Elizabeth Warren.

How does her appointment square with Obama being a corporate whore? Why does Obama's corporate masters allow him to have her in his administration?

Do you believe Warren knows Obama perhaps a little better than you do? Does she know he's a corporate whore but she doesn't care and accepted the job anyway, knowing she was going to work for a corporate whore? What does that say about her if that's the case? Did she accept a job that she knew she would not be able to be effective at? How could she think she'd be effective if her boss is a spineless corporate whore sell out?

How do you reconcile this? Why would Obama's corporate masters allow this?

Elizabeth Warren Recruits Dodd-Frank Enforcers From 50 States

Dec. 2 (Bloomberg) -- Elizabeth Warren, the Harvard University law professor deputized by President Obama to police consumer finance, is recruiting 50 state prosecutors to help. She may even decide to bankroll their work.

“The state attorneys general are natural partners for the consumer agency,” Warren, 61, said in an interview. “There are regulators in Washington that used to prevent state attorneys general from protecting consumers.”

The attorneys general say they are now invited to the nation’s capital and talk with Warren by telephone almost weekly as she sets up the Bureau of Consumer Financial Protection. On Nov. 30, Warren traveled to Fort Lauderdale, Florida, to plot strategy at the prosecutors’ winter meeting.

Bernard Nash, a law partner at Dickstein Shapiro LLP in Washington, said Warren’s alliance with state prosecutors will strengthen both her hand and theirs. It will also antagonize banks, who opposed the creation of the consumer bureau.

Please, enlighten me on how this can be reconciled. Or is it just ignored?

And remember, I asked nicely, I said please!

Hugs and kisses,
Beet
