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!

Well, the 46% who voted Palin/McCain probably agree with Cramer. Then again, Obama's approval rating is 58% - still pretty high.

Everybody thinks Jon Stewart showed he was the Billy Kristol of finance. He's branching into politics. Now he wants to be Billy Kristol public opinion.

Jim Cramer picks stocks worse than a monkey. The Jim Cramer portfolio on a certain financial website is currently being beat by 75% of the people registered on the site. He currently underperforms the SP500 by a long shot, meaning that a monkey could throw darts at any of the SP500 stocks and have a better than 50/50 shot at beating Cramer's picks.

Cramer picked TXT as a buy when it was over $50/share 9 months ago. When it dropped all the way down to $3.50/share this year, Cramer told his audience to sell it. Within a month the stock was back up to above $15/share and is still trading above $9.50/share.

If you did the exact opposite of what Jim Cramer advises every day you'd be better off. Short everything he suggests buying and go long with all his sell recommendations.

Why should we care what Jerry Seinfeld's neighbor thinks? Especially after he lost all his hair.

[SeymourButz]

By "everybody", he means all his capitalistic fat cat friends who are the only people he talks to.

[WaimeaWidow]

By everybody, does he mean all the people who voted for Obama?

[HoneyRyder]

I think Jim Cramer is a machocist. He keeps setting himself up for more abuse. I think he likes the backlash and humiliation, it's the only press he will get nowadays since no one listens to his dreadful advice anymore. I don't know a single person who has every made any money listening to Cramer. I worke don Wall Street for 3 years, all the real pros thinks he is a dufus.

If Cramer followed his own advice, he must have lost a fortune during the last 8 years. Weird that he would take on Obama. Why?

[Patricia84]

Why isn't this guy being investigated?

[VivaZapata]

Who's everybody? I'm sure many more would rather Cramer go away than Obama; I know I would.

[moUSAnMe]

What does Cramer know about health care? he is into stocks, ect.and missed the ball on the big fall of wall street.........and knows less about health care.
And Joe is selling his book, and thinks he can revive the GOP.

[Noland]

Didn't he have his 15 minutes already and was sent away with his tail between his legs?

[sippewissett]

Wishful thinking + projection = Cramer wishing Obama would "just go away". Cramer has already been shown to be a jerk/nincompoop. Why do we care what he thinks? Who's watching him anyway?

[RockyMtns]

Not the people's sentiments. Wrong again, Jim.

[Scruffyboo2]

YOU'RE THE ONE WHO SHOULD JUST GO AWAY, CAPITALIST DOG!

[norkas]

I am not a liberal but a moderate and feel great and realxed now that i quit watching morning Joe.

As for Crammer he will be on the comedys again becaue he oftenmakes a fool of himself.

I am a Keith fan becaus ehe often in fact almost every show reports the facts when he disagrees with someone.

If any of you get upset with Joe is on and hope he will get better forget it. Turn to another channel and watch the news and have your own opinion and solutuion as opposed to Joe who always complain with no solutions.

I wish Cramer would go away. FOREVER.
