It was news media conventional wisdom during the 2008 presidential campaign: the worse the economy, the better it was for Democrat candidate prospects. But now that they have the legislative and executive branches and the burden of actually governing, that advantage is slowly being chipped away.
CNBC "Mad Money" host Jim Cramer, who first starting connecting that perhaps a Democrat-controlled federal government might not be the best thing for the United States earlier this year, gave something of a downbeat rant on Feb. 2 about Obama's handling of the economy so far.
"Until the Obama administration starts listening, until they start paying attention to what you're watching - to the stock market, until they realize that their agenda is destroying the life savings of millions of Americans - then all I can give you is caution," Cramer said on his March 2 broadcast.

Cramer wanted Obama, how you like him now Jimmy boy?!
Who says it’s all bad news?
Amazing coming from the Flaming Lib Cramer. He was the Colmes to Kudlow’s Hannity back when that duo had a how on CNBC.
“I thought the prices, the screen, the action, the sense of a vortex down that cannot be stopped, of equities becoming worthless, of savings becoming tattered, of a stock market without bottom,” Cramer said. “But this time in slow motion, I felt the total lack of control that we all feel right now - the ‘it’s out of my hands,’ the ‘where’s the authority,’ the, ‘Hey, it’s amateur hour at our darkest moment.’ It’s the feeling of capitalism vanishing, businesses capsizing under their own weight - thanks to an administration that doesn’t seem to know or maybe doesn’t care.”
But that ethnic pull of voting Dem pulled him in, he deserves his fate, it is his fault for siding with Emanuel and “Obama is good for the Jews” shtick.
Isn’t he a dim? I’ve already read half a dozen columns just this morning, about how dims are not happy.
All this Obummer buyers remorse is making me ill.
Heck of a time to wake up.......
Hey Everybody, quit bitching. We have a miraculous Obama rally going on right now. THE DOW IS UP 27 WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I can’t wait for the “One” to order another rally tomorrow.
We want them to wake up and come over to the good side. We want them to see what they have done. We cannot win unless more of them see the error of their ways.
We need more and more people to understand how myopic they were.
Of course, it is too late in many respects, but we really do need people to see how wrong they were.
“It’s the feeling of capitalism vanishing, businesses capsizing under their own weight - thanks to an administration that doesn’t seem to know or maybe doesn’t care.”
BINGO! Maybe Cramer is getting it? I’m convinced that the socialists in charge want to break the capitalists, and keep the people poor and scared.
It is the best way to have a maliable public.
No, he’s not. He wasn’t listening when Obama said the US economy needed to be reduced significantly. It appears that NO ONE was listening. Everybody was hearing what they wanted to hear, not what he was saying. It is the Biblical standard of having ears to hear, but not hearing...etc.
Wow, did someone slip him some truth serum.
As much as I despise FUBO and Lord I do ... it’s the houses of Congress who are mostly responsible for this mess which started during the Klintoon years with Freddie and Fannie (Barney Frank and Chris Dodd). As of late it’s the Pelosi and Reid junta that’s perpetuating the crisis
Will Obama’s Press puppy attack him today?
I want them nowhere near me. I want them in jail.
This guy voted for the disaster.
