No doubt about it Bernanke has surrounded himself with teachers who, with words that are agreeable to him, "tickle his ears."

"Mr. Bernanke is standing in front of Noah's Ark as it is starting to rain and saying, "I don't really understand water."

Your commentary re Bernanke is hilarious. Really, it makes no difference whether he understands it or not the result will be the same.
