Cramer's Mad Money - Is the Obama Index Making the Grade? (2/20/09)

I'm not impressed with that artificial Obama index. Obama is certainly not one who is looking to benefit large corporations with top heavy exec comp. He is aiming to help more individuals and would hope his policies would favor companies with good employee policy track records and environmentally friendly firms. Small & medium stocks that develop through internal growth rather than constant acquisitions. His would look more like an SRI index not a balanced fund. Many of his index businesses would not even be publicly traded.
