Elizabeth Warren calls out Wall Street

[Drew Phipps]

Looks like there are politicians who have the moral courage to "call out" Wall Street after all. Here is an article on Elizabeth Warren's speech, and the article contains a link to the speech if you want to listen to it.

Whether she runs for President or not, its high time someone in Washington is speaking out against Wall Street cronyism and bailouts.

She's was very passionate for sure. And not a word I would disagree with.

I love her. She is one of a tiny minority who is the real deal. There is a move by Obama's former campaign staffers to get her to run for President.
I hope she does. Otherwise it will be Clinton v Bush- again.

That would be good. She would pick up some of the Republicans upset with the bankers and who would never tolerate a another Clinton.

Maybe she could get together with Senator Sanders (Ind.) who also esposes some progressive economic policies and/or Jessie Ventura, who also is apparently taking a look at a Presidentia run.

Do you mean Bernie Sanders? He is from VT. Have not heard much from Ventura of late.

America was based on a healthy distrust of governments. If so that would even moreso apply to corporations. Look at what we have now.

[Drew Phipps]

I should have phrased that better : "Independent Senator Sanders (Vt.)"

Wall Street donors really dislike Elizabeth Warren as a VP pick

While it appears Massachusetts Sen. Elizabeth Warren is on Hillary Clinton's short list for a running mate, it seems like Wall Street donors are doing everything they can to stop that from happening. One anonymous Democratic donor told Politico, "If Clinton picked Warren, her whole base on Wall Street would leave her. They would literally just say, 'We have no qualms with you moving left ... but if you are going there with Warren, we just can't trust you; you've killed it.'"


Warren has been open about her interest in being Clinton's running mate, telling MSNBC, "I am ready to get in this fight and work my heart out for Hillary Clinton to become the next president of the United States." She has drawn a lot of attention during Clinton's campaign, especially from Republican presumptive nominee Donald Trump. "Pocahontas? Is that what you said? Elizabeth Warren? ... She is a senator that is highly overrated. She has passed very little legislation. She has been a real disaster for a lot of people, including the Democrats, who quite frankly can't stand her," Trump said.


Both Clinton and Democratic challenger Bernie Sanders have dropped Warren's name throughout their campaigns, fueling more talk that she's a popular pick for the second-in-command. Warren has met with Clinton at her home in Washington, D.C., and at the candidate's Brooklyn headquarters. Clinton, the presumptive Democratic presidential nominee, has yet to announce her pick for VP or say when she'll make her choice.

She sounds like Netanyahu when she speaks of Israel.
