Daily Caller ^ | November 12, 2014 | Chuck Ross

A third video has surfaced of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber bragging about pulling the wool over the eyes of the American public in order to help implement Obamacare.

“It’s a very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter,” Gruber, an economist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said during a speech at the University of Rhode Island in November 2012.

He was discussing what is known as the Cadillac tax and how it came into being.

He’s a litigator’s dream — a co-conspirator who runs his mouth.

The only ones that were likely fooled by the Obamacare program were the ones that were easily fooled by everything else this administration has pushed. Thinking that they fooled the bulk of the educated conservative American voters is a mistake on their part.

Certainly cause for legal action... How about RICCO action listing members of Congress, Obama and Gruber as conspirators. I’d also add Justice Roberts to the list too as perhaps unidicted coconspirator

He sounds like the out-of-it nerdy kid from high school who now talks too much trying to show how with-it he is now.

Perhaps trusting is a better word.

Those of us who were paying attention knew how bad this would be, but a lot of Americans still trusted their government and the media that had always portrayed themselves as unbiased watchdogs (after all, they had control of the mike so who could contradict them).

These “unbiased” watchdogs were, as you know, were in fact paid shills for the Progressive movement and the Obama regime could count on them to provide cover.

I’m sure these revelations will enlighten some of those trusting Americans as to the level of contempt that their self-annointed “betters” have for them.

I also hope they can connect the dots and come to realize how they have been betrayed by the MSM, the ones that promised to pay attention on our behalf while we have been working to keep the country running.

Is there a way to leave voicemails for Roberts? I am serious. I have no confidence he will be made aware of these videos.

I would add referring Pelosi and Reid to ethics committees with the intent to expel them both.

Economic understanding? Most people couldn't name The Speaker of The House. However, most COULD tell you who got kicked off the Survivor Island last week.

As a disgraced American he should consider the honorable Japanese tradition as a way out of this mess he has created.

What a Gruber!

It is encouraging that Fox News was the channel most watched during last Tuesday's election night--and Fox has been all over the goober Gruber and the "irony of his arrogance" that Trey Gowdy spoke of last night on Megyn Kelly' show. And Kelly herself could not hide her utter contempt and disgust for Gruber's arrogance.

Fox News is not exactly the public communication's branch of the "Tea Party"--and should not be. BUT, they certainly are the MOST "fair and balanced" TV news station out there, and for that we should be thankful.
