He truthfully said that it was important to make the workings of Obamacare non transparent. But why? Who benefited? The answer becomes clearer later when Obama and other Democrat leaders were able to openly lie about keeping your doctor and health care plan. Few could refute them because not enough people knew what was in Obamacare. Palin sounded a warning and was immediately set upon by the boot lickers in the MSM. Betsy Mccaughey knew what was in it but the MSM couldn't have cared less. In addition to having the MSM run interference for him, it was critical to have Obama's base of "stupid voters," Union Leaders, and leftist college professors supporting him.
Now the Gruber tapes have surfaced, and in a few days, the truth about Obamacare has been exposed, and suddenly no one knows who Gruber is.
He was lying to provide cover for Obama and Democrat congressmen. And they were paying him to do it. Even Gruber is smart enough not to admit that.
Thus the subterfuge about “stupid voters”. The people were not in a position to voting Obamacare. There was no referendum on Obamacare. They knew the Republican congressmen were not voting for it.
Who are the “stupid voters”, then? Why, it was the Democrat congressmen who were on the fence and need to vote to pass the bill. They needed a nice story to explain why they voted for the monstrosity that is Obamacare.
