Thanks, Matt.
Pile on. Pile on. Pile on.
This guy will pull the stop picking on me bit in 3 - 2 - 1.
Just blow past and keep showing his on video elitist arrogance over and over and over.
Stick it to the Dems
You might be interested in a quote from Gruber. (2013)

“I think it would be a real substantive mistake to do the Landrieu bill,” says MIT health economist Jon Gruber, a supporter of the Affordable Care Act.
“I don’t feel I know.” Jon Gruber agrees. “I don’t know how much higher premiums go,” he sighs. “I really don’t.”
This was the keep-me-in-the-Senate political cover bill by Landrieu. Essentially the same thing Obama fix that Barry proposed and Gruber was talking about in an interview as “political cover”.

time index 23:15 - Gruber comments about a “time bomb” of costs rising to 17% of income
It wasn't confusion but allusion. Gruber is sitting there pontificating about 'stupid Americans' whom he views as equivalent to Goober Pyle, himself doing something INCREDIBLY stupid, namely admitting his perfidy on camera. Gruber is the idiot here. Equating the two was the joke, effectively a pun-in-picture.
Apparently you missed it.
Nowhere in the article do I see mention of the fact that this guy got $400 million in taxpayer money to help develop the bill, while at the same time the administration had him out speaking about it - make that shilling - as an independent analyst helping the public to better “understand” it - this is fraudulent and the good doctor should go to jail.....

I, of course got it. I was being ironic. Sometimes that doesn’t carry through these threads. I thought your picture of Goober Pyle was hilarious. I was just going along for the ride.
He also thinks Scott Brown is an idiot and Gruber is a bit confused as to how the vote went down in the Senate.
Well, and then there was a man named Scott Brown.
And that was a real stressful point. So basically, the night before Christmas it passes the Senate. The House had already passed their version, which was even more to the left. We’re like, “This is great.” I went on vacation with my family. We celebrated. This is the greatest thing in the world. We’re so excited, you know, and my wife said, “Are you sure, Jon?” I said, “Look, unless someone dies or somehow some Republican wins in Massachusetts, we’re fine.”
Well, lo and behold, we had a pretty awful candidate for Senate who didn’t know the Red Sox from the Blue Sox, and Scott Brown wins. And now we’ve got a problem because now we can’t get back to 60 votes in the Senate. ...
Now you’ve got a problem. And this is where Obama showed his leader[ship]. I mean, this is I think one of the incredibly proud moments, which is at that point a lot of people said: “Well, good try. But you know what? Salvage the things people like, and cut and run, because the truth is, you just can’t get this done. Look at those town halls. It is so unpopular. You just can’t do it.”
And, you know, someone used to say to me, it’s sort of ironic that if you look at John F. Kennedy’s book called Profiles in Courage, they were all about times politicians didn’t listen to the public and did what was right, not what political expediency would say. And this was a profile in courage. I mean, he basically said: “You know, look, this is the right thing to do. We are going to do it. I’m going to fight for it.” ...

1. In a way, I feel sorry for MIT professor Gruber, because he will be sweating and losing a lot of sleep over the next 6 plus months as he waits to find out if the Supreme Court will save his arrogant ass or cook it, as it decides for or against Obama's government claim that it was an honest "typo" mistake.
2. Think about this: Do you realize that hundreds of federal bureaucrats studied every word, every comma over and over to make sure that the law said exactly what Gruber and Obama people wanted it to say?
3. "Typo" error: But now Gtuber and other Obama people are crying all over the place----like at the Supreme Court--- because they want people to believe their excuse that their "Typo" error and draft error was simply an honest mistake: They really meant to use the word "federal" where only the word "state" is written. Honest mistake my ass. They knew exactly what they were writing.
4. Imagine this about MIT Professor Gruber:
5. A Gruber student at MIT is called into his office to discuss his term paper.
6. Professor Gruber says he has some troubling questions about the paper.
7. The student tries to defend himself by saying that the "mistakes" were "typo" errors and it was a poor draft done by one of his friends who tried to help him.
8. What do you think Professor Gruber's reaction will be after he listens to all the student's excuses?
9. I tell you what arrogant Gruber will say: "Sorry son, but I don't believe you. You had plenty of time to work on you paper and correct mistakes."
10."So your grade is a big 'F'. I hope this is a lesson to you to be more careful the next time you write a paper here at prestigious MIT."
Thank you, this was his petri dish to experiment with the entirety of The America Citizen Healthcare. Why doesn’t he experiment with his kids or his families. Leave the rest of u alone with plans many moons better, cheaper than their plan. some people have worked for specific companies to get those benefits he wants to take away or Cadillac tax it.
“Look, if this succeeds, then Obama becomes F.D.R. This is the most important social policy accomplishment since the 1960s. And if this succeeds, this could be the kind of benefit to the Democratic Party that Social Security was. So if I was the Republicans, I’d be screaming and kicking and scratching to kill it too, on purely political grounds,” he said.
He also said, “On politics, this is your Waterloo. You’ve got to fight this tooth and nail. And so they’re fighting it tooth and nail. It’s not just the mandate, they’re
picking on everything.”
thank you. this guy never stops talking. the gift that keeps on giving.
I liked Lester Gruber more.
Thanks. Thanks very much.
That dweeb looks like he needs a healthy throat punch...
.... hundreds of federal bureaucrats studied every word, every comma over and over to make sure that the law said exactly what Grüber and Obama people wanted it to say ....
Same hundreds that spent longer developing and reviewing Lenin um Hitler am I mean “Obama” care’s software that the 42 months from December 7 1941 America spent winning World War Two?
Grüber alles is just the tip of the fascist Leftard iceberg.
