(Oct 11, 2011) Newly obtained White House records provide fresh details on how senior Obama administration officials used Mitt Romneys landmark health-care law in Massachusetts as a model for the new federal law, including recruiting some of Romneys own health care advisers and experts to help craft the act now derided by Republicans as Obamacare.
The White House wanted to lean a lot on what wed done in Massachusetts, said Jon Gruber, an MIT economist who advised the Romney administration on health care and who attended five meetings at the Obama White House in 2009, including the meeting with the president.
In addition to Obama himself, the meetings attended by Gruber were presided over by the presidents chief economic adviser, Lawrence Summers, then budget director Peter Orzag and Nancy-Ann DeParle, the presidents chief adviser on health care, the records show. Gruber was also given a $380,000 contract by the Obama administration in 2009 to work with Congress on drafting a new federal law based on the Massachusetts law, records show.

This should at least flush the Romney 2016 terd down the toilet.
ditto.
This is would be what, the 6-year old newz?
At least the latter is truthy.
Actual conservatives knew this during the 2012 primaries. But the GOP-E got their man, the only Republican in the United States who couldn’t run against Obamacare.
Crap, just read the date.
It is still relevant.
Thanks to the GOPe we had the only candidate who could not attack Obama at his weakest point (RomneyObamaCare) because Romney was it’s intellectual father.
See tagline.
His supporters sure fought this truth for the last 8 years or so.
There were a lot of Freepers demanding Obamacare.
They insisted that those who voted third party instead of Romney or Obama really wanted Obama. There isn’t a way to do that UNLESS they think socialized medicine isn’t worth opposing and it doesn’t matter whether one is part of implementing it or not.
Attacking those who oppose it is supporting it.
Robamaney Care is a product of Gruber.
This was known and discussed here pre primary 2007.
Why do they think Romney lost?
Yay, one GOPe candidate down. Next up, Crispy Creme.

I doubt it. The liberal Republican hierarchy will try to force Romney on us once again. I don't know if they're gluttons for punishment or they have some secret deal with the Dems to ensure another Democrat becomes president. It will be up to us to see to it a conservative wins — with or without the Republican party.
Gruber, just like Willard thinks 47% of us are stupid
And Romney’s job was to deceive all real Americans, and to LOSE to obamaumao. His job is NOT to run again. You are done, Romney. Get. the. hell. lost.
And whoever in the GOPe engineered this candidacy with Ryan- intended to LOSE also. The Statists in the RINO party.
Only after the debate progressed did a consensus emerge that the mandate is an infringement on individual liberty and free markets and is something we all oppose.
