Big Ben seems like a natural for doing this... Maybe he can start selling Oxyclean now that it appears that a spot has been opened recently....

This cartoon lined up next to his pic in the Uncommon Wisdom ad is excellent design.

While I'm just sitting here in cash waiting for the FED to run out of TARP ammo, I couldn;t help myself. I started doodling how I would draw Ben Bernanke and that perfect academic beard of his. Tim Geithner next?

Geithner should be easy to draw.  He has no eyebrows.

Keep doodling, you got some skills.

The TARP 'cash' balance is over $300billion the Treasury guy said a few weeks ago at hearing.  The Treasury also has the $500billion FDIC 'line of credit' and the $600 IMF 'line of credit.

 

I would't be holding my breath about bailouts ending anytime soon.

The payment choices of credit or credit is priceless, pun intended.

More like DXY35 with instand step down devaluation. Overnight everything prices at double, those troublesome fixed interest rate loans halve, wages may slip but will still automatically bolster wage-earners ability to service debt. US debt becomes more easily repaid, stock market doubles, savers and liquid wealth possessors are arbitrarily stolen from.
What's not to love? Once every other generation, central bankers conspire to raid the honey store of their favourite honey bee, the global wage slave.

Why is everyone so sure that President Obama would liek to replace Bernanke with Summuers. What has Bernanke not done that Summers will? And what powers does Summers have to get Bernanke kicked out, assuming no market collapse? All of the talk on this board nad elsewhere sounds like Obama is just looking for an excuse to get rid of Bernanke. Why? What am I missing?

Do the words "subprime is contained" ring a bell?

I'm placing a bet against Summers. As has been said of Dick Armey, even his frineds don't like him.  Summers is a prick and nobody likes him. He is even less likeable on TeeVee. He's a walking PR suicide bomber. For all those reasons I don't think Larry gets the job.

 

Bernanke is a political liability. Too much bad water under the bridge.

Does anyone really think that Larry Summers will do a better job though? Won't Summers end up being far worse?

STFU.

Ben,

If you get all clingy and shit, he will dump you. Play it cool. Act like you don't care. Tell yourself, "If he wants that bitch Summers then he can have him." If he wants Summers, Obama isn't good enough for you to stay with.
