Pickens Pushes Cramer's Buttons, Executes Fist Bump (VIDEO)

Oilman turned wind power pitchman T. Boone Pickens made an appearance on CNBC's "Mad Money" with Jim Cramer yesterday, sleeves rolled up to match Cramer's. Pickens talked about his plan to make wind power make money, and when Cramer asked him why corporations hadn't gotten behind him, Pickens said he thought he might have been too early.

But Cramer wanted his answer in the form of sound effects cued by big, fun, red buttons mashed by a legendary Oklahoman, and the Oklahoman did comply. Watch below, and stay 'til the end for the fist bump!

T. Boone Pickens has a solid idea. So let's slap a tariff on foreign oil and use the money to develop green alternatives such as lighter and more fuel efficient cars, not to mention high speed trains, ebicycles, etc.? It will have the added benefit of forcing American oil companies to use domestic oil and natural gas to avoid the tariff.

I too think more people should listen to what Mr.Pickens has to say.
He has some well thought out ideas for our energy challenged nation.
Disappointed I missed him push Cramer's buttons.

That sound you hear is the sound of every black person abandoning the fist bump.

RIP Fist Bump, 2008. He now joins his wife 'Raise the Roof' and father 'Waaaassup!' in Fad Heaven.
He is survived by his son Crip Walk Dance and daughter 'Bananas'.

I also think americans really need to stop deluding themselves. The american people have been living beyond their means, and living on borrowed money for decades now. Really, did they think it would last forever? Did they think the bill would never come due? There are many people in this area that make 100k, 150k and live in 2 million dollar homes, kids in private schools, designer lives; luxury vacations...seriously, they are delusional; what did they think was going to happen when they saw a cleaning lady and six mexicans move in next door?

I mean really. No doc loans? Than is an inducement to fraud. These guys belong in prison, but the american people need to wake up and smell the bullshit.

SAVE your money. You are going to need it to move to canada. It is so bad here now, that the mexicans aren't coming here anymore.

I rest my case.

I said the same thing, but if the credit would not have been so easily obtainable I am afraid the
people would have revolted because we are the only industrialized nation that would have had
little to show regarding income. This way, the politicians knew, they could fool us thinking the US is # 1 in the world. People just thought they could live like their European Counterparts.
Now comes the awakening, I saw it coming. The average American Worker makes $ 32,000
imagine, that is peanuts compared to the Europeans who work much less and get all these
benefits. But some American disagree with spreading the wealth, they believe they would have
to share their wealth with others LOL. Now how dumb is that?

Right on, I think we should go for Geo-Thermal and wind power too. We also need electric cars NOT Natural Gas ones although I would take natural Gas over Oil.
