2010, Time magazine called Warren, Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation Chairman Sheila Bair, and Securities and Exchange Commission Chairman Mary Schapiro the "New Sheriffs of Wall Street" in a cover story.
Yes, easy to see why the right has disdain for Warren. She's brilliant without frills and catch phrases. Holy cow...she's the anti-Palin!
I'm always amazed when people see some utterly brilliant candidate who has always worked for us, you know... a consumer protection advocate, and would vote against them completely against their own interests just because she happens to be a Democrat.
Over the years, I've voted for as many Republicans as Democrats. I vote for whomever I think is the best candidate, not their party.
But this is the US in the 21st century, dumbing-down faster than light. We are so screwed.

Most of the right cannot even tell you the voting record of the candidate they support. Here's the kicker...when the Wall Street dabacle occurred, most Americans were crying "foul". Representatives such as Bernie Sanders and Dennis Kucinich have stood up to them and people such as Warren want to make sure that thievery like that does not occur again...and yet, the right wing demonizes these people. If that is not the stupidest, most ignorant, dumbed down, mentally deficient, low functioning display of logic, I seriously do not know what is. A chimpanzee would have more sense.

1.) Chimps are pretty smart. I'd rather have them vote than Democraps. At least when chimps pull the lever there is a 50% chance they won't make a stupid decision.

2.) Bernie Sanders? Really? An avowed socialist? Not that you had any credibility before, but I now pronounce you to be completely and utterly irrelevent henceforce.

3.) Kucinich? Really? See 2.

You just inadvertantly proved the point I made in my previous post. Here's a tip...make an effort to learn how to debate intelligently if you want to be taken seriously and do not question the credibility of another until you can refrain from using immature words such as "Democraps". Really now...are you twelve? I do not vote party lines and judge a candidate by their voting record. You seem to treat these issues as if you were rooting for a football team as oppposed to a serious political matter that has long term ramifications. Have a good evening as I am sure that it is way past your bedtime.

No.

Incoherent.

Name the last republican you voted for and supported on C-D.

Pointing out that Sanders and Kucinich are commies and laughing stocks, and that your butt-worship of them makes you irrelevent, is far from rooting for a football game. It is chilling that someone who brings them up in a serious political discussion as someone to be admired has a vote that is equal to mine.

Yawn. Lame. You lose. Try again.

Her loss is going to be the second sweetest of 2012 -- after Oblama's.

Yeah, our foreign policy is certainly "leftist." Noted Socialist hero George Bush invaded Iraq right?

Thanks for straightening him out. I don't think Eric3781 writes in English. I think it's a new derivative called right wing hate-mongering because every adjective is either childishly slanderous or completely without merit. Look at how he immediately dismisses someone based on one word and then uses a string of tired and inappropriate epithets to drive his point home. After three posts, he is on Ignore.

C-ya.

Guess you will have to catch my sardonic and bluntly common sense political commentary in the quotes of the leftists I dominate in these threads.
