Reply #40: I remember reading it in an article -- maybe NYT? A lengthy [View All]

article, anyway, and she said where her heart lies is back at Harvard and teaching. I'm not making that up, but I remember being disappointed when I read it because we ALL want her to lead that agency.

If you recall, the Republicans (read: their financial backers) don't even want such an agency! They were fighting it -- and Warren -- so Obama got around it by having her serve "under" Geithner, who in reality just turned the reigns over to her. It's always been my (disappointed) understanding that all she was willing to do was to help get it set up, hire the right people, then get back to her teaching.

I hope she'll be interviewed about this so she can give a definitive answer since so many people don't seem to believe Barney Frank (or the article, wherever the hell it was).
