2. I find it ironic that we see this kind of passion about the markets, but not Iraq
And yeah I know, Cramer's deal is the markets, not foreign policy, but it's still weird to see.

7. Iraq and money it's both
Once bush invaded Iraq it became a gold mine, 911 is what this economy is all about........it's all borrowed money to move us forward borrowed money to make rich people rich and give the bill to the middle class......it has happened before but not at this grand scale......Where do you put your money???

3. Incredible...
What I like about it is that his concern is for people losing their homes. He really takes this to heart. I like how they made sure to tack a disclaimer on before going to commercial. I don't usually watch that show so I am not sure if that is regularly done.

5. Bullshit. He has admitted his propensity to manipulate markets before...
(see my other post). His faux concern is strictly self serving.

25. Yep.
He's worried about his hedge fund buddies and wants a big bailout in the form of a rate drop. Funny how Wall Street insists on free markets and deregulation until it comes time to pay the piper and then they go begging for the government to save them. In this case, the cost would be far too high. Let them suffer for their greed.

6. Whoa! Remind me to never go out drinking with that guy.
Edited on Sat Aug-04-07 08:23 PM by TomInTib
I was at Sorvino's Ristorante a few weeks ago sitting at a table next to Warren Buffet.

And I never heard him raise his voice or become excited.

I wonder how he made all of that money with such a calm demeanor.

13. Man, a little dramatic shall we say.
Edited on Sat Aug-04-07 09:12 PM by Maestro
He must have lost some money or something....Actually, he did say that something like "We'll spend millions in Iraq to build houses," but then he stopped himself. I wonder why he stopped himself?

14. The reThuglicons financial oligarchy are inserting the shaft
...and Jim Cramer is one of the key recipients and my advice to Jim is hold onto the pole very tightly :hurts: :nopity: :crazy:

So much for the invisible hand of Adam Smith's capitalistic utopia!

15. 20 years of outsourcing, and no problem with that for Mighty Cramer
Edited on Sat Aug-04-07 09:43 PM by hatrack
But boy oh boy oh boy, let some of his friends on Wall Street or in the mortgage business face losing their jobs, and it's Explosion of Indignation time, yessiree Bob.`

16. Awesome. Good for Cramer.
That what makes Jim Cramer good- he is willing to tell it straight. He's the exact opposite of a hack. He's the real deal.
And to the comment above, yes, we can only long for someone in the political arena who had the balls to be as impassioned about lives and deaths in Iraq. Well, then again, I guess that's Kucinich. God bless him, and all straight shooters. Fuck Thuglick professional obfuscators.

23. I'm guessing he took a bath last week and needs rate cuts to get bailed out.
I honestly don't believe he cares about people losing their houses.

19.  Cramer wasn't all that upset when the Enron scandal broke. He and his pal, Larry Kudlow
spent a lot of time on their show trying to sell their viewers that Enron was, "a 'business' scandal and not a 'political' scandal".:eyes:

20. Who IS this drama queen?
They hired this guy to talk finance and business affairs? What's he doing without a suit? Why isn't he praising Bush and the Iraq War? And why the hell does he care about all those people about to lose their homes? That was never the point of anything in American business for the last thirty years!
