Jim Cramer: "This bill is dead"
On MSNBC a few minutes ago - he's convinced that stock market performance over the past few weeks indicates Obama will not get anything meaningful done on health insurance reform. "It's dead!". Chuckie Todd openly laughed at him.

Cramer's the guy who said there was nothing wrong in the financial industry just before the meltdown.

The bill is going to pass. Jim Cramer is working on his Bill Kristol mojo at being wrong about everything.

23. Cramer and Kristol have nothing on Dick Morris.
Now excuse me while I continue to commiserate on the Republican upset in the 2006 Congressional elections and reminisce about the Hillary Clinton- Condi Rice 2008 Presidential election.

7. If that bill is dead, which it isn't, then fine, we'll pass H.R. 676. How would you like them apples

10. What struck me about that segment was how gleeful Cramer was.
It doesn't matter people are dying every day we don't have health care reform.

11. You can bet the farm it will pass, then.
Cramer- the guy whose stock picks are wrong 2/3 of the time. If you take that paid shill's advice on financial matters, you're broke.

19. AWESOME! Cramer is 100% wrong on his stock picks as well...
You can bet anytime he says anything, the complete opposite holds true. There is actually a fund in his name that makes trades based on the opposite of what he says. It does quite well.

27. Crammer's poor prognostication record not withstanding, what was his point?
How did he link up insurers stock prices to whether a bill would pass or not?
