    I still will be surprised if Bernanke pulls the trigger on QE3 in the next few months.

    If the Fed Chairman likes his job, he (imo) has to keep Obama in office - because I doubt a Republican President would not give him the boot when it's re-confirmation time.
    And even if he is not worried about that - I find it hard to believe that Obama did not get final say from Bernanke on QE- timelines as payment for 're-newing' the Fed Chairman's tenure last year.

    So, he wants QE3 (or whatever they call it) to have the maximum effect for the election. So I am guessing that means he won't bring it out before spring/early summer...no matter how bad the US economy gets in the interim.
