*-- Elizabeth Warren: Obama protected Wall Street, not people --*
WASHINGTON (UPI) - Elizabeth Warren, the Democratic senator from Massachusetts, recently sat down for an exclusive interview with Thomas Frank of Salon. During the interview, she claimed President Obama's administration "protected Wall Street. Not families who were losing their homes. Not people who lost their jobs. Not young people who were struggling to get an education. And it happened over and over and over."

Warren has been vocal concerning corruption on Wall Street and how it has hurt the economy, while she sees families struggling with little help from the government that allows those corporations to do so. Warren praises President Obama for creating the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau, but she thinks he could do more to help struggling families find paths to a better financial situation.

Other parts of the interview feature Warren talking about the high cost of college tuition, risky business practices and the need for large government reforms. She said that aside from large campaign contributions, lobbyists and lawyers are fighting for the rich in a way that the poor and middle class don't get represented. "The system is rigged. And now that I've been in Washington and seen it up close and personal, I just see new ways in which that happens," she said.
