Cherman has special knowledge that Time magazine’s staff of researchers and fact checkers couldn’t possibly get close to, let alone match.

Tell us Mr. Cherman, what evidence can you point to that supports your appraisal?

Ah, Times magazine. The unofficial mouthpiece of the Obama Administration.

It’s easy. While Obama berates the bankers for us sheeple, he actually is in bed with them and does their bidding.

This is one of the very best articles I have read in a long time. Worth your time.

Once you’ve read this, you will know why Bernanke is on the cover.

Awake says:

#20 Pedro –

On the contrary, I blame Dumbya and his conservative brethren more than ever.

Bernanke may have been part of the problem, but when things went really bad, he became a leader in the solution.

People that don’t understand the mportance of Bernanke’s actions are also the same shortsighted people that don’t “get” why the Nobel Peace prize went to Obama this year.

Pedro, please bother yourself to read the following article, it is a VERY good opinion piece about Bernanke.

The link above concludes with:

“Still. As Grunwald writes, “It’s no consolation to the 1 in 6 Americans who are underemployed, the 1 in 7 homeowners with a delinquent mortgage or the 1 in 8 families on food stamps, but there would be far more joblessness, foreclosures and hunger were it not for Ben Bernanke.”

I think most economists, whether conservative or liberal, would agree with this assumption. It’s a tough call to make, lauding someone as a hero because of something that didn’t happen, but upon reflection, it doesn’t seem all that crazy.”

Yes Man says:

While I’m no huge fan of Bernanke’s I am in complete agreement with Awake #29 and would add that his is one of most intelligent posts in this group. What is clear is that most of the people who post here don’t know their ass from a hole in ground and don’t seem to have any sense of time. They see a guy in a suit and think “he must be the guy that caused this”. It’s a sad sad situation for America that so many people are either just stupid or are so blinded by their pathetic allegiance to one party or another that they can’t even see straight anymore. You want to know who caused this? Look in the mirror you credit hungry, greedy, real estate tycoon wannabe Americans – you caused it. You also dragged the rest of the world down with you while you greedily went about buying and buying and justifying and rationalizing and feeling entitled.

Ah_Yea says:

Awake #29. If it were anyone else I would have thought your post was a joke. Unfortunately for such an Obamapologist extraordinaire, I’m afraid it’s not.

Now how about some REAL reporting.

“thanks to the release of the Federal Open Market Committee transcripts from 2003. They show (see “Bernanke at the Creation,” June 23, 2009) that Mr. Bernanke was the intellectual architect of the decision to keep monetary policy exceptionally easy for far too long as the economy grew rapidly from 2003-2005.”

So, let me see, Bernanke was the architect of the easy credit that fueled the meltdown? Even when the results were apparent, he didn’t stop??

Awake, get up out of bed and AWAKE!

RBG says:

Maybe they could give Bernanke a Nobel Prize for Economics on the grounds that he is in the position to theoretically potentially change the world for the good of everyone.

Obama could get another Peace Prize for
nominating Bernanke for a second term thus theoretically potentially changing the world for the good of everyone.

#29 Apologies accepted. You’re now the official face cleaner for Dumbya’s officers in Obama’s service.

Ah_Yea says:

I notice that the Obamapoligist here still haven’t commented on my link.

Maybe the truth that their Lord is a sellout is too much to bear??
