Cramer on Obama: 'It's Amateur Hour at Our Darkest Moment'
NewsBusters ^ | March 3, 2009 | Jeff Poor

Posted on 03/03/2009 7:23:40 AM PST by Rufus2007

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.

"CNBC's resident clown is finally getting it... "

No, they aren't "getting it" at CNBC. It's not so-much amatuer hour at the White House as it is scandal and back-dealing.

AIG, for instance, is being propped up with hundreds of Billions of our Dollars, even though it was founded in China and even though where the money is going is being kept secret.

AIG is being used to funnel money secretly.

So much for 0bama's "transparency" that he promised.

Transparency like his long form BC, College Records, and Medical Records. Don’t we have any good hackers here?

There is not one single area of governance in which 0bama is not an absolute, unmitigated disaster. I hope and pray that next year (which can’t come soon enough) God will guide voters to bring a conservative Congress on board to put the brakes on Obama.

I seem to remember Imanutjob saying that our economy was going to collapse soon. This is a conspiracy. If he knows what's going on, you can bet there are a lot of other people who know as well. They need to get exposed, somehow.

*****************************************

It was actually totally relevant!

That south park episode was referencing that “Kramer” freakout where he started shouting the N-word in the comedy club.

It was a 2%-er, I’ll grant you. Very funny to any who knew the reference

The solution was “NAGGERS”.

Obama wants this to happen. Let the economy get bad enough and he can rule because the government has the money and everyone at that point is a dependent.

That is Socialism.

If the people show discontent Obama can change the subject to social issues, Rush Limbaugh, the environment or any other hot button issue.

If it gets bad enough he can start another war or arrange a Reichstag fire to keep power.

I'm sure some of them helped push perception down...
