Aug 16, 2011: >>>>Perry’s comments were immediately condemned by a longtime aide to former President George W. Bush, the man who first appointed Bernanke to his job.

“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.” .........<<<< Source

Rove sort of reminds me of what a shaved gerbil would look like.

I’m sure Obama appreciates the gratis attacks from one Republican to another...

That pretty much sums it up right there, doesn't it?

While politically Rove may have a point, it is indisputable that the money printing is grossly irresponsible and will almost certainly result in hyperinflation. Hyperinflation, by the way, causes unspeakable hardship amongst the masses and fuels societal collapse, among other things equally undesirable.

I'm sure Carl Rove is aware of the risks we face, so he must be trying to do some sort of damage control.

Also, I assume this to still be true, but a former professor who used to work for the Fed told me that the Chairman of the Fed gets ifs marching orders from the Treasury, who in turn marches to the beat of the White House drums. If still true, Mr. Bernake and his Board of Governors are not totally to blame on this.

If Toyko Rove doesn’t like Perry the Perry must be doing something right!

I told people here on FR earlier this morning. The elites now have it in for Perry, because he dared to say something negative about the Fed.

This is why the press has decided to ignore Ron Paul.

This is why the press ignores McCotter.

All Hail the Fed. We’re all supposed to worship every word the Fed pronounces, even when they’re a) proven wrong, b) engage in fraud, c) engage in bailouts well beyond their charter.

For the elites, questioning the Fed is heresy, and we all know what happens to heretics, don’t we.
