    He wasn’t chair under Obama. Bernanke was. He was appointed by Bush and he was succeeded by Janet Yellen who Obama actually appointed.

      …and the president doesnt set the chair, the point is republicans or neolibs are the ones who have chosen every person in the fed, they (the fed) have always had one goal and isnt “keeping inflation in-check” or “watching the health of job market”, those two things aren’t even remotely connected so ask yourself why/when that dual mandate came down and for what purpose it serves.
