THE WARREN FILE

Born 22 June1949, in Oklahoma City to Don Herring, a janitor, and his wife, Pauline, their fourth child.

Best of times Against strong opposition from the financial lobby and Wall Street advocating and forcing through the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau in September 2010, designed to prevent another crash.

Worst of times Failing to win the backing of President Obama to be the first director of the new agency, after 44 of 47 Republican senators signed a letter to the president suggesting that Warren would have too much power in the role.

What she says “Corporations are not people. People have hearts, they have kids, they get jobs, they get sick, they cry, they dance. That matters because we don’t run this country for corporations, we run it for people.”

What others say “Warren wants stringent government control of firearms, robust health care subsidies, and government-mandated wages for low-paid workers. She would make Obama look like Ronald Reagan.” Bill O’Reilly, Fox News
