So, Elizabeth Warren failed to throw Obama under the bus

[jpak]

What's up with that?

:shrug:

[Ruby the Liberal]

She was too busy explaining how the blame lays at the feet of the gutless

bank-supporting Republican party.

[Aerows]

9. Exactly

and she was telling it like it is. Obama has made some major malfunctions lately, but he isn't the architect of the disaster - Republicans own that. He's just gone along for the ride and placated them. Warren had no such problems identifying who was the party that fucked up.

[EFerrari]

15. So did she say anything about foreclosure gate?

[Ruby the Liberal]

21. Nothing that specific

Rachel was focusing on Cordray's nomination, the history of getting the agency approved and whether Warren wanted the job (she did and blames Republicans 110% for killing that opportunity).

It was amazing.

[EFerrari]

30. Thanks, Ruby. n/t

[Ruby the Liberal]

32. Try to catch it your time when it reairs. She was on fire.

:hi:

[CatWoman]

1. was she supposed to?

:shrug:

[jpak]

No - I was being sarcastic

in light of all the "Obama throws Elizabeth Warren under the bus" threads of late

[CatWoman]

6. ....

[UTUSN]

That's what *I* said/thought, Was she supposed to?!1 But you/CW & i THINK ALIKE!1 n/t

[CatWoman]

28. hey baby

:hi:

[Zenlitened]

2. What were you expecting?

[Mz Pip]

3. Was she supposed to?

:shrug:

[Autumn]

4. Classy woman she put it right out there

she's smart enough to see the fight that would have gone on.

5. Must disappoint the Left. Warren gave Obama full credit for making the

agency a reality. She said if not for Obama, the agency would not exist.

[demmiblue]

8. "Must disappoint the Left." Are you not a part of the "Left"?

Just curious. This is a site for those on the left. :shrug:

[gateley]

18. This is a site for Democrats. nt

[demmiblue]

34. Yep, and Democrats are on the left.

Am I missing something?

:crazy:

[PassingFair]

27. Assholes are usually right in the center....nt

[demmiblue]

36. True. Lol!

Hey, neighbor (fellow Michigander)!

:hi:

[gateley]

17. Good point. I was under the impression she didn't want the gig, did

she address that at all? (I'm "tuning in" to DU late, and haven't worked my way down to what y'all are talking about.)

:hi:

[Ruby the Liberal]

22. Yes, she did.

Nailed the Republicans to the wall on why she could never have gotten it.

[Safetykitten]

29. And uh...what do they do exactly? I mean when they are doing things.

[Liberal Veteran]

7. Obviously he has some dirt on her.

Just kidding.

Most likely she has spent enough time near the White House and President Obama that she has a more realistic outlook on what can be accomplished and his intentions than his more...ahem..."vocal critics" on this side of the aisle.

[CleanGreenFuture]

10. This is the SECOND post that didn't SOURCE this! Link, please!

[jpak]

11. It just aired on Rachel Maddow - no link

But she made it abundantly clear that the GOP - not Obama - made her nomination impossible

and - that the current nominee is "a good man" and has her full support

[CleanGreenFuture]

13. So the word going around that she didn't want the job is BS then, right?

[gateley]

20. How do you read that into the post? nt

[CleanGreenFuture]

35. Nevermind. You're not comprehending the question. Ruby the Liberal did though.

[Ruby the Liberal]

23. You got it.

[girl gone mad]

16. So you can admit that she wanted the job..

and that Obama wasn't willing to take on the GOP to get her the job. This is exactly what her liberal supporters have been saying for months now.

[jpak]

19. She never said anything like that - and Rachel did not ask her that question

So it's a mystery

or a conspiracy - of silence!!!!11

:D

[Ruby the Liberal]

24. Rachel specifically asked her if she wanted the job

She did and laid the blame at the Republican's feet about how their concerted effort to kill the agency precluded her from being able to take it.

Video will be out shortly.

[jpak]

25. Didn't catch that - thanks

:hi:

[Ruby the Liberal]

26. I can't wait to listen again. She was ON FIRE pissed

at the obstructionism. Lady exudes class from every pore in her body.

:hi:

[peace4ever]

31. but you had no problem stating the complete opposite as fact

:shakes-head:

[jpak]

33. Sorry - I'm shelling, blanching and freezing 20 lbs of peas right now

and I plan to eat them too

:D

[CleanGreenFuture]

37. You're going to eat frozen peas?

[elocs]

12. I think we can rule out that she is a DUer. n/t

[jpak]

14. LOL!!!111

:rofl:

[ZombieHorde]

38. Funny. nt
