Perhaps proving he does believe we are stupid, President Obama said he “just heard about” the controversy swirling around Jonathan Gruber, who is widely seen as the architect of Obamacare.
A number of videos have surfaced of Gruber saying the Obama administration relied on the “stupidity of the American voter” to pass the Affordable Care Act.
During a news conference Saturday in Brisbane, Australia, Fox News White House correspondent Ed Henry referenced Gruber and asked the president if he misled Americans to pass the health care law.
“No. I did not,” Obama said. “I just heard about this — I get well briefed before I come out here.”
Taking a cue from House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, he dismissed Gruber as “some adviser who never worked on our staff,” and said he disagreed with Gruber’s assessment. Showing there are few limits to his chutzpah, Obama then reminded uninsured Americans the second phase of open enrollment of Obamacare is now underway.
Video of Obama saying he just heard about Gruber’s remarks prompting more than a few responses on social media. Here are a sampling as seen on Twitter:

You don't get to be president for two terms without stupid American voters (and considerable voter fraud, as well.)
He must be watching Fox News, they are about the only ones reporting it more that a minute.
NOT ONLY NO, BUT HELL NO!
I wonder when he will find out that he and Michelle have two daughters?
A politician is free to consider the American public a lumping mass of epic stupid.
He is not, however, permitted to flat-out lie to them in order to force higher taxes and unpopular laws down their throats.
It’s kind of like shooting a bad driver. He might deserve it, but it’s still a criminal act.
“Democrats. Guber-level stupid since, like, 2009.®”
Obama has been close with this guy since Jan.2009.
Obama is NOT out of touch.
HE’S LYING THROUGH HIS TEETH (as usual).
Obama just read about it in the paper - sheesh, the guy’s a serial liar.
One thing for sure, he didn’t learn about it from the MSM who have refused to report this smokong gun story.
Gruber has bragged on multiple occasions that Obama was present and deferred to him, Gruber, on setting up the law to be deceptive.
Especially if that politician is Obama and the lumping mass of epic stupid is an American public that would elect someone like him.
His lying ass. He knew all along. Does anybody out there actually believe him anymore when he feigns ignorance?
bttt
I would actually be shocked if he wasn’t lying, any time he speaks.
Obama only knows his Golf game timings , nothing else
Ya. Just the stupid voters. Mostly Democrats.
