Obama Nat Gas Endorsement a ‘Game Changer’

Web Editor, Mad Money

Cramer on Wednesday finally heard President Obama endorse natural gas in a way he’d never done before, mentioning what the Mad Money host sees as a viable alternative to crude oil in the same breath as nuclear energy.
“It’s a major game changer,” Cramer said during Stop Trading!.
Cramer has been talking up nat gas as a cleaner, cheaper, more plentiful fuel source that would help wean the US off its addiction to foreign oil, but his calls have gone largely unheard in Washington, specifically at the White House. That President Obama included natural gas in his speech today at Carnegie Mellon, in Pittsburgh, within the boundaries of the Marcellus Shale, is “big,” Cramer said.
He credited the president’s nod to nat gas for boosting futures prices, as well as the stocks like Southwestern Energy [SWN

Turning to tech, Cramer reiterated his buy call on Yahoo! [YHOO

“People want the iPhone,” Cramer said.
