Thats weird ... most people only know Bernanke from commentators making fun of his helicopter comment. Most real economists I know think Bernanke would be fine as FED Chair. Dr. DeLong was very positive about him for CEA: delong.typepad.com I can find other positive comments for you.

From Dr. Thoma (from an email he just sent me): "Helicopter statement ... is a big red herring. Nobody knows theory/data better [than Bernanke]." "I would be pleased with Bernanke." That is two top economists (DeLong and Thoma) that think Bernanke would be fine.
