Lately, left-leaning economic pundit Jim Cramer has received friendly fire from Obamacrats for comments like this posted @ TheStreet.com:
We need to declare a war on unemployment and solve it before we let it get out of hand. We need to stop house-price depreciation. Neither the pork-laden stimulus plan nor the confusing mortgage proposal put forward by Obama will defeat either enemy. When Obama trounces both unemployment and house-price depreciation, he will have the power to enact anything he wants. But all the initiatives he wants to rush, like tax hikes, changes in health care, tinkering with the mortgage deduction — good grief, right now in the midst of the worst housing downturn ever — and the tough cap-and-trade rules, will derail any chance we have of turning this economy around. Instead, they put the Second Great Depression smack on the nation’s table.
I couldn’t have said it any better myself. Obama doesn’t care, but maybe there are some Democrats who will listen to Mr. Cramer and respectfully decline to join Mr. Obama in the history books.
