Calling all Rs......tell us again why Bernanke is so bad.

A couple of quick reasons:

-His job isn't to make money for the Fed;

It was an added bonus......the Treasury can use the money. Don't look a gift horse in the mouth.

it's to keep inflation down while keeping employment up. He's mostly abandoned the second part of that mission.

How so?

-He didn't see the crisis coming, at all, and helped to bring it on.

-He's pretty much always going to err on the side of the banking industry. It's where he's from and what he's about.

Not the guy I want in the job.

I think you are being just a wee harsh. We all have biases and POVs. In a disaster that's not really the major concern. The guy got us through one of the worst economic crisis since WW II. As with most humans, he ain't perfect. The truth is there is no such thing as Superman.

So then, when you become king, you can pick.
