Jim Cramer, CNBC’s wildman on Wall Street, has shot back at Press Secretary Robert Gibbs and President Obama after saying “I actually embrace every part of Obama’s agenda.”
Cramer admitted something he’s never admitted before — he’s always been a Democrat and always supported Democrats. But he thinks this is not the time for Obama’s expensive, tax-raising agenda.
“So I will fight the fight against that agenda. I will stand up for what I believe and for what I have always believed: Every person has a right to be rich in this country and I want to help them get there. And when they get there, if times are good, we can have them give back or pay higher taxes. Until they get there, I don’t want them shackled or scared or paralyzed. That’s what I see now.”
“If that makes me an enemy of the White House,” Cramer concluded, “then call me a general of an army that Obama may not even know exists — tens of millions of people who live in fear of having no money saved when they need it and who get poorer by the day.”
Good work, Cramer. With one opinion piece, you’ve simultaneously raised yourself a couple notches in our esteem and on the President’s enemies list.

Mr. Cramer is still confused. He writes:
“To be totally out of the closet, I actually embrace every part of Obama’s agenda, right down to the increase on personal taxes and the mortgage deduction… I believe in cap and trade… But these are issues that we have no time for now…”
but he cannot “embrace every part of Obama’s agenda” because as he says, he believes “Every person has a right to be rich in this country…”
His eyes have been partially opened but he still has no clue what “Obama’s agenda” is!
