Boxer to vote against Bernanke

Sen. Barbara Boxer (D-Calif.) has become the latest lawmaker to announce her opposition to Ben Bernanke's second term as Fed chairman.

In a statement released to the Huffington Post, Boxer said that while she respects Bernanke, it is "time for a change."

"Dr. Bernanke played a lead role in crafting the Bush administration's economic policies, which led to the current economic crisis," said Boxer. "Our next Federal Reserve Chairman must represent a clean break from the failed policies of the past."

Boxer's statement comes just hours after another liberal Democrat, Sen. Russ Feingold (D-Wisc.) announced his opposition to Bernanke.

Meanwhile, four senators have placed holds on the Fed chairman's re-nomination. Bernanke has come under heavy criticism for his role in approving bailout dollars.
