Presidential candidate Elizabeth Warren wove details of her personal history — her father’s heart attack, her mother’s minimum wage job, her commuter college — with calls for a radical remaking of America’s economy and political system, as she spoke in Seattle on Sunday to what her staff called the largest crowd of her 7-month-old campaign.
The U.S. senator from Massachusetts described a country that has gone off course. When she was a child and her father got sick, she recalled, her mother was able to take a minimum wage job at Sears that paid the mortgage and put food on the table. When Warren went to college, she said, it cost $50 a semester. Law school was $450 a semester.
“Today, a full-time minimum wage job in America will not keep a mama and a baby out of poverty, that is wrong,” Warren said, underneath the Space Needle, at Seattle Center. “Understand this, that difference is no accident, that difference is who government works for.”
Warren, who is running second or third among nearly two dozen Democratic candidates in polling averages, described a government that works for drug companies, but not people filling prescriptions. A government for investors in private prisons, but not for families torn apart by incarceration. A government that once had two political parties that aimed to address climate change, but now, largely, does not.

It looks like Pocahontas speak with forked tongue about heap big PowWow.
But that's okay, we found a picture of the crowd - it looks like 1,500; clearly not 15,000.
The Seattle Times clearly knew it was a lie but repeated it anyway - other MSM outlets were clear by saying that 'Elizabeth Warren estimated the crowd at 15,000. Nobody included a picture.
"The Hill" at least was more measured, their headline at least made it clear that the crowd size was estimated by Warren herself: "Warren says 15,000 attended her Seattle rally."
dozens upon dozens.
Chief Walking Eagle go on warpath.
Mmmkay.
Or else what?
Who dresses that woman?
Yo, Soaring Turkey, you and your pals have spent The U.S. into a 22 trillion dollar debt. If everything isn’t free by now.....

Wow. Second fluff piece about Warren by the enemy media in 2 days.
Lying Rats gotta lie.
Elect this person at your peril.
Is even one of her little personal stories true?
At least she is not wearing Hillary potato sacks.
IMO what Warren wears is worse than what Hillary wears. She looks like a librarian in a third rate city or the customer service manager at Kohl’s.
Nothing about the 2-room tepee?
“Nobody gets to stay on the sidelines!”
Comrades, you’re either for us or against us. You may not be interested in socialism, but socialism is interested in you.
Read Doctor Zhivago and see what happened to someone who just wanted to live his own life.
In the belly of the beast that’s all she can draw?
Her speech sounds like she’s channeling John Edwards - Two Americas.
Wow. They sure are hyping this 15,000 myth. First it was 12,000. Now it’s up to 15,000. Do I hear 16, 17, 18,000? Who will give me 20?
