Oh no, not Summers, please! Helen Borg Jul 2013 #1

Yes. And the Harvard connection is strong (BO & Summers). DURHAM D Jul 2013 #2

So you're siding with Wall Street Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #5

Well, the forty particular economists, traders and strategists surveyed, maybe. Orsino Jul 2013 #22

The only people who want Summers are Summers and Obama. dkf Jul 2013 #3

I don't understand your "DU sides with Wall Street" line. Marr Jul 2013 #7

The OP seems prone to such petulant outbursts cthulu2016 Jul 2013 #8

Awwwww Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #10

It's "You hate Obama" Aerows Jul 2013 #23

I see a lot of venom here directed toward Summers, but not toward Yellen Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #12

The idea of Summers as chairman of the Fed Aerows Jul 2013 #16

Summers is not incompetent or reckless. JackRiddler Jul 2013 #21

Do you want Summers, or is this just another nihilistic exercise in division? cthulu2016 Jul 2013 #28

It's just so predictable at this point. n/t Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #13

I nominate Krugman. JaneyVee Jul 2013 #14

Not a bad idea Cali_Democrat Jul 2013 #20
