So what if he was associated with the Federal Reserve, though? Heck, at least he understands what they do. The rest of this bunch has no clue, and Obama is even worse.
Being a Regional Federal Reserve bank President means he wasn’t involved in monetary policy or currency valuation or any of that Jekyll Island stuff, but he does have a better knowledge of how the entire system operates and can deal with it more effectively than those who screech about it the loudest but don’t even know the difference in the Regional Banks and the Board of Governors (or don’t even know the difference between the Fed, Treasury and Mint as some of the vocal ones seem to portray).
