It's extremely difficult not to respect the work of Dr. Warren. Truth told, I had never heard of her before Paulson and his TARP totalitarianism blew through Capitol Hill last Fall, but her relentless pursuit of bailout sunshine and justice on behalf of taxpayers makes her unique in Washington. So we use just about every opportunity we are afforded to showcase her work.
She is your most powerful ally in DC, and is so committed to her cause that she has been reported to dream in the alphabet soup of Fed and Treasury program acronyms. You already know that she fights on your behalf as head of the COP for Paulson's malfeasance. You might be less aware, that she's been championing the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency to represent your interests in Washington.
One of the few positives of Obama's speech yesterday was his mention of support for the CFPA as it makes it way through Congress. Rachel Maddow (I know, her voice alone is difficult to stomach), had Dr. Warren on last night to discuss the issues, including some honest talk about the omnipotent banking lobby. Also throwing in a clip of Warren with Maria Bartiromo from last week discussing Geithner's testimony before the Congressional Oversight Panel.
