Jim Cramer: "Everybody Wishes Obama Would Just Kind Of Go Away" (VIDEO)

Here's a video of Jim Cramer, kicking it with Joe Scarborough, on the issue of healthcare reform. At the ready is a "stunning" poll indicating that Americans were more concerned with paying down deficits than they are about stimulating the economy. Chances are, those Americans are under the impression that the economy is already stimulated, and that attention rightly should be paid now to combating deficits down the line. Naturally, Scarborough turns this into an issue of health care reform: "Don't you think," Scarborough asks Cramer, "that this puts the Obama administration behind the eight ball on health care?" Hey, maybe a poll on support for health care reform would be a better way of placing the issue in context? Probably!

But Cramer insists, without evidence, that "when Americans hear health care reform, it just means tax increases." No chance that Americans think it might just mean, "Oh! You mean I might be able to afford asthma inhalers for my family, and what not?" Not at all! In fact, according to Cramer: "Until we get the economy moving again, I think everybody wishes that Obama would just kind of go away for a little bit."

Seems like only yesterday that the media was telling us that everyone wanted Obama to work on the economy and nothing else, forever. But now it's time to "go away." Surely, this is indeed what "everybody" wants!

Jim Cramer now speaks for Everyone! I think he should follow his Hair and Go Away.

[cdchicago]

Define "Everybody"?

I wish he would step it up.

If the comments on this site are any indication, Jim Cramer has gone away in the sense that those who hear his rants about Presiden Obama do not agree with Cramer. On CNBC it is becomming more and more popular to thump Obama-not logically, but rather ideologically. Is CNBC becomming FoxLite?

Cramer wants us to believe in his stock market speech manipulations. He knows Obama's interest in the health care reform is something he promised in his change campaign, and that it will take the spotlight away from Cramers stock market picks and manipulation blogs. Obama did not create this housing/banking mess as he's not been in office long enough to shoulder that responsibility. Cramer on the other hand, has had his true colors shown by the likes of Jon Stewart, Nouriel Roubini and numerous others in you tube videos...how many times has he called a "false" housing bottom thus far? MARKET manipulation at it's tackiest!! The only thing Cramer is interested in is making money off the taxpayer as well as the government/banking..so yes, I can understand why he wants Obama to just go away. WE THE PEOPLE WOULD LOVE TO SEE CRAMER GO AWAY......FAR AWAY

Your house is worth $125,000 but you paid $250,000 don"t worry with "Mark-To-Market" Neutered you can say whatever you want to about your home value and no one can refute you!
Now when you go in for a loan, simply declare the house is worth $300,000 and along with your clean "ON-THE-BOOKS Balance Sheet" with no visible other debts means you get money from the FED at 1% interest or maybe less!
Why can"t this world be true for ALL AMERICANS like it is for Wall Street?
We do not own Congress and they DO using ill-gotten FUNDS!
Are the Wall Street Banks really healthy? With "OFF-THE-BOOKS" accounting and "MARK-TO-MARKET" Neutered who knows what the truth is!

Everyone wishes Cramer would just kind of go away.

Didn't he learn anything from Jon Stewart?

[JLRoberson]

I really wish this fevered ego would go away.

If he had a soul he would have dedicated himself to helping the poor the day after the Stewart interview. Or put a gun in his mouth.

[Clayton139]

WOW! I was going to say YES, Cramer and his Fat Cat Wall Street friends leave !

But, I think you put it the way MOST Americans feel about "In Cramer we don't Trust" anymore! We have got to remember that Cramer and his Fat Cat Wall Street friends are the ones that "burnt down the economy" for years in the making !!!

For him to go out on TV every night and do his same old show just shows he is out of touch with most of America and doesn't care !

I think you said it best in your post though !

[traveler501]

"fevered ego"...nice one! *grin*

[suzdav]

By evertyone ou mean you and Joe, right (and Rush, Glenn and Sean and Bill)? You are all LIARS extraordinaire.

[Jonni Rae]

This guy is one of the perpetrators of the financial meltdown. His hypocrisy is only matched by the news media that keeps asking him for "advice," treating him as if he knows anything of any importance to anyone.

[Clayton139]

You have got that right !

[sc92705]

Obama is printing money like there is no tommorow.

[suzdav]

Where were you when BUSH was printing money for his wars and CUTTING all other programs?

[traveler501]

of course...he is doing that just to ruin the country and out of sheer ignorance. he will never stop either, he will print and print. doofus!

[sc92705]

Not right to paint Jimbo on this statement. He comes out with some intelligent observations; you have to be able to separate the good stuff from the bad. He's human, makes mistakes, his intentions are the best.

[cdrach]

if you "took Jimbo's advice" when the Dow was at 14000 you would now be 40-50% poorer

[skantea]

If Your job is to talk and you have nothing to talk about, then....

[witchie]

To tell ya the truth.... I wish Joe and Cramer would go away!!!!

[S22]

I believe that Obama is the BEST President that we have had in the last 40 years. Cramer is a hot-headed jerk.

[NL207]

Obama has already inflicted enough damage on America to be judged the worst President in American history. This is apparent to anyone with any judgement skills, Cramer being one of those. As time progresses, this fact will become apparent to a majority of the American peiople as well.

[frogluv73]

Those American "peiople."

[Poorsarah]

Cramers judgment skills rely on being a corporate-bought parrot, period. That doesn't sound like good judgment at all.

[Aliksa]

I am rather tired of people on the air telling me what "Americans" think for one thing. The beauty of this country is that everone has the freedom to expressTHEIR OWN thoughts and not be punished for it. Obama is GREAT!! not perfect but great. The Republicans seem to not be able to recognize that it was their policies for the past 8 years that got us in the mess we are in: financial, environmental, political and any other way you can think of. We desperately need health care reform!!! We need an option that is there for everyone so that , yes, they can still buy their inhalers when they lose their jobs; so that the elderly don't have to choose between buying medication or food. That is absolutely backward and uncivilized! There are 'third world countries' who provide better care and have lower infant mortality rates. I would rather that these people wake up and take a long hard look around at the world we find ourselves in....it's not the world they are dreaming.......and I'd like them to start contributing to the conversation to solve the problems. But if they are unable to do that, then they need to step out of the way and let others get to work and not just blabber discouraging nonsense. Get lost, in other words

[pattyg77]

.....Agreed! You said it, 'true words' to be read again & again.
