@"The troubling side of Ben Bernanke"
Surprisingly the NY Times also took a very cautious approach to the Bernanke reappointment:
â–º As chairman of the Fed since 2006, Mr. Bernanke also helped foment the crisis he is now charged with managing.
â–º Nor is there any assurance that the continuing rescues will result in a stable, prosperous economy.
