Courting Warren
Elizabeth, that is, for Consumer Financial Protection

What's with the clamor? A popular Democrat?
Someone who's dying to rein in the banks?
Not a Geithner, or Summers, or Treasury lackey
To whom the banks owe their undying thanks.

We've found double-agents make lousy advisors,
They're one of the reasons Barack's ratings have tanked.
Who's paying Timmy? We, the people, or Wall Street?
Does the FBI know by which banks Tim's being thanked?

Consumer Financial Protection needs Warren.
Bank lobbyists hate she's not one of the mob.
She's not a toothless Tim Geithner attorney.
That makes her the logical one for the job.

If we want to inspire more hatred against us,
Restrict who's allowed to construct his own church.
If there's someone banks fear and don't want appointed,
Make sure she's the one that they fight and besmirch.

When you see just how much consumer protection
From usurious banks has long been her goal,
It's no wonder big banks and their lobbyists fear
Her appointment could trigger a "fire in the hole,"

With farewell to bank practices that hurt the consumer.
Farewell to big banks who're bilking us all.
No tricking and fleecing by credit card lenders,
If Oompa-Loompas don't win in the Fall.
