Timmeh, Larry, And Ben

There is growing Senate opposition to Bernanke, with even Reid being noncommital about support. I don't think it's the case, as Andrea Mitchell said earlier, that Bernanke is a "scapegoat," but Senate sources (sometimes I have them!) do tell me that growing opposition does reflect growing discontent with the Obama economic team generally.

Unemployment is at 10%. The foreclosure crisis is ongoing. There should be discontent.
