"I don't see how you could do better. Yeah. He has taken decisive action at a time when really decisive action was needed, and extraordinary action, things that we hadn't done before.

But they got us through a period that, if we had different people in those jobs, I'm not so sure we would have gotten through."
Just watch what happens next...and lets see if Bernake and company caused it, made it worse, or softened the effect...I suspect it will be highly clear that a guy who thinks publicly he prevented the great depression II exactly at the start of the next leg down is not going to be viewed with any credibility. What has Mr, Buffett been smoking...i thought they did not allow that stuff in Omaha.
