Rep. Maxine Waters (D-Calif.) said banks on Wall Street are "shaking in their boots" at the prospect of her becoming chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee.

Waters is next in line to take over as top Democrat on the panel following the retirement of Rep. Barney Frank (D-Mass.) at the end of 2012. She told California Democrats gathered for a convention last weekend that she was eager to take over at the top, urging them to help Democrats reclaim control of the House in the upcoming election.

Let me let you in on a secret. I am the senior-most person serving on the Financial Services Committee," she said. "Barney Frank is about to retire and guess who’s shaking in their boots This would be a good campaign ad in the making

[PetroniusMaximus]

“shaking in their boots” with laughter.

[marstegreg]

I think they are worried about how many of her relatives they will have to hire ( not to mention pay offs)

Maxine Waters Banks 'shaking in their boots' at thought of me as chairwomanOf course they are, all except your husband's bank.

Rep. Maxine Waters (D-umb)... fixed it.

“said banks on Wall Street are “shaking in their boots” at the prospect of her becoming chairwoman of the House Financial Services Committee.”

The shakedown would be astronomical.

Maxine Waters can’t find her own ass with both hands!

Rep Waters:

The banking industry is ‘shaking in their boots’ at the thought of you as chairwoman because you are an incompetent idiot who knows nothing about banking.

[brownsfan]

If I were a bank, I’d be afraid too. Who wants a corrupt moron making rules you have to follow?

[chris37]

Maxine, you are a blithering, drooling, totally corrupt, drooling, idiotic, moronic socialist.

The entire country should be shaking in its boots at the fact that you have been allowed anywhere near government.

[AngelesCrestHighway]

She’s nuttier than squirrel crap!

[cuban leaf]

Duh.

I’d be shaking in my boots too if I thought I was going to be regulated by an incompetent.

[massgopguy]

Never underestimate the power of the Brain Stem. This woman is not breathing voluntarily.

[Wiser now]

Would Pelosi risk putting that woman in charge?

[sjmjax]

I generally have high regard for Texas and Texans.

However, this Maxine Waters thing. Texans have some 'splain'n to do!

Or is she some sort of local joke. Sort of a political "ugly dog" contest entry.

[Rummyfan]

I shake in my boots every time I realize this thieving ditz is in Congress.

[Mr. Jeeves]

The banks own Obama and Obama owns Maxine, ergo, the banks own Maxine, too. The only thing she’s going to be saying is “How much do you need, Mr. Dimon?”

[Old Sarge]

I can see it now: race-based banking, race-based loans, and race-based hiring/firing. Melanin screening tests for loan applications. And applications written in Ebonics.

Think California.....

[Freedom56v2]

She is from California.
