I'm trying to think about another time in my life that I've ever had that experience. Anyway, he made my mind up. I was going, not to Bain, but to Goldman. That's why I had no problem when I was on "Chris Matthews Show" recently and called him perhaps the best businessman in the country. It was personal experience. Now, the quote's been enshrined in the businessman's ad, caused me some grief, and I must add amusement, because I didn't mean it as an endorsement for anyone for president. I just meant to tell the truth about his rigor, acumen and ability.

My job is to make you money. So why am I interviewing a presidential candidate, never done before on CRAMERICA here? Because sometimes it's not what's happening on Wall Street but what's happening on Pennsylvania Avenue or the road to it that could make you MAD MONEY! So it's with great privilege I bring on the only man who has ever stumped me about business, Governor Mitt Romney.

Governor, good to have you on MAD MONEY.

Governor MITT ROMNEY: Thank you, Cramer. Good to be with you after all these years. And now it's your turn to interview me rather than my time to interview you.

CRAMER: Oh, I don't know. I'm still a tad intimidated because I just know--it really was funny. It was in a class that you came, that you interviewed me, and it was one of those things where everyone wanted to be at your company, including myself. I just didn't know that you would actually have to be kind of pretty brilliant about business and I was just very impressed with what you were doing, and I still am now, to play my cards openly.

Let me ask you something. You're running as a business president. I've seen something--I do this college tour, and I've seen something that's pretty amazing about it. The people in their 20s and their 30s in this country, now revere business, respect what business people do, and I think are inclined to want to talk openly about making money and I think would embrace a candidate like you because you've made a lot of money. Are you seeing the same thing on your campaign trail?

Gov. ROMNEY: You know, I do think people want to have individuals who are not lifelong politicians, but folks who know how to solve tough problems. And you know, if you've been in the consulting world or the investment world, you learn how to look at a tough situation, get people to come together, analyze it, take it apart to figure out the right direction. And frankly, our country needs to have some smart people with private sector experience, business experience, to look at the problems we have here and around the world and solve them, to get the job done. We're tired of all the talk, we want to get somebody who can get the job done.
