Recap of Jim Cramer's radio show on Monday October 9. Click on a stock ticker for more analysis:

Hey Big Spenders: Kohl's (KSS), Target (TGT), Darden (DRI), Nordstrom (JWN) - Rumors of the death of the consumer are wildly exaggerated and according to Cramer the war in Iraq, heating costs and the decline in housing have not affected discretionary spending. Cramer says he sees evidence of this in the long lines and KSS and TGT, the fact that there is hardly a seat available at the Olive Garden (DRI) and that Nordstrom is "hitting the cover off the ball."

Google (GOOG) Tube - Cramer notes that although companies usually decline in value when they make acquisitions, "only Google can buy YouTube and not get hurt." Although Yahoo (YHOO), Viacom (VIA) and CBS (CBS) could have purchased YouTube, Yahoo's management did not seem involved, and Viacom and CBS sites "do not have the infrastructure or traffic to drive people," Cramer says.

Bullish calls:

Adobe Systems (ADBE): Cramer believes that this stock is undervalued and that Adobe is going higher because it is has "a lot of sophisticated new stuff" in the pipeline.
Scientific Games (SGMS): This is a good stock says Cramer because it is the world's top online lottery company.
Research In Motion (RIMM): Cramer regrets shorting this stock and believes that it will go up 20 points. He would even pick it up at its 52-week high of nearly $113.
