DescriptionIn a split with a top economic adviser, Mitt Romney said today he would not re-appoint Ben Bernanke to another term as chairman of the Federal Reserve.

"I would like to select ... a new person to that chairman position, someone who shared my economic views, someone that I thought was sympathetic to the needs of our nation," Romney told Fox Business Network.

Bernanke's second term expires January 2014. He was first appointed to the post by President George W. Bush and then re-appointed by President Obama.
