The first rule of being a con artist is to skip town without anyone ever realizing that you were indeed, a con artist. The guy is so pleased with his con job, that he can’t help blabbing about it.

It makes me nervous that so many of these videos are coming from CNN. A distraction of something else about to happen, like amnesty?

Strange, these tapes were not circulated before. Somehow, I have a feeling that tapes of Mr. Gruber bragging about deceiving and insulting the public are leading up to something even worse. We are being fed these stories like breadcrumbs, or like those beheading videos from ISIS that began airing last summer and have ‘suddenly stopped’ airing.

Now that this clown’s comments and videos are appearing everywhere he will suffer a horrible fate. He will be ignored and ostracized by his fellow liberals. To be ignored by his own kind is a fate that is worse for Gruber than anything the GOP could do to him.

Published on Jul 25, 2014

Voters got to know Jonathan Gruber in 2012 when the Obama campaign put the health care policy wonk forward to shut down ObamaCare attacks from Republican nominee Mitt Romney. President Obama was so eager to play up Gruber’s role as a chief architect of ObamaCare because Gruber had been a chief architect of Romney’s state-level health law. Elevating Gruber allowed the campaign to deliver his lines with greater crack: “The core of the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare and what we did in Massachusetts are identical," says Gruber in one campaign ad. While Gruber may have helped neuter Romney’s ObamaCare attacks, he may end up helping to neuter the law itself thanks to a video unearthed by free-market think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute.

Gruber, an MIT professor who has become a Democratic health care talking head, also gets paid for talking to industry groups about ObamaCare. In one 2012 speech, Gruber talked about the provision in the law that has state governments administer enrollments, including subsidies. “I think what’s important to remember politically about this is if you’re a state and you don’t set up an exchange, that means your citizens don’t get their tax credits,” said Gruber, a MIT professor, in a speech two years ago. Why is that problematic? Because it directly contradicts what the administration argued in court about a lawsuit that could be “devastating” to ObamaCare because it would end the subsidies paid to enrollees in the states that did not voluntarily comply.

The preferred talking point for pro-administration groups has been to dismiss the subsidy gap as a clerical error, not an intentional policy. It goes like this: Congress meant to provide a way to work around non-compliant states, but didn’t get the wording right. It was, in the words of one administration insider deployed to knock down the court decision, a typo. And who was that insider? You guessed it: Jonathan Gruber. This matters not because it is an embarrassing deception for an academic to be caught in, but because it suggests the falsity of the administration’s claim that this was a glitch and not a feature. The administration was eager to highlight Gruber’s role in order to shame Romney, making it hard now to suggest that he was some peripheral figure. Whether this matters in the expected Supreme Court decision is a matter for the legal eagles to consider, but from a messaging point of view this is a Krakatoa-sized eruption.

The plan pretty plainly was to do on subsidies what the administration has tried to do on Medicaid expansion: pressure governors who do not comply and create talking points for Democratic candidates. It’s just that so many states refused to set up their own ObamaCare shops, including those with supportive governors. The rest of the actual glitches in the law and technology made even some liberal governors opt out and kick the can back to Washington. If the White House can’t argue publicly that this is some silly technicality it goes straight to the heart of the main problem with ObamaCare and voters: they don’t think it works.

The Lear Jet Leftists expect to form the core of the global Green Inner Party. They will continue to enjoy the finest foods and most advanced gadgets the world has to offer — while deciding your fate for you.

If you work very hard and show them your unwavering loyalty you may be permitted to join the global Green Outer Party. You will be allowed occasional servings of meat - and air conditioning on a rationed basis.

The rest of us will eat insects and swelter – for the good of the planet.

Liberals don’t disagree with what Gruber is saying. They’re mad because the fool was stupid enough to say it in public. This weasel looks like someone who would be bragging about his accomplishments to everyone so expect a tidal wave of Gruber videos.

Wouldn’t that be considered conspiracy with Obama in the White

House meeting to commit fraud against the American people.

Couple observations...if MIT has an ethics class, will Gruber teach it or will MIT provost fire Gruber? Greater chance of him teaching it.

Need to space out releasing the vids...he needs to do a couple days apart each so the media can’t recover.

Then again, we’re doing clive-piven in reverse by overwhelming the system!
