Such is the fruit of the digital revolution: YouTube videos featuring small furry animals explaining quantitative easing, and mocking Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke.
Charlie Gasparino thinks Ben is unjustly being made the fall guy, and that anger over the stalled economy should be directed at Barack Obama:
To be sure, QE-2 will probably work as well as QE-1, which means it probably won't do much to spark an incredibly weak economy staggering under the weight of 9.5 percent unemployment. But that doesn't mean Bernanke deserves all the crap he's getting. He doesn't because attacking Bernanke obscures some of the big problems facing the American economy as we conclude the second year of President Obama's hope and change agenda that clearly isn't working.
Charlie's thoughts on the matter are worth a read.
