Did Bernanke get TIME's Person of the Year to push him through the confirmation process? |

Seems highly suspicious. And we all know these awards the power elite pass among themselves are complete bullshit.
On edit, I changed "nomination" to "confirmation".

3. Well, he certainly didn't earn it. |

4. You do know that Hitler and Stalin have also been Time's Person of the Year, right? |

that the people are just along for the ride.
They're fumbling along, trying one little adjustment, then another, while the people wait for them to stumble onto something that works completely by accident.
But I read the banks and insurance companies are doing very well.
