Either Maxine Waters is dumber than a loaf of bread or she thinks that the American voters are all idiots, that can be the only explanation for her amendment to H.R. 3126, legislation to establish a Consumer Financial Protection Agency (CFPA), that will make ACORN eligible to play a role in setting regulations for financial institutions. Yes that ACORN.

Mad-Maxine's amendment adds to the CFPA Oversight Board 5 representatives from the fields of "consumer protection, fair lending and civil rights, representatives of depository institutions that primarily serve underserved communities, or representatives of communities that have been significantly impacted by higher-priced mortgages" to join Federal banking regulators in advising the Director on the consistency of proposed regulations, and strategies and policies that the Director should undertake to enforce its rules, giving ACORN an advisory role on regulating the very financial institutions from which they receive millions of dollars annually in direct corporate contributions and benefit from other financial partnerships and arrangements.

'Either Maxine Waters is dumber than a loaf of bread or she thinks that the American voters are all idiots'

I vote 'all of the above', and so are the not-fit-to-breathe-my-air pig droppings who keep sending this genetic defective back to Washington.

Remember, there were people stupid enough to keep voting for Cynthia McKinney.
So the answer is “MORE than all of the above.”
