"I should have had them pay me in Euros!"
poor ben got stuck with greenfrog's mess
I should have been a rodeo clown!
Don't you love how everyone in this administration makes everything that has gone wrong sound like it happened under the radar without their knowing anything about it. Its always a problem that they opened the door to happen or directly caused or willed to happen and then when it blows up in their and our faces, they act like the calvary coming to the rescue but with a solution that smacks of cronieism and still does not solve the problem for the little guy, often they make the problem worse.
I wonder what his salary at the Fed is. Probably a lot by the standards of mere mortals, but I'm sure it's small potatoes compared to what he could have made on Wall Street.
So why would he work for a measely Fed Chair salary in a high-stress job, rather than work for a hedge fund and make $150 million per year doing jack $h!t?
Answer: He lusts the fame and power more than he lusts the money. I don't feel sorry for him one bit.
"My head hurts. This situation is so messed up"!
It looks like he just soiled himself
"oh crap, my house is underwater too....what to do, what to do???"
Ben's thoughts when the picture was taken:
"Is that ringing phone in my pocket the Chinese calling again about their US dollar exposure? Fuuuuuck. Don't answer just let it go to voicemail again."
-BC
Oh and Keefer he could quit and just take the 'Presidential Package' (incidentally, not the same as the one of GWB on the Carrier stating Mission Accomplished, thank God)
-BC
It appears he should try a bran muffin for that constipation.
Maybe with a Midol chaser and a new Tampon will help.
He can get an extra Tampon from George W. Bush, Decider-in-Chief.
America is DEAD
Tangelo--
He's an lifelong academic, not a wall street titan. Still, he's definitely accumulated some nice coin--and makes a bit less than $200K. Just google "bernanke salary" and look at "bernanke plays it safe" and "what does bernanke make?" entries...

So what do you have to say or pray now ? Good old faithful Americano citizens, occupants of the Land of the Snapper Turtle...
The Americano Housing Bubble has revealed the true anatomy of the Americano Australopithecus species. And what that anatomy amounts to is a heap of putrid, rotten to the core, maggot filled, rat chewing pile of garbage.
Greed, Ignorance, Irresponsibility, Laziness, Materialistic-Craze, Hoity-Toity attitudes are all part of the Americano rotted anatomy, stinky gut.
How a fat-ass, obese, beer-gut, rotten teeth, putrid breath, dumb-ass Americano male driving by himself a Ford Expedition on the road, consuming 15-18 miles per gallon of gasoline is just beyond the realm of reasoning.
How a whole family of cracker-nuthead, GrandPa and GrandMa, Joe6Pack and JaneZinfandel, 6 of the spoiled-brat runny nose snotty kids swarming the Walmart aisle after aisle piling junks on the shopping cart is pure hilarious and pitiful at the same time.
How a whole family of Hicks and HillBilly chomping down on oily, greasy McDonal french fries and Wendy’s hamburger is just so resembling the scene of the bunch of hogs roosting and wallowing at the feed trough.
The Americano nation is pathetic and sinful beyond the point of redemption !

----------------------------
Granted. But that's really my point: if Bernanke's connectionas and academic credentials had enough clout to earn him the spot of Fed Chairman, they certainly could have gotten him a sweet position with a hedge fund or investment bank.
Thanks for the salary information, by the way. That's a bit less than what I thought he would be making. (I'd still trade salaries with him, though.)
"And what that anatomy amounts to is a heap of putrid, rotten to the core, maggot filled, rat chewing pile of garbage."
Andrew Hac: Your GOOD, man.
-Poetry, no less.
America is DEAD
I have no doubt that Bernanke's "salary" far exceeds the $200K reported. Under the table perks from wall street and bankers probably are making Ben a very rich man. And don't forget the lecture circuit he'll be going on as an ex-chair. How much does Greencreep get per speech now? I disremember.
30 seconds in the mind of Bernanke:
uuughh!! What the hell am I doing here??!! They won't stop asking questions...
Lower... Lower... But how much?
100 bips?? Too much - they might panic...
25 bips?? No, too low. I need a B-52 bomber right now not a helicopter!!
What would Greenspan do?!
What would Greenspan DOOOOO?!!!
Channeling Greenspan... Can you hear me oh wise bubblemeister Greenspan? ?
... Yes... I understand... Thank you master... Oh praise thee blessed holy Greenspan...
75 bips it is bitches.
Man, I need a Vicodin
Just keep buying our crap from China and everything will be fine. The new Great Walmart of China. We export and you import and shop like bitches...
I love to see a grown man cry.
Hey Andrew Hac, GFY you piece of Eurotrash. You will soon be getting ass raped on the street corner for spare change. Enjoy!
"Oh sh!t, that f*ckin bookworm Ron Paul is here to grill my ass like a snapper turtle again. F*********ck!!"
Dear Andrew Hac, you are a perfect example of Americano Australopithecus. Thanks! I couldn't describe you better than you did. I hope that in the future you'll learn how to use you brains, provided that you have any. Try to open and run your own business in this country, attract the talent and let them grow. Apparently, you are stuck at the bottom of this country which with all the sins runs second to China in business opportunities. Good luck, you lazy, stupid f#ck.
"Duh! I'm such an idiot!
I should have rented!"
DAMN IT!! I forgot to Tivo Deal or No Deal last night! Aargh!
"Sh!t!!! There goes my 401k... That's the last F*CKING time I take stock tips from Jim Cramer. 'Don't move your money from Bear Stearns' MY ASS!! Booya yourself you son of a bitch!"

Glad your back Andrew. We thought you had forsaken us. I have tried to tell them you are not a Chinaman but how a whole call center of cracker-nuthead, spoiled-brat runny nose snotty kids swarming the aisles with their "Janet Jackson" headsets is pure hilarious and pitiful at the same time.
