The government doesn't control the private corp Fed Reserve! The Fed reserve owns the government. This story is a ridiculous story.

Before he stated that Ben was doing a good job. More flip-flopping I guess

I hope you guys know that right now Romney says not ot QE3 and all of Bernankes monetary policy. But if he gets into the White House, he will ask the Chairman of the Fed to do QE3 and all of those monetary policy he once was against. Republicans right now halt all monetary and fiscal policies so that Obama can suffer and lose the election.

This clown is suggesting a list of big University 'experts' who will be just as bad as Bernanke, and is warning that stopping the dissasterous policies the Fed currently has will be a bad thing. What a joke.

You don't have to be a genius to fix the US.

Just stop the money printing, redregulate the economy, dregulate healthcare, curb the unions, open up the keystone pipeline, issue more permits for drilling oil, cut Government spending and cut taxes.

In less than a year you'll see a turnaround.

For everyone who has commented here, what have you personally done to try to change any of this? I'm just curious because I'm new to the movement and I want to act not just redundantly repeat how horrible the FED is. I think we all know this. What can be done?

I saw that too, what does Romney think, that he can just make it up as he goes along?

No President appoints a FED Chairman! He announces to head the FED whom they tell him to announce!

The criminal, unaccountable, unrepentant Federal Reserve Bank MUST be shut down!

Love-lay - Lord Rothschild owns the Federal Reserve Bank and Reuters....which explains the BRAINWASH here.

"Does Ben Bernanke have a job in your administration?" NONSENSICAL question because the FED is a private criminal organization - not remotely part of any administration.

ALSO - the FED chairman is chosen by the criminal BANKSTERS - NOT THE PRESIDENT! The media releases a candidate list complied by the FED owners - and the President announces the choice as if it was his own.
