msnbc.msn.com— At the 13:50 mark, Obama answered a question about Fed policy, "...I don't think it's good policy for a President or President-Elect to second-guess Fed policy, which is an independent body."

Yep. He will do things that are popular when he can, but when they go against the political winds he will squirm out of it just like he did with FISA. He's a politician, and like most politicians, he is opportunistic.
He is. Why do you think he is trying to talk his way out of doing anything against the political pressures favoring continued monetarist policies? Don't confuse intelligence with virtue. Plenty of the neocon f**ks were intelligent. Rove is a genius, but it doesn't mean he will do the right thing.
The Fed just came out with a study, and the study found that the Fed was completely not at fault in the banking crisis! This clearly exonerates them from blame, and confirms that Zimbabwe Ben knows exactly what he's doing. Obama is right. We should trust them completely.
