Obama Reappoints Bernanke Before Playing the Back Nine
It's tough being off of the evening news for a week, so it was either reappoint Bernanke or bomb Libya.
Since bombing Libya calls for a necktie, President Obama threw a blazer over his golf shirt and reappointed Ben Bernanke to another term running the Federal Reserve. We get it, Mr. President, you're on a working vacation. That's some weak-ass showmanship. You're like that guy in our office who sends out emails whenever he works late - just so everybody knows he worked late.
Bernanke's current term doesn't even expire until FEBRUARY 1, 2010.
In the Obama White House, style is not only beating substance, it's pitching a shutout.
