Phil Kerpen tweeted out this advice last week:
Yeah, he wasn't making his contempt for voters much of a secret. RT @kerpen: Guys stop trying to number Gruber clips. I've seen hundreds.

We may already have gotten to the point where numbers have run past their usefulness in identifying Jonathan Gruber’s serial revelations. We may need to start naming them instead as we struggle to keep up with his arrogant bragging. For instance, we missed this little gem that emerged on Friday, where the MIT professor brags that RomneyCare was set up — with the assistance of Ted Kennedy, of course — to “rip off” the federal government to the tune of $400 million a year:
Bob Schieffer also played this clip on CBS’ Face the Nation while declaring himself “dumbstruck” by Gruber’s string of insults and arrogance. Schieffer wonders why Gruber doesn’t give the money back:
Why shouldn’t Gruber keep the money? He did what he was paid to do — pull the wool over everyone’s eyes. Barack Obama’s administration hired him for that purpose after his track record in Massachusetts. Schieffer should be asking Obama and his team why they’re still drawing a salary from the American taxpayer after their contempt for, and lies to, the American people. And the answer will be the same: shamelessness.
Gruber: The gift that keeps on giving.

EXCERPT:
“We had a pretty powerful senator you may have heard of named Ted Kennedy,” Gruber said during an event at Simmons College in February. ”Ted Kennedy had managed to figure out a way to rip off the federal Medicaid program to the tune of about $500 million a year through a series of strange manipulations.
“Here was Mitt Romney’s dirty little secret that we don’t like to talk about in Massachusetts, which is the way we passed our law is the federal government paid for it.
“George Bush said why am I sending this Democrat $500 million a year, I’m taking it back,” Gruber explained, adding “Mitt Romney to his credit went to George Bush and said, look, can we keep the money if we use it for universal coverage. And Bush to his credit said yes.”

So 0bama is a fraud and a liar. No surprise there.
So was Romney.
Remember this the next time leftists tell you Romney/Obamcare in Massachusetts has been "successful."
From Wiki:
Gruber is a German surname from Bavaria, referring to a person from a pit, mine or depression. It is the most common surname in Austria.
IOW, He’s the lowest of the low.........................
Tax Dollars are paid by taxpayers from across the country.
So, it follows directly that Kennedy was stealing from the American taxpayer .
That's us.
This is where our money goes and why so much of it gets wasted
Revenge of the Nerds. This guy deserves an HCl swirly.
He has been interviewed so many times, his immortal words have been recorded in video and print in too many sources for Obama to debunk them all.
Gruber called it Ted Kennedy’s ‘400 million dollar Slush Fund’ which paid back hospitals that were in the RED due to unpaid bills. He said the big secret of Romeycare was that the Federal Govt. paid for it. Translation for Obamabots, “other people” paid for it.
They just ‘redirected the slush fund’. Gruber has stated multiple times that Obamacare would FAIL without the mandate and without those that won the ‘genetic lottery’ or young people, forced to pay. Those that had Employer paid benefits or those that were RICH, had ‘gamed the insurance’ (benefited) at the expense of those that had to buy it on their own or couldn’t afford it. Also those that were ‘rich with insurance, had too many procedures. Govt. research that is paid for by Obamacare will determine the success rating of procedures and then will determine which procedures for the individual are Warranted. If that is not a takeover of the Industry and Individual Freedom, I’m Michelle Obama (and I’m not).
As usual though, those who are Obamabots don’t care and those that are part of the 47% don’t care and get their “news” from the Comedy Channel, social media, reality TV, MSNBC, CNN, the alphabets, myBarackObama.com, etc. won’t hear or read about any of this. The chance that the few that “think” won’t be informed.
RE: Kennedy was stealing from the American taxpayer .
Should one speak so disrespectfully of the dead?... /s
Just as Köchel numbered all of Mozart' works, we are going to need someone to come up with an official numbering sequence for Gruber's videos so we know which is video #6.
Government is criminal enterprise writ large. Nobody should be shocked or even the least bit surprised at any of this.
The IRS should send a demand letter to the secretary of state of Mass and tell them to recoup the money, with interest payments and give it back to the other 49 states it ripped off. Then the party responsible, if not dead, should be arrested and tried in tax court.
The only ones being ripped off are “We The People” and if any one of us did this we would be in jail.
6 Grubergate videos so far make Nixon’s little missing tape minutes look like a sniffle in preschool.

There is also a there is a PBS video of Gruber saying he worked with Obama himself in the Oval office:
Remember zero Republicans in Congress voted for ObozoCare. Every stupid rat in Congress voted for it without reading the bill or caring what was in it.
RE: Gruber bragging about how stupid American voters are/were to pass ObozoCare.
The American people didn’t. The Democrat controlled Congress did, without a single Republican vote.
