GWB choice of Mr. Bernanke was foolishness - He was a terrible choice and the notion that after 17 some odd rate increases he doesn't see reason for pause (to allow those to fully take effect and filter throughout a 13 trillion dollar economy)....shows the man is an ego maniac who basically believes he can mirco-manage the economy virtually by himself (and his fellow board)..
I like and respect GWB immensely - But he clearly dropped the ball hugely on the American working public by appointing this guy -
