It appears that the Fed is just in the business of managing perception. As weird as it sounds they want to get the checkmark for saying they raised the rate (e.g. 25 basis points) while at the same time sending a clear message that any other move upward will be a very slow process. I'm not sure you can have it both ways forever.
