The differences between Obama and GOP front-runner Mitt Romney are so small, it's hard to come up with a good argument to care about his 2012 campaign. There are some differences but each time Obama charges into GOP territory, they become smaller and smaller. If this is the best the Democrats can deliver, count me out. Bloomberg:
President Barack Obama has chosen a candidate other than Elizabeth Warren as director of the new Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, according to a person briefed on the matter.
The president’s choice is a person who already works at the consumer agency, the person said today. Obama may make the nomination as soon as next week, another person briefed on the administration’s plans said.
The people, who spoke on condition of anonymity because the process isn’t public, didn’t give the name of the choice.
