1. Private jets and catered meals...

...wow, so impressive how she reaches out to the middle class.

Excuse me, but I need to tell my maid, butler and pilot to get my jet ready...I need to go to Nordstom's in NoCal. Back in a bit! Just have to get a few Christmas tidbits for the pets!

2. Did you even read the article, and are you even aware where buffet stands on the issues of wage

inequality?

3. But not the other Warren

4. Enough with hanging out with billionaires, "good" or "bad"... how about hanging out with us!!!

Warren Buffett is a well-meaning, good-natured guy, but he's basically a rich kid who got even richer investing in things like Coca-Cola and Fruit of the Loom underwear, and Geico insurance. He's really not that interesting a character. And the idea that he has the ear of one of our candidates is yet more evidence of what everyone knows - that money still buys influence. We need our candidates to stop sending that message. Now.

5. He advocates that the wealthy pay much higher taxes.

He famously pointed out that his secretary unfairly pays a higher percentage of taxes than he does.

So maybe he will "buy" higher taxes on the wealthy from Bernie or HRC, depending on who gets the nomination. That would be nice.

6. Good old boy Warren - so PROUD of the way Wells Fargo ripped off minorities.

After the Wells Fargo "way of doing business" came to light when questioned I remember Buffet saying he was proud of how Wells Fargo conducted its business. His image is nothing more than a false facade.
