I agree that Elizabeth Warren is a kind and decent person. However, I’ll say that anyone that truly understands the US political system and process can tell you that if she gets involved in politics or elected to office, most likely you will see a different Elizabeth Warren vs. the one now.
It’s sad but politics is dirty and many times you have to do things you don’t want to do. You have to raise funds, you have to give in on certain issues that you believe in and barter for other things.
The way things are structured, it’s very difficult for people like Elizabeth Warren to really “change the system”. I do think it’s a positive to have people like her in office but it would take many many many “Elizabeth Warrens” to really improve things.
I hope she wins but I hope she doesn’t get corrupted like many other politicians. I personally don’t think she will become corrupt but will find it is almost impossible to get things done.
As to Obama….whether you are a Republican or a Democrat, I haven’t talked to anyone that thinks he is living up to the potential of what he promised. From both sides, I think it’s safe to say he has been a huge disappointment. And his popularity numbers reflect that fact.
