The Senate sent the nomination of Peter Diamond, one of President Barack Obama’s three nominees for the Federal Reserve Board, back to the White House because of objections from at least one lawmaker. ...While Diamond, 70, may still win confirmation, it’s a snag for the Massachusetts Institute of Technology economics professor who once taught Fed Chairman Ben S. Bernanke. Alabama Senator Richard Shelby, the senior Republican on the Banking Committee, said last week that Diamond, while a “skilled economist,” may not be qualified to make decisions on monetary policy.

I wonder whatever happened to this Peter Diamond guy who wasn't qualified enough to be a Fed member?
