After killing your portfolio, Jim Cramer steps on its corpse to stand up for the rich. Yay!

I’ll be back with comments shortly, but first, here’s a little world class bloggy coverage of Jim Cramer sucking courtesy of the Jason Linkins on Huffington Post.

Here’s a video of Jim Cramer, kicking it with Joe Scarborough, on the issue of healthcare reform. At the ready is a “stunning” poll indicating that Americans were more concerned with paying down deficits than they are about stimulating the economy. Chances are, those Americans are under the impression that the economy is already stimulated, and that attention rightly should be paid now to combating deficits down the line. Naturally, Scarborough turns this into an issue of health care reform: “Don’t you think,” Scarborough asks Cramer, “that this puts the Obama administration behind the eight ball on health care?” Hey, maybe a poll on support for health care reform would be a better way of placing the issue in context? Probably!

But Cramer insists, without evidence, that “when Americans hear health care reform, it just means tax increases.” No chance that Americans think it might just mean, “Oh! You mean I might be able to afford asthma inhalers for my family, and what not?” Not at all! In fact, according to Cramer: “Until we get the economy moving again, I think everybody wishes that Obama would just kind of go away for a little bit.”

Seems like only yesterday that the media was telling us that everyone wanted Obama to work on the economy and nothing else, forever. But now it’s time to “go away.” Surely, this is indeed what “everybody” wants!

Okay.  So…

Bear Stearns.  Bear Stearns.  Bear Sterns.  I don’t give a flying crap about what you have to say because of that, and many other things.

Really?  We wish Obama would go away?  Even with his 63% approval rating?  What are your ratings, you bald inaccurate 401K killing jackhole?  Shouldn’t you be juggling pies, or hitting buttons that make fart noises?

This, by the way, is why Obama continues to win.  ”Clowns to the left of me, Jokers to the right.”  Despite some legitimate criticism over legitimate broken campaign promises, the big news was that Peta sent him a humane fly trap (sigh) and this guy’s complaining about economic reform.

This guy, who maybe he’s right AND wrong, but when he’s wrong, he’s SUPER wrong.  And we know, already, how good he is with numbers.  ”Everybody.”  Is that as accurate like “Don’t sell Bear Stearns?”  

Yeah, that’s right, asshat.  You get something big like that wrong, you get to wear it for a while.  Not scurry under your pal Donald Trump’s hair and hide.

So, you are right about one thing, despite being out of balance in your mind AND your ledger.

America is sick of somebody and wants them to go away.

But it ain’t the president.

Get a mirror.
