Chris Matthews and Jim Kramer on the economy and the G20 in London

I do not know if anyone watched Chris Mathews speak with Jim Kramer from Mad Money about the economy and the G20 in London. They were basically saying that it is possible that the worst of the financial crisis and recession is behind us and that we are starting to turn the corner. They also said that we have a long way to go however the worst is over. At least that is what I took from the interview. How does everyone feel about this?
