Senator Elizabeth Warren, always outspoken on the tension between Main Street and Wall Street, took shots Sunday at a system she said is "rigged" against the little guy.
In an interview in Salon, Warren, who has said she doesn't plan to seek the 2016 presidential nomination, said fellow Democrats including President Obama have not done enough to help consumers.
On President Obama: Warren praised Obama for the creation of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, a federal agency aimed at enforcing consumer protection laws.
But she told Salon that "there has not been nearly enough change" in the wake of the U.S. financial crisis.
"He picked his economic team and when the going got tough, his economic team picked Wall Street. ...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."
On lobbyists: Banks spend millions on "armies of lobbyists and lawyers," she told Salon, but there are few people at "the decision-making table" representing the concerns of everyday Americans.
"And when that happens -- not just once, not just twice, but thousands of times a week -- the system just gradually tilts further and further."

I wanna puke.
But you’re prolly correct.
Yep. That rhetoric is gonna usher her into the White Hut IMO.
Indian squaw Liz Warren sure is getting out there and in our faces a lot.
Is it possible that the radical liberal side of the Democrat party will push her, and not Hillary, for president?
I’ve heard rumblings that the Clinton’s aren’t liberal enough for lots of Democrats.
And Warren could be the historic first woman president. No need for Hillary if there is a more liberal woman out there.

Cruz will run circles around her.
Obama’s economic team chose Wall Street over ‘families’and the golf course over working.
“Ur gettin’ SCROOOOOD and I’m just the gal to punish the guys doin’ it to ya!” is gonna resonate with a whole lot of low infos.
She got the dem talking points memo that told zeros sycophants to pretend to oppose him so that hilLIARy can run as zeros opposition and the country’s next savior.
Sure thought the wall streeters like The Hildabeast & she took her share of money from them. Also Buffett endorses her
Wait..
WHAT????
I guess this means that Elizabeth Warren is a rassiss that just hates the idea of a black president, right?
That's because only the 1%ers can afford the $50,000 fund raiser tickets.
She wants to be Commandant of the first re-education camp for enemies of the state.
The further left they are the more they are trying to disempower the comon person so thi sis just BS.
“Ive heard rumblings that the Clintons arent liberal enough for lots of Democrats.”
Most of my liberal acquaintances during the Clinton administration thought he was too conservative and not really a liberal. After all, he ran as a “New Democrat”, socially liberal but economically a centralist. Most liberals will never forgive him for welfare reform.
