| Chair Matz |
As you know we have an NCUA Board vacancy coming up this April. Chairman Matz's term expires; and, as you also know, even the most competent of Board members can not be reappointed. So we have a new opportunity at hand....
Was talking to a long-time friend about this matter a few weeks ago. Won't tell you his name, but will tell you he is an exceptionally successful Credit Union manager from California, with an impeccable record of leadership over 30 years. He's good; I mean real good! And, still looks like a beachboy surfer - flattop, golden suntan, Hawaiian shirt, probably still drives a Muscle car! Down-to-earth, good-natured, easy laugh, wildly knowledgeable, and "eat-up" with credit unions through and through.
I told him, listen I've got the ideal candidate for the NCUA Board vacancy! Want to here about it?
Sure, what's the scoop?
Well, how would you like a candidate who had a superb knowledge of the financial marketplace; had Ivy League-level academic credentials; was politically savvy and super well-connected in DC?
Oh man, that sounds great!
Well, what if I told you that in this "politically prissy, correct world" that the candidate was also a female who could "talk trash" equally well with Jon Stewart or Rush Limbaugh; had Mid-western, heartland-values and roots; was a geeky-sort of "babe with baby blues", who could handle high-heels; and probably was a Pinot Gris sippin' Episcopalian, packing an authenticated US of A birth certificate!
C'mon, you're making this all up; it's too good to be true!
No I'm not and there is more! What if I told you
that the "b-word folks" were so terrified of this person that if we would "take her off their hands"; they would probably never again mention biz-loan caps, field of membership, or 'da tax exemption! Really, they would probably issue us a perpetual "get-out-of-jail-free" pass in Congress!!!! I mean is this the opportunity of a lifetime or what??!!! And - icing on the cake - this lady not only knows what a credit union is..... she actually belongs to one!!!?? I mean, I mean can you stand it?!!!

| Free pass in Congress!? |
Yeah right; you're crazy - in an absolute sort of way! Where are we going to find an ideal candidate like that? Smart, qualified, savvy, articulate, leader, dynamo mover and shaker ..... I'd go for it in a heartbeat, but that kind of talent doesn't usually come wrapped in just one package - especially not an Episcopalian babe sporting stilettos - that's just a bridge too far!!
Oh yeah! Well what about Dr. Elizabeth Warren...?
Elizabeth Warren?? Did you say Elizabeth Warren????

| Didn't know that! |
But she's a Communist....!!!
Oh?.... Hmmm?.....
Well, other than that.....

My man, you forget you are talking about NCUA, a rogue agency.Few actually seek appointment to the board wanting to and believing they can make a difference. Most grab at the chance because they see it as a good place to be for six years and if all is well not work too hard.And remember what you see is not always what you get. Just ask the folks from out West.
EW's thoughts are way beyond a seat on a punk agency board.
With Hillary carrying too much email baggage, EW could be the Dems best hope. The increasing number of voters thinking government makes life easier could put her in the white house.
Sad but very possible reality.
Nostradamus
EW would mean no changes at CFPB which would means bad news for CU's.
