- "I’m not surprised by President Bush’s sunny economic outlook—this president would praise the Weimar Republic’s hyperinflation as great for Home Depot and the wheelbarrow industry.

I'm not a big Cramer fan, so knowing that he's a Bernanke optimist makes me feel worse about the future of the economy. Did you see the articles that showed his investment recommendations did pretty significantly worse than the S&P 500? Forecasting does not seem to be his strong suit.
No, I didn't see that, but I'm not surprised. People like Warren Buffet and Peter Lynch aren't so loud and grating.
