Fed officials and Mr. Obama want to take credit for easy money if stock-market and housing prices rise, but then deny any responsibility if commodity prices rise too, causing food and energy prices to soar for consumers.

This is the double-edged sword of an economic recovery “built to last” on easy money rather than on sound fiscal and regulatory policies.
