Cramer: My Response To The White House(Rush Limbaugh quoted)
mainstreet.com ^ | 3/5/09 | jim cramer

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 House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs' answer to a question about my pointed criticism of the president on multiple venues, including the Today Show.

"I'm not entirely sure what he's pointing to to make some of the statements," Gibbs said about my point that President Obama's budget may be one of the great wealth destroyers of all time. "And you can go back and look at any number of statements he's made in the past about the economy and wonder where some of the backup for those are, too

Nothing but a bunch of amateurs in the WH.
Too bad they don’t honor their positions.

And it sure looks like the Obama market is right back to its old ways after our little one day dead cat bounce.

LOL! I thought of that image also. We would be just as well off taking financial advice from this Kramer. (Not really but I can’t resist.)

Kinda sucks when being president is your president's first real job.

Just like Nixon's Enemies List.
They need to have a different person on the list on Rush's show each day.
Turn it into a trendy thing. "Are you on the list?"

Like celebrity appearances on Batman.

If you're not on the list, you're just not working hard enough.

"If that makes me an enemy of the White House, then call me a general of an army that Obama may not even know exists -- tens of millions of people who live in fear of having no money saved when they need it and who get poorer by the day."

Well Jim, you voted for him. Too bad you didn't have this attitude earlier.

This is exactly the kind or reasoned and specific critisism that will take it's toll on Obama.

Roosevelt could easily continue to blame the GD on Hoover precisely because there weren't Jim Cramers and Rick Santellis around in 1933 - at least that's what I'm hoping.

The market’s down another 300 points and the White House is spending its time on Rush. Talk about fiddling while Rome burns.

When will America wake up?

"And it sure looks like the Obama market is right back to its old ways after our little one day dead cat bounce."

Dow 6,000 by June clearly is no longer out of the question. And, don't laugh, but I think Dow 5,000 by the beginning of fall isn't a stretch. One just needs to extrapolate the rate of descent since November 08, and you'll easily get to 5,000 by October 09.

Whatever Cramer, you got what you voted for. If you had two cents of common sense you would have seen your boy as the capitalist hating Marxist he is. You along with the other 60 million morons who voted for Zero are making us all pay. Now that you're a target of the regime your buyers remorse falls on these deaf ears. Go eat cake Jim.
