Cramer calls Obama White House “Thin Skinned”

Jim Cramer is complaining about the Obama administration and its MSM allies attack on him following his comments about their policies. He sounds wounded.

So, why after toiling in the cable wilderness for four years with Mad Money am I the target of the wrath of the Obama clan…

He points to his previous criticism of the Bush administration.

After all, my criticism of Obama's handling of the economic crisis is a lot less pointed than my withering August 2007 "They Know Nothing" meltdown against the previous regime's handling of the economic crisis.

So what does he perceive to be the difference?

The answer lies in the way the two administrations handled criticism.
The Bush administration, I believed, simply chose to ignore my warnings, perhaps because of a brutal combination of ideology, fecklessness and complacency.

By contrast...

President Obama's team, unlike Bush's team, demonstrates a thinness of skin that shocks me.

Jim, Jim, Jim. Don’t you understand a damn thing, do you? No, I guess not. You see, you are a self identified Liberal. The Bush administration needed a thick skin. How else do you continue to govern when the Democrats in congress and the media question whether George Bush was the Prince of Darkness or if that post was held by Dick Cheney?

What the hell good would a phone call from the White House have done? Supposed they called you or to the editorial page of the NY Times? Tell me Jim, would you not have considered it a badge of honor if they had called to respond to you? Would you have told your viewers you were on the Bush White House “enemies list?” And what do you think would have been the reaction from the editorial writers of the NY Times, the LA Times, the Washington Post or the alphabet networks if the Bush staff would have complained? At best an eerie silence, at worst complaint that they were trying to silence their critics.

Sorry, Jim. The treatment you’re getting only works when the Democrats are in power. These are your people, Jim. This is how they work. This is how they handle dissent. This is how life is lived in state where the government and the press are in love.

And Jim, I thought you were a blowhard before. Now I see that you are a stupid blowhard. But there is a life lesson, as my friend Rush Limbaugh would say.

Even after this, you still don’t get it. They invented a phrase for you: stuck on stupid.. Obama is thin skinned ... because he can.
