The Fed's Best Man
That isn't saying much

Saying Ben's the Fed's best man
    isn't saying much.
Just like Timmy Geithner
    he's merely Wall Street's crutch.

Obviously Ben's not yet
    begun to comprehend
That regulating banks requires
    a little more than just pretend.

Nonchalance has failed to cut it;
    Ben can't stay above the fray.
Why would anyone believe
    anything he has to say?

Why defend the status quo
    and claim to favor laissez-faire?
Have they snookered Ben Bernanke
    and promised he'll be Wall Street's mayor?

For if there ever is a mayor,
    it's a role that's spoken for
By Obama's Timmy Geithner,
    another Wall Street guarantor.
