(295,899 posts)as hell wants credit for her work.. anybody would.. and so does Joe Biden. He worked to get it passed but that seemed to be a bridge too far for EW to acknowledge.

(48,725 posts)countering what Biden had said about what he's done, could have easily been misread as implying that he opposed it. She didn't even clarify that he supported it, let alone admit he'd worked to get the bill passed.

(10,811 posts)Which makes Warren's reaction even more petty and baseless in substance. I think we had a glimpse into Elizabeth Warren's personality last night--she does not take criticism well and reacts with an unnecessary caustic edge. That's not a good trait for a prospective POTUS who needs people in the room to tell you when you're off base or haven't considered a particular angle. It too frequently is a trait of those who insist on absolute conformance and/or are unyielding to other points of view. Revealing!

(2,199 posts)After a man, positioning himself as superior then raising his voice and aggressively pointing at me - like he did to her - there's no way I'd personally thank him at that point.
She dismissed his behavior didn't attack, then said she was grateful to Obama, and thanked everyone who helped along the way, which included Joe.
I really don't see why it's necessary to defend Joe Biden here.
