Obama team denies report Summers is Fed pick [9/13]
http://www.usatoday.com/story/money/business/2013/09/13/summers-yellen-federal-reserve/2808511/

In race for Fed chair, Larry Summers reaches out to Elizabeth Warren
http://www.washingtonpost.com/business/economy/in-race-for-fed-chair-larry-summers-reaches-out-to-elizabeth-warren/2013/09/13/40a776ea-1cb0-11e3-82ef-a059e54c49d0_story.html

[snip] Warren has been a vocal critic of Summers’ effort to deregulate the financial sector when he was Treasury secretary under President Bill Clinton. As a member of the committee that will vote first on the White House’s pick for Fed chairman, she could be a roadblock in advancing a possible Summers nomination. [/snip]

Summers would have been our BEST choice since someone was gonna get it. What we will get will be much much worse.

Unfortunately, you are spot on Leni. Obummer’s initial picks are always the Devils that we know where as the subsequent ones are always the Devils in disguise.
6 of one or a half dozen of the other.

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

How about John Corzine? He makes things disappear with ease.
Our debt could be wiped clean on paper anyway. Like all the others close to Obama he wouldn't be accountable and there would be no acrimonious behavior within the executive branch.

She appears trim in your photo, but she has an inflationary bias.

Why would any Republicrat want that job? The only economically sound way to unwind Bernanke’s mess is to plunge us into recession and get blamed for it - and that takes courage.

Or if they can continue the money-printing, and when interest rates keep going up, the Fed will be insolvent, and it only gets worse from there.

Or he knew about the letter and wanted a ‘dove’ and not a ‘hawk’ on inflation. Yellen is a hardcore lefty and they love her. We’ll get the worst out of her.

So, does this clear the way for Lefty Yellen?

More like Bolshy Yellen. But yes she's definitely in.

Obama wanted Summers worse than he wanted Assad. But he peed down his leg and ran for cover on this one too.
