.... Cramer is not taking the White House Smears lying down. He wrote a long response in today's Mainstreet.com and gave it right back to the Administration:
....Now some, including Rush Limbaugh, would say I am on another enemies list: that of the White House. Limbaugh says there are only a handful of us on it, and if I am on it for defending all of the shareholders out there, then I am in good company. Limbaugh -- whom I do not know personally, but having been in radio myself, know professionally as a genius of the medium -- says, "They're going to shut Cramer up pretty soon, too, but he'll go down with a fight."
Limbaugh's dead right. I am a fight-not-flight guy, so I was on my hackles when I heard White Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' answer to a question about my pointed criticism of the president on multiple venues, including the Today Show. ..

You were sure quick to get in a slam at Cramer. Cramer’s standing WITH us now - why the rush? Do you jump in that quickly to slam liberals or those standing with liberals?
And while we are on the subject of public folks bashing Obama — I heard that yesterday Chris Mathews came out swinging AGAINST him?? Have not seen it yet myself. Does anyone know about this? amazing ...
This is getting interesting considering Cramer is a Democrat.
He actually goes on to say "I actually embrace every part of Obama's agenda, right down to the increase on personal taxes and [capping] the mortgage deduction."
Well, if these policies are detrimental now, why wouldn't they be detrimental later? If increasing personal taxes today cripples the private sector; both individuals and business, then that should hold true whenever it's considered. The same for a cap on mortgage interest deductions.
This guy's another idiot socialist who is actually afraid how socialist policy, implemented too soon and during an economic crisis, may make such policy anathema to Joe Citizen. That's his big fear.
There was no slam, just facts. I simply read the referenced article and pointed out what Cramer himself said (on page 5 of 6).
Cramer *supports* Obama’s agenda.
Cramer also wants to kill the goose laying the golden eggs (capitalism), just not all at once. While a lot of people are terminally stupid, Cramer should know better.
