Elizabeth Warren

Elizabeth Warren, appointed by President Obama as special adviser to Treasury Secretary Timothy Geithner, "is effectively running the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau." "The pride of Harvard Law School, Ms. Warren is a hero to the political left for proposing a new bureaucracy to micromanage the services that banks can offer consumers. But she is also so politically controversial that no less a liberal lion than Connecticut Senator Chris Dodd has warned the White House that she probably isn't confirmable."
