Jim Cramer's ballooning ego now approaching the size of Rush Limbaugh's

March 05, 2009 3:48 pm ET by Eric Boehlert

We knew Cramer lived to hear himself talk, but this is getting ridiculous. Borrowing a page from Limbaugh, Cramer has penned a tedious open letter to the White House where he, in part, fantasizes that he's on the Obama Enemies List. Why? Because Cramer's name was brought up by a reporter at a White House press briefing this week.

That apparently signaled to Cramer that he needed to write more about himself under the guise of writing about the administration and the stock market.

-Number of times Cramer refers to "Obama" in open letter to White House: 9.

-Number of times Cramer refers to himself in open letter to White House: 43.

It reminds me of a passage from the recent Esquire profile of Cramer:

Because the only subject more fascinating to Jim Cramer than the stock market is, naturally, Jim Cramer.

      Despite his screaming, I use to respect some of Cramer's opinions, I don't anymore. He is not helping to get us on the right track with the economy. Yes, his ego is out of control!

      Hey, Buffet is an advisor to Obaama. Just the other day, Mr B wrote in his report to his shareholders that the US economy is in "shambles".

      For me, Cramer is calling it right, while the One does nothing to really help the economy and the poeple that are sinking.

      Cramer to replace Timmie Gee, eh?!

      Oh no! Kramer fell out of love with Obama??????

      "And CNBC's antic market commentator Jim Cramer, who backed Obama last year and said John McCain would mean a depression, now accuses Obama of 'the greatest wealth-destruction I've ever seen by a President.'"

      Well, I think I have to agree with the ex Obama supporter!  We have lots o' room over here to join us folks...Come on downnnn!

      Last year he was saying, "Buy, Buy, Buy".  Now y'alls feelings are hurt cause he dumped all of his Obama stock, huh?  

      THAT is REALLY funny.
