    Should Bernanke Stay or Go?

    This morning's roundtable on Bernanke was one of my favorite roundtable discussions. The guests were great. They didn't agree -- which comes with the territory -- but all had terrific points.

    The roundtable debated if Bernanke's town hall appearance and other public appearances are examples of a man campaigning to be reappointed as Fed Chairman in 2010 or the Fed Chairman's committment to greater Fed transparency. Each of the guests had very different approaches. I thoroughly enjoyed it! I think you will, too.

    Take a look at the discussion between Tucker Carlson, Fox News contributor, Angela McGlowan, Fox News contributor and CEO of Political Strategies & Insights and Mark Gertler, NYU Economics professor, friend of Bernanke and co-author of a research study with Bernanke.

Bernanke and the Fed both need to go, bring on HR 1207!

While I am inclined to favor Bernanke's retention, the question I have for you, Alexis, is why invite such shallow guests to share their "insights"? My 5-year-old Pomeranian has about as much substantive knowledge of Fed history and practice as Carlson and MacGlowan possess. (By the way, your "concern" [starting at 3:15] is one of the more yammering utterances you've inflicted on your audience.)

He didn't cause this crisis. I do beleive he's done everying possible to stem this meltdown.

I support Bernanke. I trust him. I think he is the type of person who would do what it best for our country and not be a yes man for Obama and the Chicago thugs. God forbid if Larry Summers is appointed to this job. The markets will tank and there will be no gatekeeper to keep the current administration in check. They are going to bankrupt this country.

I say let him stay, seems to be doing a fine job.

Bernanke needs to go.. as does the entire Federal Reserve system. They have way too much power over our dollar and our money. Alexis, love watching your shows, you do a great job presenting both sides of things. One guest I'd like to see you have on is Karl Denninger. He's always got the math and the facts to dispute what guys like Bernanke and others keep spewing to the uninformed public.

Bernanke must go. His (and Paulson's) utter disregard for the shareholders of BAC's fundamental right to know what they were buying is proof of his bias against private ownership. Further, he and Geithner are too close in thinking and actions. We need someone else. Bernanke is on a course to revisit the "misery index" of the Carter years. Hyper-inflation is the coming direct result of Bernanke's and Geithner's actions.
