Ed Henry: Warren fired up
Posted: September 17th, 2010 11:29 AM ET

11:10 a.m. - Just bumped into a downright jovial Elizabeth Warren arriving at the northwest gate of the White House ahead of the president's unveiling of her as a new special assistant.

Warren told me she's "very confident" she will have real power to get the new consumer protection agency set up with some teeth, based on reassuring conversations she has had with President Obama .

Critics have wondered whether Obama is bypassing a Senate confirmation battle - by making her special adviser instead of the confirmable director of the new agency - and will leave her a toothless tiger.

But Warren just told me unequivocally she's fired up and ready to "get some things done" immediately.

1. But... but...

She's just a tool and a dupe and a lackey of Tim Geithner! Oh noes!

2. Silly little woman. Opednews assured us she was a clueless tool of Obama. Maybe she just

hasn't figured it out yet.

3. Well, it seems Ms. Warren is making her thoughts public and is...

already rolling up her sleeves in order to "get things done" starting right away and is the antithesis of "a toothless tiger". I hope the "critics" have the decency to admit they were wrong. I don't hold out much hope though, they will just find something else to use to spread their lies and distortions.

5. LOL, well, I did read an article that intimated she was participating in a FRAUD by ...

the very fact she is, get this, being appointed and doing exactly what many on DU requested, demanded be done. I think there is an alternate reality some seem to inhabit where when one's demands are being met it's a BAD thing, lol.

6. I know it's nuts

they get exactly what they want, and they're still looking for something to not be happy about with it.

I'm sorry, but I'm not going to be convinced of anything by people who can do such ridiculous mental summersaults.

8. It is nuts, isn't it...

A real Alice in Wonderland alternate universe it seems.
