On Mad Money last night, Cramer recommended Fuel Systems Solutions (Nasdaq: FSYS) as a play on Obama being "more friendly to natural gas than he appears." Cramer admitted that shares of Fuel Systems are down nearly 40% since the last time he touted the stock, but believes "this time is different".

Even though nat gas initiatives have largely been halted in the US, Cramer remains a believe in Fuel Systems' stock as countries in the European Union are still mandated to turn out 20% of new vehicles powered on nat gas by 2010. Cramer also likes that Fuel Systems receives about 77% of its sales from overseas markets.

From a valuation standpoint, Cramer says Fuel Systems looks attractive as it is currently trading at just 11.3x forward earnings, but the company is growing long-term earnings at almost twice that multiple.

Cramer warned that investors should not chase the stock however, implying that a pull back is probably needed before backing up the proverbial truck.

Shares of Fuel Systems may be seeing a slight "Cramer bounce" this morning; the stock is currently up 3.8% to $24.19.
