Rick Perry has come under fire this week by critics on both side of the political aisle who have called his remark that it would be "treasonous" for Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke to continue "printing money to play politics" both inappropriate and unpresidential.

Despite criticism, Perry stood by his comment yesterday, asserting that many politicians have questioned the transparency of the Federal Reserve. He stated that until the Fed "opens its books ... there will continue to be questions about their activity and what their true goal is for the United States.”

Although the 2012 Presidential election is 15 months away, many Americans are already heated up about it. This week, hecklers from both sides of the political aisle turned up at events held by both the GOP contenders and President Obama to challenge the candidates at town hall-style forums.

Larry Sabato, director of the Center for Politics at the University of Virginia, told Carol Costello yesterday, "We're moving into a confrontational society. We don't want to listen to C-SPAN, that's too boring. Instead we make our decisions based on political flashmobs."

Perhaps, he added, politicians are now judged on how well they respond to hecklers - not how well they explain their policies.
