Posted By:Bob Pisani
Topics:Federal Reserve | Congress | Ben Bernanke | Investment Strategy | Stock Market
Uh, no, you must mean the other bald guy who's always around: desk traders on the Street are cracking up over this faux-pas by Congresswoman Marcy Kaptur during an exchange with Fed Chairman Ben Bernanke:
Marcy Kaptur, D Ohio :Seeing how you were the former CEO of Goldman Sachs ….
Bernanke: No.. no..no..You are confusing me with the Treasury Secretary!
Kaptur: I got the wrong firm? Oh, uh, where were you sir?
Bernanke: I was the CEO of the Princeton economics department.
Kaptur: Oh, I'm sorry, I got you confused with the other one. I'm sorry. I'm glad you clarified that for the record.
