Obama Takes Heat Over Tanking Markets

Jim Cramer, at the beginning of CNBC's Mad Money, reported that President Obama "actually said it was a good time to buy stocks," and added, "Given that it was Obama who knocked the whole darn thing down, he might have some inside information that he's done enough damage for now. ... Obama is clearly not a day-trader-- although he could make a killing on the short side with his radical agenda."

Former Democratic Rep. Harold Ford, appearing on MSNBC's Hardball with Cramer, said, "I happen to agree with Cramer's points, his larger thrust, the point he is trying to make to this Administration."

1. He's a Free-Market Friedman Shill
trying to push the Democratic Party away from the left and more towards the right. He may as well be a Republican.

3. I also think he resents Obama's success and looks for every opportunity
to cut him down.

4. I can't speak to that but I always found him to be a little weasel. You might be right on. nt

5. I feel the same way
Jealousy is a hell of a thing. Can you imagine if he had won?

6. He would have been an even bigger thorn in Obama's side if he'd won.
Maybe a real Democrat can take that seat next time. Better than this turncoat.

2. He's always been useless. It certainly is not surprising. nt
