Maria Cantwell Comes Off as a Hero in Ron Suskind's Hot New Book on Obama Administration
Seattle Weekly ^ | 9/19/2011 | Nina Shapiro

Posted on 09/19/2011 3:28:11 PM PDT by Baynative

"Talk is circulating about an eye-opening new book on the Obama administration set to come out tomorrow. Confidence Men, by Pulitzer-prize winning author Ron Suskind, suggests that a handful of power-hungry, Wall Street-loving advisers undermined the president's quest for financial reform, according to an early look at the book by New York magazine. To boot, these advisers, including the "insubordinate" Tim Geithner and the "monomaniacal" Larry Summers, were "pretty awful to women," says New York's Adam Moss. A number of women, in contrast, come off as heroes--among them our own Sen. Maria Cantwell."

Cantwell is down to 39% approval with no challengers to date. This doesn't bode well for her.

Clint Didier is speaking out here on the Peninsula next week. It looks like he is gearing up.

‘handful of power-hungry, Wall Street-loving advisers undermined the president’s quest for financial reform,’

“Oh, look, it’s not obozo’s fault”

Sounds like the ‘bad Wall Street moguls,’ including all the financial advisors who have left (because he’s an idiot), are really the reason Obama is doing so poorly. Nice to have yet another scapegoat. And of course Larry Summers, well-respected until he dared to Speak the Truth (”women want to stay home with their kids; men do better in math and science”), is now going to be tossed under the bus.

Obama needs more people to blame in order to make himself smell sweet. He’ll find them.

Slutty beeyatches too. Cantwell is a very well known “cougar” that frequents the little mister clubs around Seattle.

Do tell.

Cantwell is the better of my two senators. That Patty “Osama” Murray is a far left loon. I am very perturbed that she is on that super-committee of 12 to find spending cuts.

Being the best of those two is no achievement. They are partisan hacks through and through. Like their President and ‘our’ Governor, they ignore any rational views if they are divergent from the party line, the liberal line, the union line, the minority line or the environmental extremism line.

Well we already know that Summers is a creep for suggesting that men are better at math than women........
