Rick Perry, Week One

Nice start.  In summary, Federal Reserve Chair Ben Bernanke should be tried for treason, and he's not so sure if the President loves his country.

CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa -- Texas Gov. Rick Perry capped off his first full day of campaigning in Iowa on Monday by suggesting that if the Federal Reserve prints more money between now and November 2012 it would be akin to an act of treason.

“If this guy prints more money between now and the election,” Perry said, “I don’t know what y’all would do to him in Iowa, but we -- we would treat him pretty ugly down in Texas. Printing more money to play politics at this particular time in American history is almost treacherous -- or treasonous in my opinion.”

And on President Obama's patriotism:



I guess having once suggested Texas should secede from the Union is neither treasonous, nor unpatriotic.

Can't wait until tomorrow. And the day after that. And the day after that.
