Roger Lowenstein's Bernanke-as-hero cover story is revisionist history. In reality, the Fed chief has much to answer for in his handling of financial crisis and the economy.
The Federal Reserve chief has recklessly bailed out our financial system -- we shouldn't wait the 10 years before his term expires to toss him overboard.
Our financial rulers were so intoxicated with the fumes of their own omnipotence that they failed abjectly as regulators, as public servants and, most certainly, as gods.
Bernanke's defeat would be a repudiation of President Obama's close alliance with Wall Street -- but it would be extremely salutary for him and for the public.
