It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.
“Gov. Perry’s comments about Chairman Bernanke are inappropriate and unpresidential,” Tony Fratto declared tonight in a tweet.
Fratto, a former Treasury Department and White House official in George W. Bush’s administration, Managing Partner Hamilton Place Strategies and founder of RooseveltRoom.net, a web site for Bush alumni.
Perry was speaking at a stop during the second day of a three-day campaign swing through Iowa — home to the first-in-the-nation presidential caucuses.
“If this guy prints more money between now and the election, I dunno what y’all would do to him in Iowa but we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas,” Perry said. “Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous or treasonous in my opinion.”
The audience applauded his tough words.
As Perry continued, he echoed the longtime critique of the Fed often articulated by Ron Paul, the chair of the House Fed oversight panel and a 2012 GOP presidential rival.
“We’ve already tried this. All it’s going to be doing is devaluing the dollar in your pocket and we cannot afford that,” Perry said. “We have to learn the lessons of the past three years that they’ve been devastating. The President of the United States has conducted an experiment on the American economy for almost the last three years, and it has gone tragically wrong and we need to send him a clear message in November of 2012 that new leadership is coming.”
Bush selected Bernanke to replace Alan Greenspan as chairman of the Federal Reserve. President Obama renominated the Republican economist.
Asked by reporters today about former President Bush, Perry demurred.
“George Bush is not my opponent,” Perry said. “He’s a former president.”.....<<<< Source
“Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous or treasonous in my opinion.”
Why do Liberals have so much trouble with cold, hard logic?
But for Americans who do not know him, it’s eyebrow-raising rhetoric. In fact, he sounded more like Trump or Gingrich.

This is the kind of drivel one can expect from the Chrissy Matthews network.
You can never go too far in criticizing this POS they call the POTUS.
Nothing about that quote bothers me. What bothers me about Perry is when he starts talking about illegal immigration. Jorge Bush was bad enough. We don’t need a Ricardo Perry.
Of course Bush’s boys are defending their arsonist at the Fed.
This shows Perry is not a Bushie, and he may well be a real conservative, unlike the fake Bush.
FWIW, I'm open to convincing :-)
No, I don’t think Gov. Perry went too far at all; in fact, I think he is spot on!
Now, would a full-fledged RINO like Romney, McCain, etc, be making comments like this?
to be perfectly honest, it is refreshing to see someone that will take on the demonrats.....no milktoast here. I guess the media is really going to start losing their minds over this!
Perry is a conservative Democrat & master politician. He’ll run right to win the Primary and then center to win the nation. It is a solid strategy. The WH’s criticism of “his” Texas miracle is correct.
Once he’s the frontrunner, Palin will withdraw and anoint him.
I’m interested to see how he fairs against Romney. I don’t think the race will be between anyone else from now on. Bachmann will be a potential VP to shore up conservative credentials for both of them.
Although if Perry is seen as the “conservative” in the race he’ll have to go to the Country Club to get a VP candidate.
a jerbalist scam here.
Wow it’s amazing how libs play the international terrorism card when under different circumstances they refuse to admit it’s an issue.
Yes our internal problems are more severe than our external. We can withstand attack but we are being eaten alive by parasites. Like termites. They are destroying the foundation of the USA.
Everyone is crazy, ergo we must re elect Obama.
Obama has certain programs he wants but can't get them so he goes around congress with regulation. He wanted Cap and Trade but settled for the EPA shutting off coal fired electricity in 28 states. Just imagine Obama saying he wants to raise taxes, say 15%. The outcry would be huge and swift. So Bernanke prints money to devalue the currency 15% and you pay the tax at the store and gas station. The Chinese take monopoly money back for hard money they invested. How does it get any better than that for Obama?
It is a form of treason. Once the money is out there, it's very difficult to get it back and the administration of the future will have to deal with austerity, not Obama. It's called "kicking the can down the road"..........again.
Did Perry go too far?
Andrea Mitchell-Greenspan was unavailable for comment...she fainted while clutching her pearls before she was able to respond.
If MSNBC thinks you’ve gone too far...you haven’t gone far enough!
He just scratched the surface of the truth.
Nope. I appreciate his being on the side of the average American citizen. We need an advocate.
Something has to be done about the dangerous, run away government we currently have. It's about time someone spoke up before the right to do that is taken away from us, too.
MSNBC keeps up with these reports I'll be able to make my mind up pretty quickly.
It was the Communist plan in 1934. It is 0bama’s Communist plan today.
Perry needs to hunt for moose, say that he isn’t a warlock, and have an interview next Thanksgiving with turkeys being slaughtered behind him. Then, Perry would of gone too far.
