21. Nonsense. As president, she could appoint the Sec. of Treasury, the Sec. of Commerce

and right down the line. Who do you think Hillary will appoint?

My guess is more Citibank and Wall Street folks.

I've heard that "she is more effective" nonsense so many times. As have those who repeat it here. It does not really make any sense.

A person is always more effective as president than as a senator.

Yes. She will be obstructed just as President Obama has been.

But did you watch the video?

When Elizabeth Warren is obstructed, she just hunkers down and explains her view a little more clearly.

When Obama is obstructed,. he shrugs his shoulders and tries to make the best of it.

When Hillary Clinton is obstructed, she reaches out her hand for more money and gives in all the while telling herself that "compromise is necessary."

It's time for us to try Elizabeth Warren's method in handling obstruction. Much as I like Obama, I've had enough shoulder shrugging. And I am not about to put up with the reaching out of the hand for more money and "compromising because it is necessary."

I want a fighter. I want a president who can debate and persuade. I want Elizabeth Warren in the White House.
