Jim Cramer On TurboTax Tim: "If Geithner Gets To Be Treasury Secretary We Are Kaput, We Are Completely And Royally Hosed As A Nation"
As if one admittedly market manipulating clown interviewing another admittedly tax challenged clown is not the biggest time waster in the world, here is an actual moment of honesty from at least one of the clowns (the other one should be completely ignored: after all it was him who said that there is no chance the US will be downgraded three months before it was... why anyone listens to this pathologically wrong liar is beyond us). So... without further ado here is Cramer's 2008 rant on Tim Geithner: "If Tim Geithner, the much praised and ballyhooed NY Fed Chairman gets to be Obama's Treasury secretary, and he looks like a shoo in for the job, let me just tell you something, we are done, we are kaput, we are finished, we are completely and royally hosed as a nation... Geithner should be facing a senate investigation, not a senate confirmation...I am predicting he will be a total disaster as he has been as a New York Fed Chairman. Please I am beginning you: don't hire Tim Geithner, he is an academic and all he has going for him is that he is a democrat" For once we agree with at least one of the two clowns.
So for those who want to know what is actually going to happen, here is what Geithner is saying today, courtesy of Bloomberg. The truth will be diametrically the opposite of everything Geithner has just said.

- GEITHNER SAYS U.S. FINANCIAL SYSTEM STRONGER

he was right on THS
It's hard to believe that Kramer has gotten ANYTHING right, but he nailed this one.
Uh, yea maybe in 2007....but the point is Cramer was just on CNBC this morning deep throating Timmah on world TV.
I think Cramer peaked with the "Iron Man" cameo.
AH nice job BobaFiat, a bit of change up from boobie avatars!
maybe the people who payoff cramer to spout bullshit forgot to send him the check that week, and he started speaking the truth to remind them they need to pay up
Cramer is a bull shitter, but so is Geithner
Geithner = democrat = asset inflator = bank risk subsidizer
A fucking FOOT is a "nice change from boobies"? You're fucking sick man... Is that your "favorite lady" in your avatar?
Just fucking with you... But picking a foot over boobies...
No stranger than the shit I jerk off to.
Just classing up the joint a little.
clearly doing Orwell one better ("If you want a picture of the future, imagine a boot stamping on a face--forever.") I suppose it depends on whose foot is in the boot, and what the boot is. And let's not forget Yossarian's tent mate paying his whore to hit him over the head with her high heels.
LOL, good to have a laugh in the morning.
I'm an ass man myself.
The Foot avatar is appropriate. Jim Cramer has a foot fettish.
I dunno. He's a buffoon but I always thought he provided half way decent (or at least as good as any other jerkoff on TV) explanaitions of market dynamics, though in a limited and self serving way.
I have figured it out. Cramer has a truth lag of 3 years. If he says buy then you make a note of the time and buy 3 years hence. He is a visionary a person who looks into the future.
Seems about right.
A lot of his picks seem to be former high flyers or positions him(or his sponsors) could be stuck in, and need someone, somewhere to buy so they can unload.
It can sometimes take a while for them to fully unload.
Hard to believe this is what it has come to. The Secretary of the Treasury of the United States of America yucking it up on tv with the slimiest of all stock promoters. Sheesh, this is supposed to inspire confidence?
SD1... Nothing tops this Jim Cramer video ... Cramer being interviewed by Aaron Task and explaining, in detail, how he manipulated the markets as a hedge fund manager... video about 10 minutes run time...
"In light of the current economic crisis, and with the hullabaloo ignited recently by Jon Stewart over the accuracy of CNBC's reporting, we thought it might be useful to revisit this shocking 2006 interview Jim Cramer gave to TheStreet.com's Aaron Task. In it, the host of Mad Money says he regularly manipulated the market when he ran his hedge fund. He calls it "a fun game, and it's a lucrative game." He suggests all hedge fund managers do the same. "No one else in the world would ever admit that, but I could care. I am not going to say it on TV," he quips in the video."

Looks like they're paying attention and had the video pulled down over "copyright" - don't get me started on that one...
Surrealisme is to DADA as Cramer and Geithner is to ADD. Benihana chefs in training wokking up Key Words. All the language projects in many grand directions pretending to an infinity of conclusions, some of which can be thought of as borderline plausible. Ah, but then the granularity ensues. I like Santelli's "microphone speeches" rather unlike the private club conversation. You are on-tape for all time; off-camera is just a temporary focussing issue.
Now if Timmy sat down with Jimmy Chanos for a no-holds-barred debate off camera exclusive, that would be a Pay-Per-View match.
Wierd - looked like they were best of friends just now on TV..
Send Cramer a free couple million bucks, does wonders for his attitude toward Timmay.
I turned on cnbc as usual for 30 minutes or so before the markets open, saw timmaayy and cramer and immediately went to Bloomberg, at least Betty speaks in full sentences. She does try. Am I the only one that cannot stand cramer at 6AM, babbling total bullshit. I mean it is early on the West coast and what makes them think this is acceptable programming?
Betty Liu does indeed speak in full sentences.
but_____some____one____should_______speed____up__her___
Tele__prom___pter
Do you suppose the producer who named Betty's show "In The Loop" was aware of her tendency to drop the last letter of the last word in a sentence when it's a consonant.
Betty Liu is a disgusting pig face!!
Now that is just a dumb comment. Given the chance, you know you would bang her.
There is always another way of looking at things. Thanks, JM, for opening my eyes.
Has anyone besides me noticed that Betty has been a little tipsy on screen? Booze or pills?
I agree. I cannot take him in the Morning. He talks so fast and is so hiped up. Kind of like he is still on a Drug High from the night before. Especially, when you first wake up. It is like trying to watch Richard Simmons all hiped up and doing jumping jacks before you even have your coffee.
At least with Mad Money you can turn it off. Yet, you do not want to miss the news in the Morning and now have to be subjected to this jumping jack clown. The only thing he is missing is a big round red nose and a multi colored wig.
how could anyone be worse than mark haynes (may he R.I.P)? But he is... (cramer)
Pot calling the kettle black
Jim Cramer ? Ah, THAT Jim Cramer -- Of course ! The Jim Cramer with the SEC subpoena ( addressed to Jim ) in his hand.
http://media.nowpublic.net/images//3e/c/3ec810cde52e7383ece5d8b6bbd91ae4...
they probably sucked each other off-camera
Is this how they're going to get the 5% corporate repatriation shoved down our throats?
'This makes me sick.' Indeed.
This video was before the .gov made Jim and thestreet.com an offer he couldn't refuse. Amazing how once he joined the cheerleading squad the SEC investigation just...disappeared.
A very said state of affairs ..... I turned to watch sponge Bob.
Jim Cramer just a shameless whore on a shameless whore network for govt robbery.
Even a broken clock is right twice a day, etc. etc.
Good grief, MSNBC/CNBC/CNN/FOX is one epic conga line of clown fail. Really? Cramer interviewing Geithner?
The pathetic thing is that there are people out there who are watching this tripe and consider it something to take serious. No wonder we are fucked as a nation.
But hey, all of the CNBC clowns have backdrops that say "Discovering Alpha" and thats a real important event to be at in NYC so we should take them all seriously. Not...
Morons..
GEITHNER SAYS EUROPE IN THREE YEARS WILL BE `ABSOLUTELY ALIVE
Yes. Alive and well with the plebes slaving in the salt mines for their Chinese overlords...
Same deal here, 300 million people, most underemployed at best and bankrupt, about half or 150 million live ONLY due to a handout from the govt to sit home and eat...in this world how long is THAT REALLY going to last??
A year, tops?
We'll be lucky to squeeze a year or two before the riots commence. By then, Commisar Obama will be pushing Stimulus II 3.0, to rebuild yet more schools, to be paid for taxes on everyone's 401(k) plans, which will be difficult because most 401(k) plans are dwindling.
"IT'S ALIVE ! IN THE NAME OF GOD, IT'S ALIVE !"

lol cramer.
Geithner, head of NY Fed in charge of Wall Street oversight from 2003-2007: "I'm a fiscal hawk and I'm a big hawk on bank capital."
http://www.wcvarones.com/2011/09/timmy-tax-cheats-alternate-reality.html
The clown is now being interviewed by David Faber and just said, "I am more confident because this is the sort of deal that get's worked out at the club where someone steps up and says, 'Come on, guys. We can't let this happen.'"
Cronyism will save the world! Hallelujah! /sarc
CNBC can be useful if you mute the audio and watch the faces of the people speaking. Especially when it comes to Geithner, the facial tells are dead giveaways on when he knows he's bluffing on a busted hand.
barliman
Meeting in the golf club locker room will surely save us ALL!
" Especially when it comes to Geithner, the facial tells are dead giveaways on when he knows he's bluffing on a busted hand."
You can also tell when timmmmay is lying....... His lips are moving.
Geithner needs to get out more and stop spending so much time at the Club. These Bohemians, they are like High School kids in a cafeteria.
I wonder who told Cramer to say this? He couldn't have possibly come up with this correct assessment on his own.
LOL. When has Cramer ever been right? The only people more consistenly wrong are Bill Kristol and Abby Joseph Cohen.
except for my decision to accept Goldman's offer in 1953...
- AJC
corruption, treason, sedition-eminent qualifications for government "service".
Who cares what Geithner says!!!! It's what he does that's dangerous!!!!
flag as wisedom (1)
If it was not for people like Timmy doing a brilliant job then the death of America would not be going so well to plan , who here is not making lots of money from the death of America (got gold/silver)
Problem with Obama's whole adminstrations.
LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY.
THey should just toss Dodd Frank right now. Not worth the paper it is written on.
TBTF4EVR is official policy. That is all that matters.
Geithner as a protege of Robert Rubin will leave Treasury and get millions in the private sector, for being part of the fraternity.
People get the government they deserve, and they got Geithner.
I actually used to like cramer, then he became delusional and went off the deep end, now he is showing a glimps of sanity...but why?
Precisely, something wicked this way comes.
Santelli just disemboweled Geithner with the comment, "He's saying this new and improved Tide (stimulus) will give you whiter whites. If that was true, I think members of both parties would support because they want REAL jobs created."
barliman
He did announce a new big totally perfect absolutly right on Obama Policy coming out next week again...oh boy I can't wait....another speech maybe...this time in front of the MTV crowd maybe...oh I don´t know....he is such a GOD
Hey, Cramer was right for once!
I just wet my pants...no..no...its a little more solid than that.....oops
sharted? I hate when that happens
Love your avatar!
Oh crap. If ZH and cramer are on the same page then how can I trust either. The markets will rally today for sure on this.
lol
Boy, after this morning alone, John Stewart's Daily Show writers must have more material than they know what to do with.
Cramer makes the right call 50 percent of the time.
Hey Cramer!
Get your nose out of Geithners Ass!
Grab hold of yourself man, you must resist the Bernank, Barama and Geethner farts.
America, please explain ?
Out of the U.S last night, the federal budget balance was released.
This measures the difference between the federal government’s income and expenses in August.
The U.S Department of the Treasury announced a budget deficit of $134.2 billion.
That’s over US$1.2 trillion over the past 12 months.
Incredibly, this is approximately US$3.8 billion worth of expenses for each American in just one year.
US$3.8 billion for each American in just one year, that is 10.4 million worth of expenses per day for each American over one year.
what the fuck ???
Your maths is way out
1.2 trillion / 300 million = $4,000 each
> It was him who said
? It was he who said
but, but ,but. he just said on cnbc that little timmie has earned his respect because the tarp program and the stress testing worked here in amerika.......
Wow, is that really creamer's mouth?
Wow! Cramer got one! Boo-Ya, Jimmy! Now, time to fellate Timmy, Jimmy!
I do not know why they let him stay on the air. He has so many conflicts of interest. With his Ownership in the Street.com and all of the people there that trade Stocks for a living.
Plus, his so called Chairitable Trust. I just wonder how much of that so called Trust goes to Chairity and how much he skimms out to pay himself to manage it. He should have to divest himself of the Street.com and his Chairtable Trust to stay on the Air.
Why does Comcast and GE allow him to be a commentator when he has conflicts of interest. All of the other Commentators cannot own Stocks. So, why is he an exception?
Now they have him on in the morning to pump his stocks, on in the afternoon on stop trading and then an hour on Mad Money. CNBC has almost become the Market Pump By Cramer, instead of a News Show.
Everyone should write to Comcast and get him off the Air.
That's pretty old school thinking there...
If every TV person with a conflict of interest had to stay off the air, who would be left?
If every politician with a conflict of interest had to recuse themselves who would be left?
If Cramer told Geinter to buy Bear Stearns - do you think he would?
geitner is bad because he let lehman brothers go?
what is this some kind of joke?
why in fuck is a video of jim fucking cramer on zerohedge. it is not only NOISE but offensive NOISE>
KEEP THIS SHIT OFF HERE.
Geitner is a Fucking circus midget!
Okay Cramer, you got this right. BUT, you should be FIRED too pal, didn't you recommend Bear Stearns less than a week before it shut down? Ah you did. And what is CNBC but a repository of blow-hard buffoons mega-phoning a scripted narrative that has its own agenda. gietner is a fraud that much is true jimmy but so are you and all of your useful idiots at cnbc.
I seem to recall that Mr. Cramer was gunning for the job in a silly PR/ego driven manner, and acted like a whipped, depressed teen on one of his shows when it became obvious that his manic tendencies probably would not look so good on the world stage. I suspect he was lashing out at Geithner because he was jealous, not because he was a grand predictor of Timmay's capabilitiy (although that's speculation on my part).
While much derision is given about Timmay's talking up the positives, that's part of the job. Certainly wouldn't do for him to come out and give an "Eyore speech," he must do the "Pooh positive" on Europe with his pending visit.
Think about it. You don't get invited to dinner at a friend's house then criticize the cook at you walk into the door... Or do you? Hmmmm.
He should have let all the bankers fall not just L. Bros. At least Ohio gained a great governor, (if you are a white collar mobster)
Geithner On Getting Fired: "I've Been Hoping For Sometime"
http://www.realclearpolitics.com/video/2011/09/14/geithner_on_getting_fired_ive_been_hoping_for_sometime.html
Cramer is an Idiot, I dont know why anyone listens to him, except to get a laugh.
