CNBC is speculating that Bush is going on the offensive today by naming Greenspan's replacement in an attempt to divert attention from Rove's pending indictment...
"Presidents, regardless of party, face constant pressures from the Left -- from the Big Brother government, neofascist, high tax, property-confiscating liberals, from the econazis and global warmists, from the pro-abortionists, from those who are pro-one world and anti-American and from those who advocate cradle-to-grave socialism. (Have I left anyone out?) And, unless there are constant counter-pressures from those on the Right who believe in small government, low taxes, America first and individual liberty, presidents, under Left-wing pressure, tend to drift that way." --Lyn Nofziger
Gee, don't you have more important issues to address? You should change your tagline to "stuck-up" genius for two reasons: 1.) That's how you come across and 2.) Your head is stuck up you a**.
Ditto and God help us.
So sick of this crap.
How very cute. Maybe you would quit trying to infiltrate FR and go on back to DU where they really love "Hate Bush" rhetoric.
How is the market reacting?
Prior to bitterness, the President sells all our interests down the river... so what exactly is the risk in embittering him? That he'll make it official and formally switch his party to Democrat, so that he can enact their agenda more openly?
That's comforting.....NOT!
Actually, a highly qualfied academic economist. I thought Harriet Myers might get the nod.
"How is the market reacting?"
I haven't heard, and the descriptions of Bernanke's guiding philosophy are conflicting. Is he an inflation hawk, or an easy money printer? I've read both in this thread alone.
"I am one of those who do not believe that a national debt is a national blessing, but rather a curse to a republic; inasmuch as it is calculated to raise around the administration a moneyed aristocracy dangerous to the liberties of the country."George Dubya Bush is Andy Jackson's worst nightmare come true.-- President Andrew Jackson - (1824)
I notice the Bush-Bashers seem to have a lot more free time than the rest of us...
Must be one of Condi's cronies.
Hate to interrupt but if the agenda you are referring to includes spending money to make liberals like us and nominating your good friends to positions of power, then no, you won't be getting much support.
"...wants to invade Iraq"
Hmmmm. I thought we were already in Iraq. Silly, silly me.
BERNANKE WORKS [Larry Kudlow]
CEA chair and former Fed governor Ben Bernanke is about to be nominated to succeed Alan Greenspan as Chairman of the Federal Reserve Board. In my view it is a good choice. Though Mr. Bernanke is not a hardcore advocate of the price rule, he does favor an inflation target, which is the second best option. Noteworthy is the fact that in recent speeches he has emphasized the slow and steady 2 percent zone of core inflation and inflation less energy. So he is not as militant as some of the crazed Fed presidents. Bernanke does watch financial market indicators such as the inflation-adjusted Treasury bond and the TIPS spread.
Bernanke will also support an extension of Bush’s tax cuts for capital gains and dividends, and he has told me in the past that raising tax rates would only harm the economy. He is widely respected in the economics profession as a former chairman of the Princeton Economics Department. Thank heavens that Fed board member Donald Kohn, who is a demand-sider and a Phillips Curver, did not get the nod. (I'll be tracking this development closely on my blog, Kudlow's Money Politic$)

I agree 100%.
Not a bushbot. The guy is qualified. Has been one of the top 2 candidates for awhile. Read his bio.
Another thread says Dow is up 110 and Nasdaq up 20...second-hand.
