    ” Bernanke then served as chairman of President George W. Bush’s Council of Economic Advisers before President Bush appointed him on February 1, 2006, to be chairman of the United States Federal Reserve. Bernanke was confirmed for a second term as chairman on January 28, 2010, after being re-nominated by President Barack Obama.”

    Clearly a liberal.

      The term is four years and, as I understand it, cannot be ended early except through resignation or impeachment. Cannot be ended because the president or Congress do not like his/her decisions

      Typical stupid steve reasoning. He’s doing a shitty job, doesn’t matter if he’s liberal or not. Your constant refusal to deal with the here and now and the issue at hand is astounding.

    Ben Bernanke is clearly the type of career bureaucrat happy to serve under any ideology so long as he continues doing so, particularly in a position as prestigious as Chairman of the Federal Reserve.

    To maintain this sinecure he must continually be seen as doing important Federal Reservey things, regardless of their actual effects or outcomes; doing nothing, whether doing nothing actually ends up being either more helpful or more harmful, is clearly not what an important Federal Reservey thingy doing man does, particularly one appointed by a Forward looking President. Having an obviously important Federal Reservey thingy doing man like Bernanke at the switch in turn makes President Obama look more valuable: look at Bernanke, doing everything he can to help the common man get a job. A vote against Obama, that is, a vote for Romney, is a vote to do away with this valuable man, almost as if he were a Supreme court justice, but more important: doing those obviously important Federal Reservey thingies that immediately and continually help the common man.

    I thought most conservatives were in favor of the Fed doing nothing, or anyway as little as possible (as Jack Nicholson says in Chinatown.)
