Ben Bernanke is an expert on the depression years, will you really try to instill more fear into people without reporting all the good news? Dr Bernanke, chairman of the Federal Reserve is a published author, in 1983 "Nonmonetary effects of the financial crisis in the propagation of the Great Depression" and 2005 "Essays on the Great Depression". He is an expert on the depression and the mistakes made before, during, and after. Obama may not have the answers or be the expert, but he is surrounded by many learned men who have knowledge and information to help him make the best decisions on our economy and all the other messes this prior administration has left us with. Let's not forget, this was the Republican administration, the same one's who claimed they knew what was best for us that have left us in this mess.
