The good folks in the Obama administration and in the media took on the wrong foe with Jim Cramer, for the outspoken CNBC personality struck back at his ill-informed and economically-challenged critics Monday in a fashion those that have watched him for years have grown to expect.
In his self-titled "Cramer Takes on the White House, Frank Rich and Jon Stewart," the "Mad Money" host: referred to the current White House as "exacerbating the crisis with its budget and policies"; accurately exposed the New York Times' Frank Rich and comedian Jon Stewart for cherry-picking snippets of his on-air recommendations in order to discredit him, and; complimented the civility of folks on the right declaring, "I always love anyone from Fox on the team because they are fierce in their defense with much less gratuitous slamming."

In other words, he's looking for his own show on Fox News. He wants to get off that failing NBC network.
Can you blame him? lol
We need to be careful. Cramer may be part of the plan to lend legitimacy to the final budget. Obama will call for a summit and include Cramer and then they will come to an agreement. The agreegment will make O look like he is a moderate but the end result will still be socialism.
I trust Cramer about as much as I could throw him.
Yup.
Watch the media in action when Cramer begins supporting Obama’s policies.
Cramer supports cap and trade.
I remember about ten years ago when he gave comment on a Yahoo financial board and something like 38,000 people bashed his opinion in message threads. LOL, they had to stop allowing posting on the thread.
This guy is ALL about Cramer.
Conservatives invest too.
Has Jon Stewart taken up a career as a comedian? Let me invoke the time-old heckler chant : “You’re Not Funny!!”
BHOle may singlehandedly TURN NY into a Republican state......given another 30 days to work his Magic !
Fitting, since I refer to his supporters as O-holes :-)
Sounds to me like he’s looking for a new job with another business news network.
I agree.
Politics makes for strange bedfellows ... WELCOME those to our side that have a pulpit/microphone; and are speaking out a truth, more may follow ... gradually. MO.
Whatever his motive ... self serving or not.
Some people do actually see the light finally.

Seems like proof that some mental health drugs really do work.... amazing.
Remember that show “Fridays” that he used to do? He was even funnier in some of the skits he did there than on Seinfeld. In one 1970s/disco-era skit, he was in a jeans shop at some mall in a narrow stall trying on ‘tight-fitting’ jeans. With ‘Burn Baby Burn’, by the Tramps, blasting away in the background, struggling to get the jeans on, he crashes through the door and onto the floor before a crowd of startled shoppers, with his pants halfway down! Oh, well. It’s one of those things you just had to see for yourself. I tried.
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..."
