					<description><![CDATA[I believe that all of the people Obama is considering are deeply Keynesian in their outlook, which means they all will continue with QE.  One or more may try to ease off, but they can&#039;t see their way out of the corner they&#039;ve painted. If they ease off on QE interest rates will go up now and the political backlash will quickly have them turning back to QE.  However, if they continue with QE the bubbles  - see equity indexes of late - will continue their rise until they collapse, and then we&#039;ll get interest rates up anyway.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m not sure what it&#039;s worth, but the rumors I&#039;ve read also repeat the reports that Obama is very angry with those who&#039;ve sabotaged Summers and promoted Yellen.

They&#039;ve also noted that Obama is more than sufficiently petulant to reject Yellen out of spite.  Country be damned.  Their best guess for the new Fed chair is Roger W. Ferguson Jr., who&#039;s generally well regarded, a neo-Keynesian, and most importantly -- he&#039;s African-American.

With Obama, always bet on narcissism and identity politics.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[blert says it well.
Although my heart softens a wee bit for Summers with the feminista head butting at Haavaad, which he lost, to my surprise and disappointment.

I know folks here Down South who tell their kids they may not attend Haavaad even on a full scholarship. I&#039;m with them. Vanderbilt, where my two younger went, is bad enough, but nothing like Haavaad.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I used to like Summers when he was president of Harvard.  However, Harry Lewis, former dean of students and all around mensch, has made a strong case in a series of blog posts at &quot;Bits and Pieces&quot; that Summers was a disaster.  Particularly troubling was his role covering up the Harvard-Russia Andrei Schlieffer insider trading scandal.

Thank goodness he was passed over for the Fed.  Given his temperament, he had the potential to do as much damage to the world as Robert McNamara.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[You missed it: the Fed is a collegial &#039;round table.&#039; 

Arrogant intellectual dictators are loathed. The various members of &#039;the peerage&#039; have fantastic clout back home -- as in direct access to their Senators and Representatives.

THAT&#039;S where the &#039;kick&#039; came from.

These power brokers made it clear that under no uncertain terms, Summers was a man that could never be suffered. He&#039;d give the regional bankers the &#039;high hat&#039; and that would be that.

Summers only worships his own math. It&#039;s understandable. He really is a genius. Unfortunately he still credits theories as true that are not true.

This was the source of his Harvard investment acumen. These days the math wizard is the laughing stock of Wall Street, which is a mill stone around his street cred.

Yes, Wall Street rejected him, too.

Wall Street hearts Yellen -- big time. She&#039;s punched all of the right tickets on her way from the inside.

Barry is hoping to find a raving money-printing fool that he can slip past Congress. Someone who, against all logic, does not disdain Barry&#039;s arithmetic. (He can&#039;t do long division -- nor, apparently, sums.)

Anything beyond the number 1 is too much for Barry. He has so much invested in number one that he&#039;s always looking out for number one.]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA[I was surprised at Obama&#039;s choosing Summers, too, N-Neocon. I&#039;ve liked the guy since he pissed off the usual hordes as prez of Harvard. Very unusual in an Ivy League top guy.

Artyd: &quot;...nothing is better than pudendas on parade..&quot;  Okay, Kid, ya FINALLY got me!! ROTFLMAO..!!]]></description>
