Elizabeth Warren: Barack Obama Sold Out Average Americans “Over and Over and Over”
by Aurelius • October 13, 2014
In an exclusive interview with Salon, Senator Elizabeth Warren slammed Barack Obama over an apparent betrayal of the American middle class in favor of Wall Street.
The interview talked about a number of subjects, touching on President Bush, to finance, to regulations, and to the Democratic National Convention. Possibly, the most important statement, however, came when Ms. Warren spoke about President Obama’s supposed backing of Wall Street interests over average Americans.
The question that set Warren off was asked by a jaded Obama supporter, who at one time felt that the President would tackle important issues, but failed to do so, which “frustrated” the author.
“I understand your frustration, Tom and, actually, I talk about this in the book,” Warren explained. She then lightly praised the President for what Warren perceives to be good work. But her tone took a quick turn.
“He picked his economic team and when the going got tough, his economic team picked Wall Street,” Warren said, accusing the President of backing “Wall Street” instead of average Americans.
Following up on that, the author said that the President “always” backed Wall Street.
Warren answered back quickly (emphasis mine), “That’s right. They protected Wall Street. Not families who were losing their homes. Not people who lost their jobs. Not young people who were struggling to get an education. And it happened over and over and over. So I see both of those things and they both matter.”
Elizabeth Warren
Warren, who Salon glowingly called “the single most exciting Democrat currently on the national stage,” is considered by some to be a potential candidate for President in 2016. Distancing herself from President Obama may be an early attempt of Warren to position herself to criticize his failures should opponents try to link her with him.
