MinistryOfTruthiness's Journal: Cramer vs. White House - Round 2

As you may know, Cramer is an exuberant talking head and host of Mad Money -- an investor advice program which mixes Cramer's monologues with viewer call-ins and responses. Recently, the White House called him out at a press conference and told him he didn't know what he was talking about when he criticized the Obama budget as the "biggest wealth destruction by a president". This is his response:

Seems the Obama Enemies List is accumulating some rather well-liked and respected members of the media, who have huge audiences in their sectors of interest. (First, and very publicly, Rush Limbaugh, and now, also very publicly, Jim Cramer.) They're making a practice of confronting every negative comment in the media by loudly attacking the speaker instead of the message. The joke is that they're doing this in front of a lot of intelligent, well-educated audience members. Face it, these guys aren't Jerry Springer, watched by the bobbleheads of society. They're the thinking classes, the monied classes, and the classes with something to lose if Obama messes up.

Sounds like maybe Mister Obama isn't as politically savvy as he thinks. I wonder where he'll get those huge campaign contributions when the rich Democrats in New York and Hollywood are selling off their mansions they can no longer pay for? The joke of all this is that the Democratic party now incorporates more wealthy members of society than does the Republican party. He thinks he's hurting Republicans by doing all this, but in reality, it's fellow Dems who will suffer, and by extension, his campaign in 4 years.

As much as they called Bush stupid, he never shot himself in the foot on so many occasions in so short a period.

No, the joke is the actually the opposite of that.

Face it, these guys aren't Jerry Springer, watched by the bobbleheads of society.

Stop it! You're killing me!

I should hope not. He's Mr. inexperienced, after all.
