Elizabeth Warren: "The Reason I Cannot Run This Agency is Because of [Republicans]"

  We heard a variety of things about Obama and Warren and the CFPA: We will not let Republicans ‘rip arms and legs off’ of consumer agency

First of all, there's this, I am highlighting first, as it is blunt and unequivocal:

“We would not have a consumer agency if it were not for President Obama,” she said.

For now, that's the deal: Obama HAS done this and it is good, particularly as evidenced by the absolute HOWLING it has generated.

She comes right out and BLAMES republicans.

An Out of the Park Home Run in my book!

“I want to be real clear. The reason I can not run this agency is because of [Republicans],” Warren continued. “They have made it perfectly clear that they are not going to let this agency go forward if I am there. Fine, I can step away from this. What I care about is this agency.”

Warren described Cordray as a “good man.”

“I think it’s time to take the fight straight to the Republicans,” she added. “We need a director in place, that is the law, and we are not, not, not going to let the minority come in and dictate the terms of this agency – rip its arms and legs off before it is able to help a single family.”

Ripping it limb form limb AND destroying her  has clearly been the order of the day for the GOP, something I think most thinking creatures predicted the moment we got the legislation to create this MUCH-NEEDED agency. We KNEW it would be opposed because, of course, the RICH cannot make their obsecne profits without screwing us blind at every last possible juncture.

They are telling us just exactly this by their actions. We see how much the republicans hate American families in everything they do, from Wisconsin to New Jersey to Florida to Minnesota and to this particular fledgling agency.

Republicans want to kill jobs and they want to kill this agency specifically designed to PROTECT Americans from the predation of Capitalism.

And because the republican outpouring of hate for this agency is so much - we all saw how rude and foul they were towards Ms. Warren - now they are focused on destroying Obama's newly nominated head, Richard Cordray:

President Barack Obama has decided to nominate Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) instead of Elizabeth Warren, but Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) doesn’t care. He says Republicans still plan to block the nomination.

“I would remind [President Obama] that Senate Republicans still aren’t in interested approving anyone to the position until the president agrees to make this massive government bureaucracy more accountable and transparent to the American people,” McConnell announced on the Senate floor Monday.

Mitch McConnell is a complete asshole and he is fully engraved on the American record as hating American families so much, he doesn't even sleep. I believe he changed his middle name to "No!" when Obama became president.

So I posted this because I like Warren's tone immensely, she talks like I want Democrats to talk and she is talking about fighting them, which is THE RIGHT MESSAGE RIGHT NOW for Democrats.

Of course it's the same message they ever hear, the one they have the hardest time hearing:

Stop caving, stop compromising, push back, fight back!
