2. I go with the experts who approve of Bernanke. There is not a major
economist I can think of on either side of the aisle who is unhappy with
Bernanke. It's a good appointment.

Greenspan's tenure has been outstanding, overrated or not.

I saw a bit on TV about a student artist in San Francisco who's
been painting pictures of Greenspan. She did it at first just because
she was fascinated by his facial expressions, but it turned out the
paintings sold like hotcakes, so she kept making more. She did
say she felt it was time for her to move on now.
