BRISBANE, Australia — President Barack Obama denied Sunday that his signature health care reform law was deceptively marketed, rejecting statements by a consultant on the plan who said aspects of Obamacare were designed to take advantage of the “stupidity” of voters.

“The fact that an adviser who was never on our staff expressed an opinion that I completely disagree with in terms of the voters is not a reflection on the actual process that was run,” Obama declared at a press conference here, speaking for the first time about the comments by MIT economist Jonathan Gruber.When the president was asked whether he had intentionally misled the public in order to get the law passed, he replied: “No. I did not.”

Obama said the notion that any provisions in the bill were hidden is absurd given the intensity of news coverage of the subject when the bill was being drafted and debated in Congress.

Shameless, bald-faced liar.

Clinton was impeached for less.

Obamacare is all about the federal government making decisions on behalf of Americans because -- as Gruber and his liberal brethren would argue -- the stupid people are unable or unwilling to make the choices that elites believe advance the social good.

Obama, and these hate-filled deranged fiends, would have us live our lives as they see fit.

The preening, duplicitous Gruber---the embodiment of cockamamie far-left thinking---apparently believes it’s his moral duty to lie, deceive and collude w/ the US govt......so that these revolting ideas can be imposed on us "sub-mental defectives' taking up valuable space in their Utopian America.

===================================================

Obama and the Democratic lock-steppers flat-out invented mechanisms
in Obamacare to serve Marxist Obama's dreams of wealth transfer:

(1) throwing Americans off affordable health plans,

(2) nationalizing 1/6 of the US economy,

3) installing IPAB's (healthcare rationing,

(4) decimating intergenerational transfers of wealth (grandma/pa's holdings go to the govt---not to Americans),

(5) pulling $750 billion out of Medicare,

(6) drug-rationing---death panels,

(8) abandoning seniors and the chronically ill,

(9) forcing healthy young Americans to subsidize healthcare for the elderly.

============================================================

CONNECTING THE DOTS---The salient point is this: Gruber acting as an independent researcher is one thing---but Gruber consorting w/ many people in govt figuring out ways to lie in order to to dupe the tax-paying public is a CONSPIRACY.

POINTS TO PONDER: (1) WH sign-in sheets show Gruber went there at least nineteen times. (2) Gruber, himself, talked about Obama being in the room when the Cadillac tax was invented. (3) Based on his Obamacare experiences, Gruber took tax dollars from several states to set up Obamacare exchanges....and earned millions of dollars doing so. (4) Nancy Pelosi is on-tape citing Gruber as a source. (5) Gruber was there when Hillarycare was developed. (6) Another Gruber confession involved a conspiracy w/ Teddy Kennedy to rip-off Medicare to finance Romneycare.

Shameless, bald-faced liar.

aka a sociopath.

[GeronL]

You have to pass it to find out what is in it.

What is that called?

[MUDDOG]

newly ascendant Republicans... try to frustrate the president’s agenda on issues ranging from health care to climate change to immigration

Obama is violating the Constitution to implement his agenda.

[Grampa Dave]

Herr Obozo is grubering Americans again about his GruberObamaCare.

[BipolarBob]

He didn’t mislead, he flat out lied. Maybe that’s what he’s saying.

[W.]

The lie:
When the president was asked whether he had intentionally misled the public in order to get the law passed, he replied: “No. I did not.”

The unspoken truth:
"I hired that out."

[DungeonMaster]

Next step, one child per family and we’ll have to wear those hats like the Chinese.

[skeeter]

Every once and awhile you run across someone who will try to lie their way out of a lie even when caught dead to rights. They know all they need to do is generate that 1% doubt.

I think they call people like this sociopaths.

[Paladin2]

Certainly no mis-lading, pure gruberbation the whole way.

[Farmer Dean]

If a family member lied and lied about important family matters,we’d disown them.
That’s what the country needs to do with this dirtbag.

[oldtech]

The notion that Obama is a leader is absurd.

Obama is insane. Nuttier than a fruitcake.

That's too simple. He represents an entire subculture in its dependence on urban legend as a core philosophy. It would be like calling a Jivaro tribesman insane. An insane individual would be a problem that could be fixed. This is a rogue wave of cultural devolution that threatens to wreck us all.
