“A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.” — Robert A. Heinlein

Yeah, he's a real piece of work, isn't he? It's like coming home to you wife in bed with your best friend, and she starts lecturing you about your wedding vows.
That f*cking criminal and the rest of his gang should be jailed.

Actually, I suspect Bernanke is doing what Supreme Court Justice Souter faced - an end to kowtowing to pressure from the White House.
I suspect that the decades of Fed experience behind Bernanke is surfacing, overcoming instructions from the White House to "play nice". I suspect Justice Souter was just more sensitive when Oh! Bummer!'s people came around to "explain" why he should pay his protection money to the new thug in town.
Bernanke watched these policies fail - hard - during the Carter administration, and has an appreciation for the decade it took Reagan's "fix" to turn things around and recover a livable level of growth and inflation.
"Frank Sinatra's 'people'" have nothing on the organized "reasonable" people in Washington, D.C. today.
