When it comes to our economic recovery, did you know that our government still has perhaps the most important decision yet to make? And it has to be made within the next six months ... and that decision is all up to Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke. The guy who may single-handedly be responsible for sinking the US dollar. Yep. That guy. He will need to decide when to pull out $1 trillion from our US banking system that is currently keeping it a float.
As The Politico points out, this is a very difficult decision. And Barack Obama may have a different idea of what he would like to see Ben Bernanke do. Bernanke, though, is supposed to be an apolitical figure. He isn't supposed to care about the politics of the matter, or popularity or getting re-elected; he is supposed to make the unpopular decisions. Good thing for Barack Obama - we are coming to find that he is incapable of making decisions.
