[I know that most of you have heard this story, but this article has three videos all lined up to tell the story. Cramer's original story, Gibb's response, and Cramer on NBC discussing it. It's a great trio of videos you can send to someone to tell the tale.]

Criticize the president, his programs, or even the pattern on the White House china and suffer the wrath of thin-skinned Obama Press Secretary Robert Gibbs.

CNBC host Jim Cramer has now joined Rush Limbaugh and reporter Rick Santelli in the esteemed ranks of those personally criticized by Gibbs.

On his own CNBC show, Cramer’s said the administration’s handling of the economy was “amateur hour at our darkest moment.” He said there was a “total lack of control.”

The next day Cramer told the Today Show that he “thought the president’s policies, his agenda had contributed to the greatest wealth destruction he’s ever seen by a president.”

“This is where I have to probably be careful,” Gibbs said in response to a question from NBC’s Tom Costello. “…I’m not entirely sure what he’s pointing to, to make some of the statements that he’s made and you can go back and look at any number of statements that he’s made in the past about the economy and wonder where some of the backup for those are too.”

“I’m going to get in a lot of trouble if I continue,” Gibbs added.

It’s now being widely reported that the White House is running an enemies operation in concert with the RAT party, including that snake Carville. Doesn’t the MSM have a problem with this? Hello, Tricky Dick flashbacks anyone?

Interesting development. The luster is fading on the obozo administration & the lapdogs (media) of the RAT party are taking off the shades and starting to really the see the tyrannical obozo administration. Fascinating to watch the unfolding.

Cramer is a democrat who I believe voted for Obama.

Like everyone else on Planet Earth, he has (or soon will have) Buyers Remorse.

Imagine one of GW’s Press Secretary ever doing this to a reporter?? Rather this press corpse lies still.

Pray for America

Cramer on Obama's Anti-Wall Street Comments:
'We Heard Lenin'

By Jeff Poor
February 2, 2009

With all the populist sentiment generated from the economic slowdown by politicians, CNBC "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer is seeing eerie similarities with the comments of President Barack Obama and the words of a communist revolutionary..."

My words on November 5th:

“Ancient Israel wanted a king, so God gave them a king. The US wanted Obama so God gave us Obama. Let’s see how that works out for us.”

I believe, too, that God offered us an Esther and they chose a King. To their detriment.
