Why state the obvious?

Elizabeth Warren spoke yesterday in support of the nomination of Richard Cordray to head the Consumer Finance Protection Bureau.  She said nothing new; the CFPB is doing its job, Cordray has been excellent thus far, he should be nominated.  

She also made this fundamental point which describes our government and its leaders today, “I am new to the Senate, but I don’t understand why this body accepts a system where this kind of political stalemate won’t end in more government or less government but just in bad government – government that lacks the consistency, clarity, and predictability that honest businesses and hard-working families need to plan a future.”
