The people have spoken and they WANT Elizabeth Warren as the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau.  Sorry Geitner, you LOSE!   Listening to CSPAN this morning you would think that we have a single political party in this country.  When C-SPAN posed the question of  “should Elizabeth Warren run the Consumer Financial Protection Agency [Bureau]” something like 99 percent of all the callers, Democrats, Republicans, Independents, and Libertarians, from all over the country voiced their enthusiastic support for Elizabeth Warren to lead the new bureau.  As a long time listener to Washington Journal this was a first!  It was fantastic to hear that people see the greatness in this woman that I have been preaching for the last eighteen months.  Warren is a lifetime advocate for the consumer and is the only person who can be trusted with shaping this new agency in the spirit of its genesis.

This is also very important to the American people being that the Bureau’s focus will be consumer protection.  This is the Wall Street police and Elizabeth Warren is the only CREDIBLE person who can walk the beat.  The President should know that for people to think he is serious he must choose the right person for this job.  This is Elizabeth Warren’s brainchild and for her not to be the first person to lead it and set the tone would be a travesty to her as a loyal supporter of this administration and a travesty to the consuming public.  The only folks who are alleged to have a problem with Warren are Geitner (because he wants his asst treasury secretary for the position and Warren calls him on his BS), Wall Street (who wants a competent cop with integrity), and the GOP (Wall Street enabler).

Main Street or Wall Street?  Elizabeth Warren has proven that she is most definitely Main street.  If the President’s goal is to look out for Main Street neither of the other two candidates in contention  will do it as well as Warren. Warren is a trustworthy, independent, common sense voice who has the backs of the American people.  We will know how serious the President is about consumer protection and this Bureau when he makes this pick.

We trust Elizabeth Warren similar to the way we trust you Mr. President.  Please don’t let us down.
