Politico Downplays Jonathan Gruber as Obamacare Architect

Stop it! Stop it right now! Please don't refer to Jonathan Gruber as an Obamacare architect. He actually had a relatively minor role in the Obamacare scheme of things.

Since Politico is now unable to ignore the Jonathan Gruber scandal as they tried to do earlier this week, they have switched gears to craft a story by Politico health reporter Paige Winfield Cunningham to portray him as  much less than an architect of Obamacare. Ironically, this same reporter as recently as July also referred to Gruber as an Obamacare architect. First let us check out Cunningham's attempt to downplay the role of Gruber in her article that tells you where it is coming from just by reading the title, New Obamacare furor: Was Jonathan Gruber the “architect”?

Well he pocketed $5.2 Millions for something.

Hey Politico thugs, keep up the Grubering about Herr Gruber being a nobody.

You can destroy yourself like the Grubering Rat Liars in Congress and the outhouse as they Gruber about Herr Gruber.

As fast as you Grubering about Gruber, it will be on the internet and around the nation and the world, showing that you are first class Grubers.

[Zathras]

Trust us. We lied to you before and last week but we are not lying now.
Truly they are not afraid of anyone.

[Moorings]

Got that everybody? Jonathan Gruber was a nobody. He was just a very tiny cog in the Obamacare herd. Or so they want you to believe.

Don't want those stupid voters to get a clue. The ministry of praise and propaganda- a.k.a. Politico, NBC, CBS, ABC, NYT, WaPo, need to cover up this momentary exposure of truth.

Thanks! We now have a photo of the Grubering faux reporter at Politico.

Gruber on Paige. When this is over you will have a hard time getting a job in a lesbian bathroom.

Minor roll for which he was paid $400,000? $4 million dollars all told. Gee, I wonder what the IMPORTANT people were paid by our tax dollars?

And to think the Washington Times gave her a gig before Politico. Granted she was sowing her oats just out of school, so I’ll give the Times a break. Maybe her lying Socialist tendencies hadn’t been fully developed yet.

For such a “minor” role he sure got paid a lot of money. On the tv last night it showed he made a cool 2 mill between the fed gov and the states he consulted with.

I think they’re finding that adults like to decide for themselves what is best for them.

It's been done before:

It will be done again.

Goober is to failed gooberment Health Care as Michael Mann is to Catastrophic Anthropogenic Gorebal Warning.

Neither of which has been defeated yet.

Both premises should have been laughed out of the room with not just a "No", but a "Hell No!", as it was when Herself! first pushed the idea of Hillarycare.

But they Commies learned their lesson from her failure, and found an "untouchable" to bear their phony torches and are in the process of burning down the village as a result.

[AEMILIUS PAULUS]

Gruber is "a gift that just keeps giving." This lying cheat has linked the clown in the White House to lies. The Gruber revelations are in the process of demonstrating the treacherously interlocking nature of America's left. The leftist machine is swarming to downplay "The Gruber." This leftist ploy is open for all to see. Gruber is a wonderful moment in American history in that he reveals leftist politics as lies.

Gruber is only one person ... 

They're just mad that Alinsky's rules are being used against them.

Snopes and Politico are probably already on a conference call working on how to spin this for Obama.
