Warren:..
There are those who don't want the President of the United States to have a political win and he is...let's face it, he worked hard on this agency. When the President and I met last summer, he said, there are two jobs on the table right now. One is I can nominate you but keep in mind you won't be able to talk about the agency or there is a job getting started putting together the thing together right now and which of the two are you most interested and I said RIGHT NOW. I want the one to start working on it right this minute. Right now, I am doing the job I want to be doing. It's a job I need to be doing. I am doing a start-up job. It is a 14 hours day job.................
Warren:
let me start with the first part, we would not have a consumer agency if not for president obama. Two years ago, right about now, he looked out and said the consumer agency, that's what i want to put in financial regulatory reform. Over the next year while everybody fought back and forth over the regular reform bill, there were a lot of offers on the table to get something else. He consistently said no, and a year ago right now, this week, he signed into law a bill that made this consumer agency exist and as strong and independent way.rest of TRANSCRIPT & Video:

“I want to be real clear. The reason I can not run this agency is because of Republicans,” Warren continued. “They have made it perfectly clear that they are not going to let this agency go forward if I am there. Fine, I can step away from this. What I care about is this agency.”
“I think it’s time to take the fight straight to the Republicans,” she added. “We need a director in place, that is the law, and we are not, not, not going to let the minority come in and dictate the terms of this agency – rip its arms and legs off before it is able to help a single family.”
