Bernanke reappointed as US Fed chief
WASHINGTON, January 29 (Itar-Tass) -- The U.S. Senate reappointed Ben
Bernanke for a second term as chairman of the U.S. Federal Reserve.
The Senate voted 70-30 on Thursday to reappoint Bernanke, whose
current term expires on Sunday.
The Associated Press said the vote came "amid roiling public anger
over the economy and stubbornly high unemployment that fueled a populist
backlash against Bernanke", adding no Fed chairman has been rejected in
the Senate.
