Elizabeth Warren may come from Harvard, but her resemblance to Larry Summers and Timothy Geithner, both of whom opposed her appointment, ends there. Her appointment is just about the first thing Obama has done that is consistent with the wishes of his base. She, unlike the rest of the Ivy League crowd gathered around Obama, actually cares about fairness in the banking and consumer credit markets that affect those of us who do not occupy the seats of power in Wall Street institutions. Obama is on the right track. Now he needs to fire Summers and Geithner, support Rahm Emanuel’s career choice to go back into Chicago politics, and take a vow never again to utter the word “bi-partisanship”.
