    This is a trick question, right? The fed just "arbitrarily" picked a date in 2013 to hold the interest rates at zero. Ok, now that I'm through laughing, I can honestly say that Bernanke has been in Obama's pocket for over two years now. Nothing has changed with him.

    Sounds like he has the fed in his pocket, don't know if it will be enough. We'll have to see how the stock market reacts, so far its been positive.
