In her book "The Two Income Trap" she mentions the fact that Clinton was advised to oppose a bill the bankers didn't like, which she referred to as "that awful bill," and advised her husband against it. <br /><br />But then after taking money from banks for her Senate campaign she supported a bill that was virtually identical. This criticism of Clinton at a time when she didn't appear to be in politics helped her win the Senate seat, even though the political operatives were already advising to use similar tactics, her second big book a "Fighting Chance mentioned the fact that as first lady she opposed "that awful bill" but doesn't mention that as Senator she supported it.<br /><br />She also wrote about how Lawrence Summers warned her not to criticize insiders, bragging about exposing the establishment. But then in the Senate she complimented Summers saying he provided great contributions to the economic system. However she still supported Janet Yellin, although her alleged criticism of Summers was very quit while others took the lead and Yellin also opposed Glass-Steagal and many other economic policies Warren claims to support. <br /><br />This is a common political tactic to come up with rhetoric defending the grassroots, with little or no action, while supporting other politicians that oppose it and prevent it from being passed.<br /><br />She want credit for trying, even when she indirectly helps sabotage some of her own positions.
