So, someone in the Obama administration is floating the idea that it would be a good to make (likely soon to be former her election is still to close to call) Congress woman Melissa Bean head of the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau? (CFPB)<\/p>\n

Yes, the Democrat most hostile to both to banking regulations in general and to the CFPB in general<\/a>, is being mooted by some idiot in the Obama administration economic team *cough* Timothy “Eddie Haskell” Geithner *cough* being the first official head of a bureau dedicated to protecting consumers from predatory lenders.<\/p>\n

If Elizabeth Warren played the role of Martin Luther, protesting the corruption in the system by nailing her 95 theses to the door of the church, then Melissa Bean is the Church of Wall Street’s Temple Prostitute, selling indulgences.*<\/sup><\/p>\n

And someone in the Obama white house wants her to head the CFPB.<\/p>\n

Never heard of Melissa Bean? Well Jane Hamshire has the bill of particulars<\/a>: (quoting)<\/p>\n
