Dang, this Gruber guy gave the GOP a gift. I hope they take advantage of it.

The fact that a left leaning source would publish a piece so critical of the process if not the bill itself speaks volumes. Nobody likes to be fooled regardless of political leanings.

Wow. Even the Huffinton is piling on. This is great!

Too bad this news didn’t come out a month ago. The Republicans would have won Virginia and New Hampshire too!

I wouldn’t be surprised if Gruber drops out of the gene pool sometime over the next few months.

It’s pretty darn bad for Obama when the Huffington Post is complaining about White House lies.

Obamacare should be repealed based on this revelation alone as it was sold on false pretenses... to those who actually fell for the thing.

CORRECTED:

the lack of disclosure on the part of the White House, the Senate, the DNC and other Democratic leaders who distributed Gruber's work -AND- the liberal aka Palace media who distributed all those parties' propaganda

"How the White House Used Gruber's Work to Create Appearance of Broad Consensus"

"BROAD CONSENSUS."

Where have I seen that expression used before?

Gruber says the American people are stupid and had to be lied to in order for Obamacare to be passed.
If I remember corectly that 60% of the American people didn’t want Obamacare, the other 40% didn’t care and just wanted free stuff. It was the Senate Democrats that voted for Obamacare! Remember, the idiot Pelosi that said they must pass it so that they would know what was in it. I guess Gruber was right. Dems were the stupid ones!

Huffpo published this in 2010, and they did an update in 2011. Did they follow up after that or did the WH shut them up?

It is interesting that this is still available on their website. Soon to be scrubbed?

Wow. Good article.

From the article:

On December 28, Gruber published an Op-Ed in the Washington Post -- in which he neglected to mention his contract to consult with the White House on this very issue. He was asked point-blank if he had any contracts related to the piece for which he was being paid, and he said "no." The Post subsequently published a correction.

This dude is an habitual liar!

Gruber articles have now appeared in the WaPo, NYT, Politico and Huffpo.

This means that the rest of American Pravda (ABCNNBCBSNYTLATWP) have permission to cover it.
