    She has co-sponsored a bill that would break up the megabanks. She has labored to expose why it is that federal regulators never take big banks to court. She decries the way reform battles in Congress pit a few dozen activists against thousands of industry lobbyists, an asymmetry that virtually guarantees victory for the status quo.
I don't know much about Warren on a policy level. Have any if these bills or "laborings" had any real teeth? Theatre is one thing actually fighting for real and effective change is another.

My post Obama view on politics is so cynical that I have a tough time caring anymore. It sucks.

Welcome to the club. Although I was always hesitant to jump on the "change" bandwagon and tended to be extremely apathetic towards politics.

I was fairly young when Obama became President, and I've grown up (as a teenager) with him as president. It's been really formative. I'll always be skeptical and cynical about politicians for the rest of my life now. Thanks, Obama!
