How will Senators Bennet and Udall Vote on the Confirmation of Ben Bernanke

  • 5 Comments
  • by: Sharon Hanson

My guess is that both will vote in favor of confirming Obama’s choice.  For starters Udall isn’t up for reelection until 2014 and he has some political cover in that Harry Reid is going to vote to confirm him.

As for Bennet I also think he will vote to confirm Ben Bernanke. A no vote would certainly send the right message that he is fed up with Wall Street running our country and it would give those who claim he is in the pockets of special interests less of an argument.  But the truth is Michael Bennet is in the pocket of special interests and a vote against Ben Bernanke would put him at odds with his campaign contributors. Ben Bernanke was instrumental in helping the banks bring us to the brink of disaster so both Bennet and Udall would have cover if they grew some and voted against the confirmation of Ben Bernanke.

What do you think they will vote on the confirmation of Ben Bernanke and how do you think they should vote?  

Here are the numbers to call if you would like our Senators to fire Ben Bernanke.

Mark Udall

Denver 303-650-7820

Springs 719-471-3993

Greeley 970-356-5586

DC 202-224-5941

Michael Bennet

Denver (303) 455-7600

Springs  (719) 328-1100

Ft. Collins/Greeley (970) 224-2200

DC  (202) 224-5852

Should Ben Bernanke be fired?

  1. A no vote would certainly send the right message that he is fed up with Wall Street running our country and it would give those who claim he is in the pockets of special interests less of an argument.

    I don’t think Senator Bennet could do anything that would stifle this shrill and unsupported argument. It’s encouraging to hear you suggest otherwise, but I gotta be convinced of your persuadability.

    Senator Bennet has consistently said we need to create a new set of rules of the road on Wall Street and ensure we’re never again put in the position of bailing out banks that are “too big to fail.”

    Which is why he strongly supports creation of a Consumer Financial Protection Agency that will act as an independent regulator of the Wall Street and the big banks to keep them in line, protect folks who follow the rules, and stop this from happening again. Yes – this is in direct opposition to the big banks  and other financial players and special interests.

    And it’s also why he’s been and is a strong supporter of meaningful financial reforms, why he cast the deciding vote for the Credit Card-Holders Bill of Rights, supporting caps on the abusively high interest rates credit card companies have been charging.  Also in direct opposition to the banking lobby.

    1. He will never earn my trust because he has already revealed his political loyalties in the form of his no vote on the cram-down legislation, his pounding chest statement on banking reform and how we need a Wall Street friendly bi-partisan bill or he won’t vote for it and the millions he has accumulated in political contributions from the very people he seeks to regulate. And I know he will not win against Norton if he wins the primary.
