HOWEVER, he might be the best central banker in the illustrious history of that breed, but no matter, when he drones, "it might take five or six years before we get back to full employment..." I know, clearly, that he doesn't get it. He's an academic, he doesn't understand the human engines of growth when acadademics just keep their greasy little hands off of them.
He's a national disaster, just like everyone else in this Administration from Hell.

Since that time he has been trying to keep the Democrat irresponsible economic policies from destroying the stop gap repairs he put in place.
I don't like what he has done but he has not been dealt a particularly good hand by our political leadership.

We are in for 10-12 rough years no matter what is done or not done. Bernanke’s moves so far have temporarily softened the initial blow, but he's walking a high-wire. There will be a payment later in the cycle for his early moves. We will have to see if that payment is worth its’ price later.
We won't know for at least decade how to judge Bernanke. This workout is just getting under way, there will be fits and starts and setbacks. Even if all the right guesses and moves are made (highly unlikely) we are going to experience low-growth for about decade compared to historical norms.
I don't agree with a lot that he has done, but I have to admit it's too early in this game make any judgments. We are still in the first quarter.
