GOP Intent On Big Showdown With Elizabeth Warren
The Economics and Politics of Elizabeth Warren

Congressional Republicans are apparently intent on a big showdown with Elizabeth Warren, who is currently building up the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB).

This is very good news for the White House, if they use this opportunity wisely.

Some Republicans seem to think that Ms. Warren is about "big government" or "intrusive regulation". But this is not the case - Elizabeth Warren's approach is much more appealing and already popular with almost everyone on right and left: Transparency.

(snip)
She should be nominated by President Obama to head the agency. The fight for her confirmation would make her ideas clear to millions. Let's see which senators exactly are willing to argue against greater transparency.

3. The consevatives biggest fears and the things they react to most strongly
are the things they fear will work.
Any idea of Obama's that may help own nation will be opposed so as not to allow him credit.
So far it has worked.
