He's sort of an institution, kind of Merlin-like, very mysterious. Usually, I don't really understand what he says until someone interprets it.

Generally, I am under the impression that he's doing a good job, done a good job, but I am not an economist. As for personal opinion, I would say depends on whom you ask. If you did well while he was around, you probably like him. If you've been laid of dozens of times or whatever can be attributed to him, you probably don't think he did a good job. Kind of like your Rep vs Dems comparison.

It's hard to quantify what he did for me: His raising of interest rates increased my student loans. Since I haven't bought a house yet, I did not benefit from when he lowered interest rates. I don't freak out too much cause I figure it all rolls around eventually.
