I just joined, first post, so forgive me if this is old stuff already.  I was very distraught to see Elizabeth Warren passed over for continuing to head the consumer protection bureau.  Is it another case of spinelessness on the part of our fearless leader?

I am still holding my breath, hoping there is a plan afoot.  As a resident of Massachusetts, I would love to have her take back Ted Kennedy’s seat in the Senate.  Did she really leave the fledgling protection bureau in competant hands to do this?  And do I have to believe that women’s issue watchers like NOW are all on board?  I have to say that Ralph Nader made some excellent observations to the contrary  (see Amy Goodman’s Democracy Now for Tues, July 19).
