What PR genius advised Hillary Clinton to pen an ode to Elizabeth Warren for Time magazine's list of the 100 most influential people in the world? He or she should get banned from One Pierrepont.
Clinton gushed:
"It was always going to take a special kind of leader to pick up Ted Kennedy's mantle as senior Senator from Massachusetts-champion of working families and scourge of special interests. Elizabeth Warren never lets us forget that the work of taming Wall Street's irresponsible risk taking and reforming our financial system is far from finished. And she never hesitates to hold powerful people's feet to the fire: bankers, lobbyists, senior government officials and, yes, even presidential aspirants."
Due to her focus on the income inequality issue, many Americans consider Warren their champion. Clinton, who is Wall Street's best friend, fails to inspire.
During her re-invention tour, Hillary announced she's a "champion of everyday Americans" and said, "the deck is stacked in favor of those at the top."
In Iowa, she said something is wrong when "hedge-fund managers pay lower taxes than nurses or the truckers I saw on I-80 when I was driving here over the last two days.”
Wall Street, which has shelled out hundreds of thousands of dollars in speech fees to Clinton, smiles at such rhetoric from the candidate. Bankers understand criticisms from Clinton are nothing but empty words.
Warren, on the other hand, is a worthy foe of Wall Street, which has threatened to withhold donations to the Democratic party unless she changed her tone.
Lizzie's response: "Give me a break."
On April 15, Warren called for breaking up big banks, saying if they want access to government deposit insurance they should be restricted to "boring banking." Taxpayers shouldn't be "on the hook" if banks engage in high-risk trading, said the Senator.
Clinton shouldn't be singing the praises of the Massachusetts Senator. It only reminds millions of Americans what the currently only Democratic candidate is not.
A Warren/Clinton primary competition would energize voters and strengthen the Democratic party.
Warren, by the way, is a grandmother of three, which eliminates one of Hillary's main selling points.
The ridiculously high prices Americans are paying at the supermarket might influence how—or if—they vote in November.
At a moment in history when there are so many conflicts among peoples here and abroad, let us put our differences aside and celebrate this wonderful season in a spirit of togetherness.
The news announcing the death of Henry Kissinger, the last of the prevaricating politicians and so-called statesmen who stole my future and that of thousands of other young Americans, got me thinking about Walter Cronkite.
