Did Bernarke have a significant role in the Lehman Bankruptcy?

No, please do. US bailout already took up too much time - the nations who offered larger and swifter bailouts were the ones who did better. Yeah, the bailout had loads of flaws, but it had to be fast and big. And it largely succeeded in that. If they waited longer, a better written bailout would have been useless anyway. Add the highly partisan (as opposed to logical/merit-based) voting to the situation, and you have the reason for the inefficiencies.

Heh, AP, I argued the same thing last fall days after the **** really started hitting the fan.
