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.
