Cramer's 'Mad Money' Recap: Stick With Skechers

Cramer noted that people in their 20s and 30s appear to respect business. He asked how this shift bore on the presidential election.

"People want individuals who are not lifelong politicians," Romney said. He believes that the country needs leaders with private-sector experience, people who can get the job done.

George W. Bush ran as a CEO president, Cramer said, but that turned out to be more of a slogan than a reality.

Romney said that he and Bush have "different histories." Romney came from the investing world, ran the Olympic games, and served as governor of Massachusetts for four hears. Pointing to his credentials, he said, "If you're going to run something, it's helpful to have run something before."

When asked about the stock market's poor performance over the past five years, Romney said that as a businessman he didn't worry about the market overall, but "which companies were going to be successful."

Romney is more concerned with overspending in Washington and overuse of oil. He believes that the federal government needs to work alongside private enterprise to bridge the gap to other energy sources, including nuclear power. "If we get on a track to become energy efficient ... that's going to have an impact on the prices of oil" and benefit the country.
