Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke gave a speech yesterday (Tuesday, June 7) to the International Monetary Conference in Atlanta, GA. Only one speech. Yet looking around the Toobz at the various headlines at news sites on this speech, it must have been an all things to all people speech as I've found at least four different perspectives presented, some of them directly contradictory.
The most prevalent theme appears to be The Benbernank as cheerleader (links embedded in titles):
McClatchy: Jobs report aside, Bernanke sees rosier second half of 2011Then there are the deficit hawk headline writers:
LA Times: Bernanke predicts stronger recovery in second half of year
AP via MSNBC: Bernanke sees stronger growth later in the year
