On July 8, 2009, Jim Cramer on ''Mad Money'' again graded the performance of Obama's administration and economic policies against the performance of the stock market. He commented, "The same force that so hurt the markets this [[winter]] has yet again reared its ugly head: the [[White House|White House’s]] anti-business rhetoric. [...] Investors don’t seem to trust President Obama to create jobs and stimulate the economy, not when he prioritizes [[global warming|climate change]] and [[ObamaCare|health care]]." Moreover, the ''Mad Money Obama Accountability Index'' score had dropped to 96.1 from its starting point of 100.<ref>[http://www.cnbc.com/id/31802202/site/14081545 Cramer: Obama Hurting the Economy], CNBC, July 8, 2009.</ref> He urged Obama to postpone his agenda in favor of boosting the economy. "Without more job creation," Cramer said, "the president’s agenda and his tone will continue to slowly and inexorably squeeze the life out of this stock market."<ref>Rush Limbaugh.
