I wonder if Senator Scott Brown called Senate Minority Leader Mitch McConnell and other Republican leaders the day after the election, and asked them why they opposed the appointment of Elizabeth Warren to be the head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. If she had been appointed to that position, then Brown might still be a senator in the next Congress.
It just seems that the Republicans did a good job of putting Warren in exactly the position that they did not want.

Obama never put Warren up for a vote because he knew he did not have the votes. A true leader would have gone through the process.
For the record, I own houses in MA and NH. I am registered to vote in NH.

You sound like someone from General George Armstrong Custer's leadership school. Obama and Warren as planners have proven to be formidable chess players. Now that New Hampshire is becoming more progressive, you may want to consider moving to South Carolina or Alabama.
I live in MA as well as NH. I am a legal resident of NH for tax purposes. Are you implying that Obama did not put her up for nomination so she could run for the "Kennedy" seat?
Facing gridlock, it was a chess move well executed as a run for the people's seat. It worked. She won.

The whole "Consumer Protection Agency" is questionable. It was designed to be UNACCOUNTABLE to Congress. It sets it's own budget. And every staff member get a salary high enough to be a 1% er.
