Funny to see Warren call him out over this nonsense. Kind of like his FCC chairmen who was a Time Warner exec and now we see net neutrality compromised. When will the left wake up and see through this nonsense.
Will wonders ever cease? I'm with you on this one Mike. But I don't think the nomination of Weiss even comes close to Obama's nomination of Loretta Lynch as the new attorney general when it comes to identifying how Mr. Obama has shacked up with the Wall St. bankster vampires.

Loretta Lynch's nomination as Attorney General is further proof that the revolving door between Wall Street and Washington is still spinning. Right after finishing law school, Lynch worked at the law firm that represented the biggest crooks behind the Savings and Loan Crisis. After her first stint as U.S. Attorney, she was a partner at another law firm defending the accountants who cooked Enron's books. And before her nomination as Attorney General, she oversaw the HSBC settlement that allowed a major bank to escape jail time for helping Mexican drug cartels launder dirty money.

On what charge? Since Glass Steagal was stopped there was nothing to charge them with. Brooksley Borne tried to get them to regulate derivatives but Greenspan, Rubin and Summers gagged her.

There were plenty of investment bankers who committed fraud, and mortgage brokers who committed fraud. Goldman Sachs account executives peddled investments to their customers while they were shorting the same investments. It's fraud and not one of them has had their ass dripping with cash dragged into court for any of it.

In fact I'm thrilled that you are supportive of Elizabeth Warren against the Wall Street Banksters.

If she runs for President can we count on you for a generous campaign donation?

How about some volunteer work canvasing and manning the phone banks too?

There was a PBS special on derivatives, the lady who tried to regulate them was shot down by Clinton.

Wrong Pete she was gagged by the Fed Chairman (an Ayn Rand follower), Treasury Sec Rubin and Larry Summers.

Money wins elections, and elections win the ability to make more dirty tax free because your company went overseas money.

I feel like things are so bad is Warren the only politician who thinks this is wrong? The GOP hate this because they can't run their mouths since they've been doing the same thing with every recent rep president and if they do they will be agreeing with someone who may be a candidate for Obamas office in 2016.
