“I have reluctantly concluded that any possible confirmation process for me would be acrimonious ...”

” ... and would not serve the interest of the Federal Reserve, the Administration ...”

” ... or, ultimately, the interests of the nation’s ongoing economic recovery.”

Actually his problem is that he’s not hard left enough.

Obama will find someone else who's suitable for the post, never fear.

Is Bernie Madoff sprung yet?

So, does this clear the way for Lefty Yellen?

I just read a short biography of Summers. It doesn’t seem like he’d be on board with a lot of Obama’s whacked-out economic theories. Besides that, there were some things that would make the confirmation process interesting.

Obama has a way of leaving presumptive nominees hanging out there, slowly bleeding to death. Not the first time he’s done it.

Most likely. If she continues QE-infinity, it’s good to hold on to gold & silver.

"Summers Withdraws Name for Fed Chairmanship"

Bad news. The left in the senate have finally succeeded in taking him down.

So meet the next fed chair. Her name is Janet. And she is a commie:

Don’t confirm anyone until IRS answers all questions.
