Sen. Warren to GOP: What's the Hold Up?

Since its creation in the Dodd-Frank financial reform legislation, the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau has been under attack by Republicans.  In the Senate, the Republican minority has been filibustering every attempt to place someone to head the new agency.  President Obama picked Richard Cordray - his 2nd choice - to lead the agency, and installed him as a recess nomination.  But now, Mr. Cordray is up for a full Senate confirmation and the GOP is doing whatever it can to block it.  The President's 1st choice for the job is not happy about that.  Not happy at all.

Sen. Elizabeth Warren (D-MA) took some time to blast Senate Republicans for their obstruction of the Cordray nomination, and of their filibuster of Mary Joe White, whom Obama tapped to head the Securities and Exchange Commission.  She minces no words in expressing her displeasure, and the folks at The Huffington Post have a great piece about that, with video.  You can read and watch it by clicking on the link below.
