0bama had no idea what he was reading...

We are living through either an extended Twilight Zone episode, or an extended Saturday Night Live skit. I'm just not sure which one.

Well, that makes perfect sense. [/sarc]

I wonder how Mr. Beckel disregards the Frontline/NPR video concerning Prof. Gruber's 2006 meeting with then-Senator Obama in the Senator's congressional office to discuss healthcare economics, before then-Senator Obama announced his candidacy for President of the United States?

Is Gruber sitting on the stage as Obama speaks? I can't tell if one of the men is Gruber or not. Thanks.

“You have already drawn some of the brightest minds from academia and policy circles, many of them I have stolen ideas from liberally, 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...etc”

I’m amazed at Beckel’s idiocy. He also said, that he believes that the Ferguson cop purposely killed the black man....

Virtually everyone on this forum knew that Obama was a sociopathic liar. I think it’s clear also that the cover up on the man’s birth place is blatant and out there if anyone wishes to go after it....

Sometimes I wonder if he is an idiot, or just an evil SOB propagandist for the left who knows the truth but continues to bully and lie just to advance the left agenda..

But what really gets me is that he has a bedroom of his own at Hannity’s house; Lives there about half time, and Hannity’s kids call him “Uncle Bob”... I had already lost most of my respect for Hannity by then, but lost the last of it listening to the episode of his radio show when he revealed that, and continued to gush for about ten minutes about how wonderful a person Beckel was.

Ann Coulter talks about this in one of her book. Conservatives are gracious, quick to compromise... The libs rarely return the complements. For them its win it all.

We need to do the right thing. No compromise...nothing short of defeating this left agenda completely.

Beckel is totally wrong. THe left had their day, just like the Carter years. I have friends who voted for Obama thinking the guy was someone else.

The man, Obama, is a liar and his agenda is nothing more than end, where the means mean nothing. The whole persona has been fictionalized. The man is an imposter.

Obama Flashback: ‘I’ve stolen ideas’ from Jonathan Gruber ‘liberally’

http://www.cnn.com/2014/11/18/politics/obama-2006-praised-gruber/

Obama praised Jonathan Gruber in 2006

Morning Joe Bashes Obama for Gruber Response: ‘White House Thinks People Are Stupid

Tuesday morning on Morning Joe the entire panel expressed bafflement that despite evidence of President Barack Obama and MIT professor Jonathan Gruber‘s intellectual relationship, the former attempted to dismiss the latter as just “some adviser” when asked about Gruber’s controversial comments.

Over the past ten days, multiple videos have emerged of Gruber suggesting the Affordable Care Act only passed because of a “lack of transparency” and “the stupidity of the American voter.” By carefully disguising the health care mandate as something other than a tax, Gruber has repeatedly said, the public was more welcoming to the legislation.

The latest video to emerge in so-called “GruberGate” was a 2006 clip of then-Sen. Obama naming Gruber among a small group of academics from whom he liberally steals ideas. But when asked about Gruber on Sunday, the president said: “I just heard about this… The fact that the some adviser who never worked on our staff expressed an opinion that I completely disagree with in terms of the voters is no reflection on the process that was run.”

And because of that dismissive response, the Morning Joe crew went off this morning.

“Who Gruber? What Gruber? Where Gruber? Horton hears a Gruber? I don’t know a Gruber,” mocked Joe Scarborough. “How many times do we hear [from Obama], ‘I was just told about this scandal’?”
