Jonathan Gruber’s “stupid” comments have sent the Obama White House into a spin.
When this White House gets under fire, it naturally turns to the press outlets that it has used as tools for years, including Josh Marshall’s Talking Points Memo.
The name ought to give that site away: It’s not about facts, it’s about spin. Talking points.
So the under-fire Obama White House turns to the talking pointers to deliver some talking points on Gruber’s “stupid” remarks.
The Obama White House now also suggests that Gruber wasn’t really the Obamacare architect.
An administration official also noted to TPM that — while Gruber is often described as an “architect” of Obamacare because he was a key consultant to the administration and was heavily involved in developing the Massachusetts health reform law that served as a starting point for the ACA — “he did not work in the White House or play the same role in developing the Affordable Care Act.”
About that. They’re lying, again.
Gruber had a total of about $400,000 in contracts with the Obama White House in 2009 and 2010 to provide “Technical Assistance in Evaluating Options for National Healthcare Reform.” Gruber had previously designed Romneycare in Massachusetts. He was brought in to design a similar system by the Obama White House after it took power.
That’s all according to a January 2010 ABC News story. According to that story, Gruber wasn’t disclosing his monetary relationship with the Obama administration while he was offering public comments and editorials supporting Obamacare, until some leftwing bloggers sniffed his relation out and reported it. The mainstream media followed.
So yes, he was the architect of Obamacare. The Obama White House still thinks that its supporters are too stupid to figure that out.
So, Romney is the real architect of 0DontCare?
Actually, go back to Hillary’s proposal which appears to be the same as Obamacare
A lot of Americans and some freepers have amnesia when it comes to this documented ObamaCare history in Congress!
Every single democrat senator and every single democrat congressit voted to make Obamacare the law without reading nor understanding what they voted for.
Every single Republican in Congress voted against this Obamacare.
So the very stupid rats in congress own ObamaCare as per their highly paid Herr Gruber‘s You Tube comments.
Drone, meet Mr. Gruber. Mr. Gruber, drone.
A paraphrase of an Upton Sinclair quote would seem to be appropriate: "...It is difficult to get a man to understand something when his salary intellectual honesty, sanity and self-image depends upon his not understanding it..."
Describes the inherent double-think necessary for liberalism to exist.
It is a longstanding tradition among Marxist dictators.
Note to the Obama Administration: Toothpaste, once it is out of the tube, is very difficult to get back in.
Stuff like this happened all the time before but with today’s media, libs and progressive can’t get away with it anymore.. They don’t know how to respond because MSM always protected them ...
This is a flat out lie.

Jason Furman: Principal Deputy Director National Economic Council, Economic Policy Director for Obama for America.
Avra Siegel: National Economic Council
| In addition to Obama himself, the meetings attended by Gruber were presided over by the president’s chief economic adviser, Lawrence Summers, then budget director Peter Orzag and Nancy-Ann DeParle, the president’s chief adviser on health care, the records show. link |
So, the government paid Gruber $400,000 for nothing? Is that what they’re telling us?
He’s fake,,, but accurate..
One of the many architects is on the Supreme Court. While the Democrats ruled the Senate she could defend this with impunity. We shall see how not recusing herself flies when Harry Reid is no longer majority leader. I am thinking Ted Cruz will make it an issue that can't be ignored nor simply weathered.
Stalin and Yezhov
Has Gruber been removed from photos with Obama yet?
Freepers, this is why we can't seem to make the electorate loyal to us. They aren't getting the facts. If they have the facts, most Americans ARE smart enough to know best how to plan and live their own lives.
I'd paste the quote on Americans being stupid on every billboard from sea to shining sea.
ROFLMAO!
Gruber met with Obama, at Obama’s request in 2006, BEFORE Barry had announced his candidacy for President. The meeting was, (gasp) about “healthcare”.
