New Federal Reserve Chairman
"President Bush yesterday named Ben Bernanke, White House economic adviser and a respected former central banker and Princeton professor, to succeed Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Federal Reserve."
http://www.washtimes.com/business/20...1938-4764r.htm

Greenspan will be a tough act to follow, but this Bernanke seems pretty good.
I really like this quote from him:

"If I am confirmed by the Senate, I will do everything in my power ... to help assure the continued prosperity and stability of the American economy."

Really?! No duh!

From that page: Mr. Greenspan lauded Mr. Bernanke's "superb academic credentials and important insights into the ways our economy functions."

That's good enough for me.

I would hope that's good enough for just about everybody.
