I'd vote for President Bloomberg. Seriously.

So Bloomberg's response is "we emphasized sensational stuff because that makes better headlines, sometimes making numbers up, but don't worry we footnoted some of the facts that would have rebutted our sensationalist headlines, so stop whining."

He's crazy anti-gun. If he could promise not to do anything stupid wrt gun policy I'd be on board.

So the Fed's response is to say that since they didn't provide accurate and complete information, the reporting must also be inaccurate and incomplete. Neat trick.

I like how the responses are framed with the Fed's own released reports as references.

Say what you want about Bernanke, but one thing is indisputable - that man has awesome facial hair.

Oh good god. Why is there an ad on this site saying "Prophetic Economist Issues Warning". Economists aren't prophets. They do the OPPOSITE. They're like reverse weathermen. "It sure is raining right now, and it was raining yesterday, so there will probably be rain tomorrow, if we assume a cloud".

Also, I'm all for central banking, but fark Ben Bernanke in the ass with no lube. If anyone need to be tarred and feathered, it's him.
But I'm not a teabagger. I don't say "If it's broke, throw it out." I say, "If it's broke, fix it." THAT's the difference between teabaggers and OWS.

Looks like Goldman Sachs and JP Morgan are about to throw Bernanke to the wolves.

What a joke that he'll probably be the lone sacrificial lamb for the 2007-present financial meltdown.

Because one of the higher-ups in Newsmax apparently has a book to sell, so they've been blanketing every financial reporting site with these ads. They're hosting something called an Aftershock Survival Summit, which appears to be nothing more than a lengthy sales pitch for their book, with a healthy dose of Obama bashing.
