Jim Cramer (Democrat) slams Obama’s “radical” economic policies

Jim Cramer, one of the loudest Wall Street supporters of Barack Obama prior to the election, may now be one of the first well-known liberals to start saying publicly what many of the rest of us non-liberals have been saying for weeks or months.

While the Democrats have had some fun in recent days with the mini-tiff between Rush Limbaugh and Michael Steele, now we have a high-profile Democrat with a large following (though many people aren’t sure why) calling the president out as the radical that he is.

Cramer’s appearance on the Today Show on Tuesday morning is a must-watch (or at least the transcript is a must-read.)

And the transcript can be found HERE.

Here are some of the highlights. You’ll notice that Cramer mentions Obama’s “radical agenda” twice during the interview, and he was an Obama-supporting Democrat.

“We still have an invisible treasury secretary.”

“We have an agenda in this country now that I would regard as being a radical agenda. I think that we had a budget that came out that basically put a level of fear in this country that I have not seen ever in my life, and I think that that changed everything.”

“Shareholder-friendly? This is the most, greatest wealth destruction I’ve seen by a president.”

“The stock market is the country right now. This is where people’s wealth is.”

“I call it a garden variety depression, to distinguish from the 30% unemployment we had in 1932. We’re not going to get that. We have FDIC, we have an insurance policy called Social Security. It won’t come to that. It won’t come to civil unrest, but we do have to change the attitude of the president to go from what I regard as being a radical agenda to something that’s slower and recognizing that times are bad.”
