Earlier this week, Democratic Senator Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) went on CNBC last Friday to debate the Glass-Steagall banking regulations that were adopted in 1933, and her proposal to update and strengthen the law in a way that would likely force the big banks to spin off some of their business and stop being so damn big.

As you can imagine, CNBC is no fan of Glass Steagall, regulating banks, or Elizabeth Warren.

During her appearance on CNBC, Warren basically kicked ass, the video went viral, with over 700,000 views in a matter of days, so CNBC pulled it.

Here’s what sits in place of the video now:

And where did CNBC pull the video from? They filed a complaint with YouTube and had the video yanked from the Senator’s official YouTube account - but only after it had accumulated over 700,000 views in a matter of days.

Apparently, the buzz over Warren’s appearance got so great, that CNBC anchor Jim Cramer had to try to shoot it down on Twitter (h/t to HuffPo for that point):

There is some weird strain of thought that CNBC got beaten by Senator Warren. I like the senator but she had NO impact. Sorry..

Yeah, Elizabeth Warren had so little impact that CNBC filed a complaint against the YouTube account of a United States Senator in order to get the no-impact video pulled.

I agree with you in that Bush went way overboard (and generally in the wrong direction) in “abandoning free market principles in order to save the free market”.

He was IMO a typical president’s son. Since he saw his dad “do it” (however mediocre dad’s single term), he thought he could do it. And as in anything, confidence and connections get you a long way. Despite his being a Harvard MBA, however, he wasn’t sharp enough in managing people outside his expertise to handle Treasury and the economy. His initial impulse not to simply trust the guy being sent from Goldman to run the economy, after some poor hiring, he settled for exactly that. And got fleeced.

And don’t get me started on his handing Obama what he wanted re: the auto manufacturers.

Yeah, he was interested in ‘protecting the country’, but from engaging in a land war in Afghanistan and toppling Saddam Hussein to, yes, education, and the economy he was completely in over his head.

Hey Freepers, I can’t stand this woman but she correct about this issue.
