BRISBANE, Australia President Barack Obama denied Sunday that his signature health care reform law was deceptively marketed, rejecting statements by a consultant on the plan who said aspects of Obamacare were designed to take advantage of the stupidity of voters.
The fact that an adviser who was never on our staff expressed an opinion that I completely disagree with in terms of the voters is not a reflection on the actual process that was run, Obama declared at a press conference here, speaking for the first time about the comments by MIT economist Jonathan Gruber.

I seem to recall one of their leaders saying that "we need to pass the bill to see what is in it"
OMG! Quick! Call 911! the president’s PANTS are on FIRE!!!!!!!!!
Gruber: Politically, you just literally cannot do transparent financing, transparent spending. I mean, this bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If the CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. So it was written to do that.
Obama: (11/16/14) “And I think its fair to say there was not a provision in the healthcare law that was not extensively debated and was fully transparent.
Brilliant!
WE FLAT OUT LIED!
What about the doctor I wanted to keep?
What about the plan I wanted to keep?
Where is the $2500 in annual savings?
Why am I paying for things my religion prohibits?
Keep lying, Kenyan Klownie.
How about “if you like you doctor you can keep your doctor”, or “if you like your health plan you can keep your health plan”.
Liars lie.
It’s your signature LIE.
It’s what they do. You are right about that.
If Obie backpedals any faster, he’s going to fall off the bike.
Except for his most rabid, and clueless, followers, the average citizen knows now he lied.
Springtime for Obama!
As soon as he became President, Obama changed his mind. Looks like Gruber got his way on non transparency.
The normally mild mannered Brian Lamb of CSPAN was quite angry over the failed promise.
The cock crows; the Jackass lies.
OH YES, YOU DID.
Obama had to mislead because it had nothing to do with healthcare ,it’s all about CONTROL
