WASHINGTON — White House officials and Senate leaders predicted on Sunday that Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke will be confirmed for a second term.

White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said a new four-year term for the central bank head is needed to ensure stability in the financial system. Lawmakers would send a bad message to financial markets by "playing politics in any way" with Bernanke's nomination, Gibbs said.

hey GIBBS, POTUS... pull your heads out of your A$$ES and LISTEN TO THE PEOPLE. sending a "bad message to financial markets" sends an even WORSE message to the AMERICAN PEOPLE (you know, us little folks that actually VOTE?)!!!

right. being "confident" that the EPIC FAIL that is ben bernanke should continue to head the fed is POPULISM OVER CORPORATE INTEREST, EXACTLY HOW, Mr. PRESIDENT?

yet another example of 48-hours of "damage control" being thrown out the window like the baby with the bath water.

HOWARD DEAN 2012?

YES. WE. CAN.

(now THAT would be CHANGE i could BELIEVE.)

note to O: dude, sorry but you're a day late and a dollar short.

In a sharp turnaround, the administration on Thursday announced a new proposal to place limits on the size of banks and prohibitions on their commercial activities. It's an idea that one senior White House official said President Obama began considering "a couple of months ago." But the timing of the rollout, coming one day after what the White acknowledged was a "wake up call" wasn't a coincidence.

The reality of angry voters turning against them, as embodied by the election of Republic Scott Brown to the Senate seat in Massachusetts, is having a profound effect on Democratic leaders. Officials now recognize that the party appears far too aligned with financial industry bailouts and special-interest dealmaking, and that if the electoral bloodletting is to end, more distance is needed from Wall Street.
