After months of speculation, it's official: Janet Yellen will be the next chair of the Federal Reserve, succeeding Ben Bernanke, the White House said late Tuesday.

President Obama will make the announcement on Wednesday at 3pm ET, the White House said. Both Janet Yellen and current Fed chair Ben Bernanke are expected to attend. That announcement will be right after the Fed releases the minutes from its last meeting, due out at 2pm ET.

I thought Geithner really wanted this job after Ben retired.

Is his gig at CFR too lucrative to give up?

Yep, not only is she Jewish, she is also a self loathing liberal Jew. The worst type.

Nominated.
Of course she can’t be confirmed until Harry Reid’s barricade of the House minibills is over.

And her faith has to do with what in regards to the nomination to be Fed Chair?

Do her policies stem from her religious beliefs or her political leanings?

It’s not the faith, it’s the ethnic neuroticism. If she had a faith, she would.nt be so scary. The worst enemy Israel can have is yet another self-loathing and politically powerful American Jew.
