Our good buddy Roberto, a major international investor, e-mails these worth-sharing thoughts about Ben Bernanke and why he should be replaced as Fed Chairman:

Mr. Bernanke deserves to go. . . . His is a sin of a nature and personality that simply does not suit the times we are in.
It is clear that he was not merely “in the room” for the Greenspan debacle of easy money that led directly to the weak dollar, commodity price explosion and multiple bubbles from credit to real estate et al, but rather a key protagonist. Further he has demonstrated a lack of will in standing down the political class.
The Fed is meant to be “independent” and to be the bastion of a strong dollar and the high priest of purity of financial solvency. Mr. Bernanke is not that man. With an economist’s penchant to tinker, he is ill equipped to lead this charge against the inflation that is sure to come and unwind his financial “high-wire” act of testing the limits of the Fed’s balance sheet which he has created. Further he simply does not appear to have the constitution to take on this crowd in “Volcker-style” and restore the greenback to prominence while forcing the Obama-ites into the reduced spending and lower taxation that are the only recipe for future financial stability.
Yes, he needed to take extraordinary measures in September ‘08 if only to cure the impact of his own prior decisions. Now we need a man who is prepared to recognize this and begin to address this madness with clarity and resolve which is certain to be met with mayhem back inside the beltway. Mr. Bernanke is simply not that man.
