my sources tell me that we are going to see Bernanke offer to retain his post, if the one year delay tactic for sequestration and bush tax cuts has finality in the language.

Somebody has to offer to be a grown up, and it aint 'bammer, ryan, pelosi, geithner, greenspan, clintoon, etc.

In this case, it would be bernanke offering to forget about a few couple trillion absorbed into his (the FEDs) balance sheet if fiscal policy had actual time limits.
