OUCH! Remind me to never get on the bad side of Maria Bartiromo. After watching Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber wither during her incisive interview Tuesday on Fox News' Mornings With Maria one could almost feel sorry for the guy. Almost.
What riled up Bartiromo was Gruber's smug assertion of no job losses due to Obamacare despite Bartiromo citing business executives telling her the opposite. After Gruber brushed her off for supposedly relying on anecdotes rather than hard data, the fireworks began as we shall see.
(Excerpt) Read more at newsbusters.org ...
My favorite Gruber quote in that whole exchange, in response to Bartiromo’s factual statement that economic growth is at 2%: something to the effect that ‘we are seeing the highest economic growth we’ve seen in the past 8 years [that is, Obama’s entire tenure]’.
That’s like a baseball player hitting 0.218 saying “but that’s the best batting average I’ve had in the past eight years”. Gruber essentially admitted Obama’s been a total economic failure, and Bartiromo, as well as she was doing, should’ve jumped all over him for that. She could additionally have stated the average downturn in a recovery is one to two years, and here we are, eight years into Obamanomics, and we still can’t clear 2% growth!

Right click, “save-as”
Ohhhhh that’s a good one, better
Got it
What is she doing? Looking to see if the girls are still there?

Do you have the link to that one too?!!
THAT’S WHY THE DEMS LOST!!!! They listened to idiots like this guy instead of people who actually own businesses. He hasn’t got a clue.
I thought that massive Obamacare rate hikes announced just before the election was what put Trump over the top. For example, Minnesota was hit hard by Obamacare and almost went for Trump.
Of course you won’t hear the corporate media saying that because that would be criticizing their hero, President Zero.
Gruber says that the increase is the lowest in 8 years. Well yes, of course, ever since Obama became president and pushed this into law!!
Forgot where I got it but the link is: http://i.imgur.com/jrn6Yzs.gif
Thx! :)
Per the adage: figures don’t lie, but liars figure. (i.e. recognize only data that supports their conclusions)
Gruber was right that a lack of transparency is good for him.
But it’s because people aren’t stupid not because they are.

I SAW what you did there.
