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 Grubers 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 Grubers remarks prompting more than a few responses on social media. Here are a sampling as seen on Twitter:

>> DOES ANYONE BELIEVE HIM ,.. ANYMORE ??
Never did.
I never believed him, at any time.
Fixed it for ya.
Somehow his “history” tells me a lot different.
I think the guys on Red-Eye Radio portrayed things more accurately when they said that most people aren’t stupid, just willfully ignorant.
Gruber was just a guy from the neighborhood. He lived with Bill Ayers.
Well... was he involved in their conception?
Just axin'...
Brought to you by the "Hope and Change" folks !
What? Has he been drinking iced tea for six years, like AlGore?
Has anyone yet told our Emperor than he has no clothes?
Will he be taking the Tom Hanks role in the remaking of “Clueless in Seattle”?
Inquiring minds...really don’t give a hoot!
I smell a youtube series.
Something along the lines of the "Hitler Finds Out About..." series. I'll start it out:
Surprise! Hopelessly Out of Touch Obama Says He Just Heard About [Justice Department Giving Guns to Mexican Drug Cartels}
He doesn’t care at the least about all the confusion, discontent and destruction he has caused. Doesn’t phase him at all. Would love to cause more before he leaves.
You can’t get that stuff while on the golf course.
Only stupid people watch CNN and PMSNBC...if he would watch Fox, he wouldn’t have this problem.
We all would have shook in our shoes if we could have known, during the height of the Clinton contretemps, That a POTUS would come along who would make Clinton seem like a choirboy.
I just saw a tape from a 2006 of Obama at the Brookings Institute where he clearly mentions Gruber. David Axelrod is pissed because the Cat is out of the bag.
No, noone believes him. He is grubbering us. He assumes we are idiots and he as the idiots in the media, the useful idiots. He said he just learned of this and grubbering has been in the news for a week. Someone needs to get him a television and just put it on Fox news. No, the fact is they need a week to construct another feckless lie. He is sociopathological enough to tell the lie, then off camera go back behind the curtain and laugh his ass off.
