(MIC NOISE) (LAUGHTER) A long time ago, in the land of Sessa Marimbe, the people there were so happy. They were happy every single day of their lives. Do you know why? Because the sky was right above their heads. I mean, the sky was so close to their heads, everybody could just reach up their hands and everybody could touch the sky. But not only was the sky right above their heads, the sky was also food, chakula. Can you say chakula? VOICES: Chakula. TRANSCRIPT: CELEBRATING 20 YEARS OF OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE–BALTIMORE WITH PATRICK GASPARD AND THE 2018 2 OPEN SOCIETY INSTITUTE COMMUNITY FELLOWS MARIA BROOM: Yes, and it was so delicious. That meant that if the children were hungry, instead of having to run home to their parents to eat anything, all they had to do was reach up their little fingers, grab a piece of that sky, pop into their mouths and they were happy. Or the women.

Articles with Major Mentions of Michael S. Barr January 20, 2009 – October 31, 2010 Cheyenne Hopkins, White House backs Itself into a Corner Letting CFPB Remain Leaderless, American Banker, August 27, 2010. WASHINGTON — Although President Obama made the creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Bureau a hallmark of the financial reform law enacted July 21, his delay in nominating the agency's first director could hamper its ability to get off the ground. With so much riding on the appointment, several observers had expected Obama to make his choice clear within days of the law's enactment. Instead, the absence of a pick has given rise to a grassroots campaign to appoint Elizabeth Warren to the job, which could create a political issue for the administration whether it ultimately chooses her or not. The Treasury Department, in the meantime, is tasked with getting the agency up and running, and observers said it is critical that a director be nominated and confirmed relatively soon. "There's a lot of operational work that can be done without a director being done, but some of the most profoundly difficult things comes down to having a leader," said Raj Date, the chairman and executive director of the Cambridge Winter Center for Financial Institutions Policy. "Leadership matters. If you are trying to have an agency that attracts the best and brightest for the sector, then you have to have a leader." Creating the consumer bureau was the first in a long list of tasks the agency must accomplish in its first year. Among other things, it must merge mortgage disclosure laws and outline a vision of its own authority.
