Wow-What a great acting job-even for politicians. It's great to see all of this "support" behind our "wonderful" fed chairman. Especially from Lawrence Summers who recommended Bernanke because he doesn't want the mess in his lap. My guess is that Rahm Emanuel, Timothy Geithner, and Lawrence Summers (among others) are preparing two sets of plans to deal with the possible outcomes, that Mr. Roubini mentioned, of current financial policy. The first one set to take on stag-deflation and the second one set to battle stagflation. They will wait and see which one comes to fruition, let the blame fall squarely in Bernanke's lap (as it arguably should), and then appoint Mr. Summers to implement the appropriate plan and "save the day" (just as Bernanke claims to have already done). By the way, let us not forget the ugly monster that is about to bust out of the closet and frighten everyone-commercial real estate. When that finally happens--"All the king's horses and all the king's men"...well, you know the rest of the story.
