and totally hot

...kind of a leader from God. She is charismatic, exciting, passionate, but most of all magnetic, meaning that at some point you just stop listening to what it is exactly that she is saying and just float along inside some sort of energy field that she creates. Ronald Reagan was like that so were JFK, MLK, Trotsky, Hitler. In short those who moved masses, irrespective of whether for good or bad.  

Have you seen Warren and Hillary together on TV? Did you see the difference in body language? That's the difference between a truly natural politician and someone who really shouldn't be doing what she's doing.  

If she'd run she'd get enough excited supporters, not to say groupies to follow her anywhere she went. Kind of like Bernie and Trump.  

But what many also forget that Warren really is not as left of center as was Bernie. Warren is an avid free marketeer, who is a former republican who became democrat after she realized that big corporations use politicians to pass laws that compromise free market competition in their favor. That means that they no longer compete in free market settings but use government influence, in fact most of the time even pass legislation that skew market into their favor. I presume that's what you would call "corporate welfare."  
It would've been quite perilous for any republican to confront Warren on how and who is more pro-free market oriented.  

The other thing that often gets forgotten is that, despite being a Senator from Massachusetts, Elizabeth Warren is a southerner, born and bread in Oklahoma. She often acts more Southern then Northern and can put on that southern accent that would make every Texan feel like she belongs.  

So would've Warren succeeded where Bernie didn't? Maybe.  

That being said however, Warren is just not interested. There are rumors circulating in Mass that she even doesn't like her current job and there is a possibility that she may not even run for re-election. Her main problem apparently is the excessive scrutiny that her job brings along. If that's the way she feels about being a Senator, she really made the right decision when she decided not to run in Democratic primaries. She would've been overwhelmed were she to be elected pres.

I've never claimed to be a financial expert Gag.
I'm good with numbers and algorithms, not dollars and sense.

I'll take the hint and get back to you assuming this thread hasn't been trolled down to page 3 by tomorrow.

especially when the public sector has an Elizabeth Warren biting at your leg. It seem once a year executive(s) from a company or an industry are paraded in front of a Congressional hearing. If it's not the banks, it's pharma, or oil companies, or even a Tim Cook of Apple. They are by definition no-win situations. It's usually just STFU, and get out of there as fast as you can.

I only watched clips of the hearing, and yes maybe you're right that Stumpf should have been more prepared and forthcoming on addressing Tolsted, as well as executive compensation. But Stumpf realizes that these pitch fork proceedings have a life span of a day.  

Without question, the BOD and the Executive Compensation Committee of each publicly held company has to do a better job. If they did, Warren's role would be minimized. Also the quarterly earnings parade puts significant pressure on everyone to play with the numbers. Maybe changing quarterly earnings to at bi-annual could lessen the pressure a bit.

Maybe this is a good time to provide another example on the differences between a liberal and a conservative, or even an independent. In the above matter, the liberal would be blowing a gasket on the inequities of life, I on the other hand, would be looking to buy WFC stock. I mean look at today's price action, plus the Fed eventually will move to raise rates, which is good for banks. You can bitch about problems, or take advantage of an opportunity.  

P.S. Mari, if you are reading, please give me a heads up if you are thinking about buying WFC, or any bank for that matter. Don't take this the wrong way, but whatever you do, I'll do the opposite (lol)

He was an idiot when he deferred to the comp committee on the "clawback" issue. He's chairman and ceo for crying out loud. Does anyone really think they'd buck him on this?
