Jim Cramer: "This bill is dead"

[Avalux]

On MSNBC a few minutes ago - he's convinced that stock market performance over the past few weeks indicates Obama will not get anything meaningful done on health insurance reform. "It's dead!".

Chuckie Todd openly laughed at him.

[marmar]

1. How does this discredited snake oil salesman still have a job?

Cramer is a clown.

[WeDidIt]

2. Should be passed wihtin the next couple of weeks, then

Cramer's the guy who said there was nothing wrong in the financial industry just before the meltdown.

[elehhhhna]

32. Yep. If Cramer says it's dead, it's very much alive

[Engineer4Obama]

3. Great that means

The bill is going to pass. Jim Cramer is working on his Bill Kristol mojo at being wrong about everything.

[Aloha Spirit]

5. lol

[Bleacher Creature]

23. Cramer and Kristol have nothing on Dick Morris.

Now excuse me while I continue to commiserate on the Republican upset in the 2006 Congressional elections and reminisce about the Hillary Clinton- Condi Rice 2008 Presidential election.

[rucky]

4. WTF?

What's will all the crazy fortune tellers on my tee-vee?

[tavalon]

6. Jim Cramer is listed in the dictionary under "idiot"

[dgibby]

14. If that's true, the other idiots should sue for defamation. n/t

[harun]

7. If that bill is dead, which it isn't, then fine, we'll pass H.R. 676. How would you like them apples

Jimmy?

[Phoebe Loosinhouse]

8. Excellent! That means the chance of its passing have just been enormously magnified. nt

[lumberjack_jeff]

9. Yay! This is the best indicator yet!

The do-the-opposite-of-anything-Jim-Cramer-suggests indicator!

Cue Jon Stewart!

[Vinca]

10. What struck me about that segment was how gleeful Cramer was.

It doesn't matter people are dying every day we don't have health care reform.

[Ikonoklast]

11. You can bet the farm it will pass, then.

Cramer- the guy whose stock picks are wrong 2/3 of the time.

If you take that paid shill's advice on financial matters, you're broke.

[alcibiades_mystery]

12. BUY BEAR STEARNS

And other famous Jim Cramer predictions.

:rofl:

[flpoljunkie]

13. Yes, but didn't he also say insurance companies' stock was flat.

[SemiCharmedQuark]

15. Jim Cramer: Lenny Dykstra is one of the great ones! (Re financial planning)

16. Take a few guesses where Jimmy Cramer used to work.

[invictus]

17. .

[underpants]

18. Yes he harkened back to 1993....um Jim have you forgetton 9 months ago?

and how desperately wrong "the market" was then....
and before that on the run up to the housing bubble bursting....
and before that when the tech bubble burst......

[berni_mccoy]

19. AWESOME! Cramer is 100% wrong on his stock picks as well...

You can bet anytime he says anything, the complete opposite holds true.

There is actually a fund in his name that makes trades based on the opposite of what he says. It does quite well.

[Canuckistanian]

26. Really? An Anti-Cramer Fund?

I'd like to see the charts on that.

[BlueIdaho]

20. When

Was the last time this idiot was right about anything?

[Rosa Luxemburg]

21. Mr. Cramer doesn't want to save our nation some money

[Teaser]

22. Jim Cramer is always wrong.

so take heart.

[the other one]

24. Yup. nt

[Prism]

25. I guess this means single-payer is going to pass after all

Sweet.

[John Q. Citizen]

27. Crammer's poor prognostication record not withstanding, what was his point?

How did he link up insurers stock prices to whether a bill would pass or not?

[Jennicut]

28. LMAO. WTF does the stock market have to do with how the Senate and House act on a bill?

:rofl:

[HopeOverFear]

29. Cramer learned nothing after Jon Stewart whooped his ass.

[kitkat65]

30. Two words come to mind: Bear and Stearns.

On that note, I've never felt more hopeful!

[damonm]

31. In the real world, this means...

"passage is assured - it's already law!"
Jim Cramer says something, I'll believe the opposite.

[BlooInBloo]

33. WOOT! We're gonna get a bill!!!!

[Orsino]

34. Therefore, it isn't. n/t

[Cha]

35. jim cramer shoots off his mouth

and is never held responsible for the shit he comes up with.

[truedelphi]

41. Usually he gets away with it. But then there was the

Night that Jon Stewart made him look like a blithering idiot.

It was wonderful!

[madinmaryland]

36. Jim Cramer: "Is a Discredited Idiot"

[FrenchieCat]

37. Hasn't this guy been proven to be wrong a lot, before????

[Aramchek]

38. Jim Cramer aka Opposite Man

[truedelphi]

42. If I played the market, that is what I would do as to his forecasts

It's just a shame that he has a steady paycheck when so many deserving souls don't.

[depakid]

39. And yet wal;ks around not having been prosecuted for admitted violations of federal law

[Phx_Dem]

40. Uh, no Jim. The only thing dead is your brain. n/t
