Here is a CNBC video clip from last night’s Kudlow Report where I defend Ben Bernanke and argue that he should be confirmed for reappointment as Chairman.

The market is headed toward recovery, but we're not there quite yet. This was my response to CNBC's Dennis Kneale last Friday when asked, "Is the Recession Over?" The market is healing but it's not healed yet.

In my guest appearance on CNBC's "The Call" program Tuesday morning, the topics were "Should the Fed Stick to Monetary Policy?" and "Is the Economy Back on Track?" On the economy, I made the same point about excess reserves and the Fed's mistake regarding excess reserves in the 1930s that I made in my June 10 posting.

On Tues. I appeared on The Kudlow Report to discuss the prospect of long term inflation. I made the remark that monetary policy is not that easy, and the Fed's main concern should be preventing deflation. I also noted that a weak dollar in the short term could help with economic recovery.

On the May 20 Kudlow Report, I also discussed whether the SEC failed to reform mark to market.

Yesterday I was on CNBC's Closing Bell with Brian Wesbury to discuss the Treasury's new plan to form public-private partnerships to buy toxic assets from financial institutions. We agreed that reforming mark to market would be just as effective.  See the video clip here: [Bob Mcteer on Mark to Market]
