40. Yes. Elizabeth Warren. A long time friend of Barack Obama and someone that was deliberately elevated
Edited on Sun Dec-04-11 01:25 PM by phleshdef
...by Barack Obama. And someone that designed and contributed a lot to the creation of the consumer financial protection agency, which exists because of Barack Obama pushing for its existence and signing its existence into law.

Of course I like Elizabeth Warren. But beyond her work to create that agency, she hasn't had the power to do much of anything else. Thats not any kind of fault on her, thats just the reality of the situation. At the end of the day, her one huge accomplishment is also President Obama's accomplishment. And he has had the power and has used that power to do much more. Obama has been the one thing standing between this country and the real wolves who wants to tear down all our life saving agencies and utterly destroy every shred of the social safety net.
