On Wednesday, Jim Cramer outlined what President-elect Barack Obama has to do to fix the struggling economy. The first step is to help the ailing auto industry and buy huge chunks of shares in General Motors (GM), Ford (F) and Chrysler (C). Second, Obama should solve the country’s energy independence problem by relying on the U.S.’s reserves of natural gas. Finally, Cramer said the country must fix the housing crisis by buying 1.3 million homes in the hardest hit areas of the country.
