Fed sees more risk to the downside BUT doesn't realize that there's enough decoupling already in the system so that commodity prices etc will continue to rise. Add to that further upward pressures due to biofuel and core cpi will rise no matter how deep a recession we're in.

At least Bernanke was clear about what they believed - even if they're wrong.
