During a Brookings Institution panel in April 2006, then-Sen. Barack Obama claimed he had “stolen” ideas from a gang of liberal economists and academics, including the now-infamous Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber.
“You have already drawn some of the brightest minds from academia and policy circles, many of them I have stolen ideas from liberally,” Obama said. “People ranging from Robert Gordon to Austan Goolsbee; Jon Gruber; my dear friend, Jim Wallis here, who can inform what are sometimes dry policy debates with a prophetic voice.”
Despite Obama’s attempt to distance himself and his unpopular signature health care legislation from Gruber, it is clear that 2006 Obama never anticipated videos of his once-trusted adviser calling American voters ‘stupid’ would surface in 2014.

Glad, you are the MadMax Thank you.
Bttt!!!
Wallis sounds like a Father Phleger-type of minister.
Phleger is a raving maniac, in-your-face, and a black-wanna-be.
Wallis is smoother, smarter, sleazier, and more dangerous since he not only had the ear of the Clintons and Obamas, but many of the leftwing segments of major Christian organized church organizations.
“I think they are vicious committed statists who, given the necessary executive order, would begin to line us up and shoot us down.”
As Edmund Burke wrote, “There is no safety for honest men except by believing all possible evil of evil men.”
