Elizabeth Warren on Tim Geithner and the CFPB

[prrolg]

Is it true what I heard that Warren was appointed to the post to make the American people gain confidence in the Obama administration but that Obama winked to Wall Street that she would have no influence on their business. And that to insure they have nothing to worry about as the Fed will continue to back them in their business as usual riskless activities (riskless to them) while the taxpayer is still very much at risk?

[needparalegal]

Anything Geithner is for I am against, LOL. If Warren cannot tell that Geithner is a snake she has poor judgement. He will be rewarded by being made CEO of Goldman Sachs soon after leaving office.

[bozolazic]

Nobody 2012.

[toplawyer2007]

Geithner is Jew

[dorotheainmiddle]

@toplawyer2007 Actually, he's Episcopalian.



[madmercenary]

Praising Geithner?!?! Let me tell you a lil' history lesson. Geither PUSHED for deregulation of the housing market (the core reason for the sub-prime mortgage crisis). And then Obamya appoints Geither as treasury secretary? Geithner helped create the recession and then we put him in charge of fixing it?

Ron Paul 2012!!!

What a shit-eating windbag. Screw her, and everyone that looks like her.

[sagequan]

@centurion180ad you tell that to Captain Michael Clauer who returned home from Iraq after watching his friends die only to discover that his 300,000 dollar home had already been forclosed on and resold for 3,000 dollars.

Watch some of her videos and leave whatever comments you like, but its my hope that in the process that you actually learn something.

[centurion180ad]

@sagequan I know all about how veterans are being murdered & plundered by the mass murdering Debt Syndicate. This Warren creature is an Ivy Legue bureaucratic suck-up. She says SOME of the correct things, but her actions are to form yet another blood drinking bureaucracy full of lawyers for her own power.

Willian K. Black sent over a thousand banker mafia crooks to prison after the Keating-5 plundering, and he'd be FILLING prisons with these God damn felons. Warren is covering up.

[Seasass]

@centurion180ad Is Mrs. Petraeus covering up, too? Elizabeth Warren hired her for a position at the CFPB, protecting military families from predatory lending. Yeah, maybe the wife of the general is yet another blood-sucking bureaucrat.

Seriously, man, we have to know who our friends are. If we tar everybody in government with the same brush, NONE of the good people will ever want to fight for what's right--it won't be worth all of the name-calling and character assassination.

[marilynr46]

@centurion180ad SCREW YOURSELF Go Elizabeth !!!!!!!!

[passantes]

She will be mostly ignored, they (admin) supports a consumer protection agency, for show purposes, doesn't mean the admin will follow any of their recomendations, you can't police consumer credit without controlling the CREDITORS- BANKS!!!! We've already lost.

[dlmaniac]

Crazy Obama shill. The whole consumer protection thing will end up just like FDIC: a disaster.

Remember how FDIC was set up to protect our deposits. Sounds good on paper until you look at how government runs it: They on one hand are supposed monitor banks making sure they are not going nuts w/ our money and yet on the other they pass Community Reinvest Act to encourage banks to make risky loans to those who may not afford their mortgage with, GASP, our money. How can you trust these people?

[Seasass]

@dlmaniac If the CFPB turns out like the FDIC, we should celebrate. Check "This American Life", #377, "Act Two: Unbreaking the Bank" for an excellent piece of radio reporting by Chana Joffe-Walt. Her chronicle of a bank takeover shows FDIC employees in action, and they are impressive. It's easy to see why not one depositor with money below the maximum insured amount has lost savings since 1933. I think you actually meant to be upset about the Gramm-Leach-Bliley Act of 1999, right?

[666sigma]

Geithner is the genius behind "TOO BIG TO FAIL". Who the f*ck do you think you are fooling? Obama and all of the politicians in Washington have let Wall Street and the banks rob us blind.

More window dressing instead of real change.

[HoneySiegalSurvivor]

@666sigma worse than that. More fraud. Another agency with another sheister being paid when all it takes is law enforcement to indict the source of the demise of the economy. Basic principles 101 do NOT have a crook worse than Nixon at the helm. She apparently is not going to be accountable to anyone and is going to be paid by the Federal Reserve. I object! After all, the Fed is moneylaundering the estate of me DEAD. I can restore the US if only the scumbags would resign. Day 83 in Campaign.

HS

[MrOranj]

she's got the job.

[Jesusizjdoe]

Wow she's good !! Guess that's the end of her being given any posision of authority

Many blessing in running for office Elizabeth! show the people what you've got and if they switch off fox for long enough you might well get elected.

[poopstreek]

@Jesusizjdoe Consumer credit helped get us here. A debt based, consumer/service economy will never last.

Anyone who praises the criminal, Geithner, must be a criminal also. "Protecting consumer credit" AKA making sure everyone is in debt to Geithner's Wall St. crook friends.

[betterpresident09]

Cdavis, you can go here and sign CREDO does have a petition that you can sign to support her.

[TresJolie7]

Thank you Elizabeth!

[cdavis702]

OK. Where do I sign up for the official Elizabeth Warren fan club? Intelligence wrapped in integrity and grit.
