If I had to venture a guess it would be Bernanke cut rates to avoid stagflation. Oil prices are out of control and driving up the price of everything. The Fed can't stop that kind of inflationary pressure with interest rates as well as it can drive economic growth by cutting rates. Simply put, it was an attempt to keep the economy humming to ignore a potential inflationary mess.
