BO going hard-line, and not supportive of saving investment banks anymore.
BO nominated him, I don’t think he’s going to back out of backing him…What’s the vote count needed to get rid of Bernanke? I know that 5 aren’t backing him and 18 are undecided in the Democrat caucus or something…
Bernanke will be reconfirmed. Bet on it.

he will be reconfirmed - didn’t you see Washington back pedaling all weekend after that drop last week?
if he is not reconfirmed it’s because of political reasons not bec he is a terrible terrible central banker. i don’t know what would people who oppose him do differently.
Why do the Republicans not like Bernanke?

Because even though Bush appointed him he’s basically viewed as a member of Team Democrat now and at this point the Democrats could introduce a bill banning gay marriage, abortion, and Jersey Shore and the Republicans still wouldn’t support it. That being said Bernanke is in, Geithner is out.
@Halber: Lol so true, the morning talk shows were hilarious!
