Bernanke is in a tough position. By law he has an unworkable dual mandate. He has a legal requirement to foster full employment and control inflation. By government standards there is no or little inflation. Hence - by law he has to keep money cheap.

Now - perhaps a principled position would be to resign. However, failing that - he is simply following the law. The dual mandate IMO is the problem.
