Background

Prominent people in Washington and on Wall Street say President Barack Obama is starting to focus on what may be the most important appointment of his second term: the next chairman of the Federal Reserve.

Ben Bernanke's term expires in January and he has told associates that the eight challenging years he will have served would be enough. Some people close to the president say his top personal choice to succeed Bernanke would be former Treasury Secretary Tim Geithner. They established a close bond over four years.

Presumably the question will be settled when the nominee is confirmed, right?

   Super Userkruijs predicted Janet Yellen

President Barack Obama Wednesday nominated Janet Yellen, currently the number two at the Federal Reserve, to succeed Ben Bernanke as chairman of the U.S. central bank.

In a brief statement flanked by Yellen and Bernanke, Obama urged the Senate to act swiftly to confirm her “given the urgent economic challenges facing our nation.”

Former US Treasury Secretary Larry Summers has withdrawn his candidacy to succeed Ben Bernanke as head of the US central bank, the Federal Reserve.
