Jonathan Gruber was the man behind Obamacare, according to a former adviser to President Barack Obama.
The problem is not that Gruber helped them put Obamacare together, because he was the man, Steve Rattner, who worked as Obamas lead adviser in 2009 for the Presidential Task Force on the Auto Industry, said Tuesday on MSNBCs Morning Joe.
The problem is what he said in the last two weeks and how the White House has handled it, Rattner added.
Rattner said his influence was enormous.
Jonathan Gruber was, back in the day in 2009, the guru on health care, said Rattner, who was known as the car czar when he worked in the administration. I remember that when I was in the White House, he was certainly viewed as an important figure in helping to put Obamacare together.

Theres no way out of this one.

This “story” definitely has legs. The MSM will attempt to find some other emerging news stories to use as a smokescreen but Obamacare is a monumental PR disaster that just won’t go away. And everytime another problem pops up so will Gruber’s name and his arrogant insults.
This is the story that will keep on giving for a long time to come. This “smoking gun” is one of those rare political gifts that come along now and then that are easy for the public to understand. Its a nightmare for Dems.
Exactly.
I think they won’t be able to avoid covering this.
Obama is now a detriment to the liberal power brokers. The POS is in trouble.
Lamestream media is hoping for riots in Ferguson the next few days to get Gruber off the “front page” so they WON’T have to cover it. As Nobama stated to protestors in Ferguson “Stay the Course” while no one knows exactly what he means.
You’re right.
Just some guy in the neighborhood...
You must be thinking of this guy:

Bttt.
“No, I really dont think Gruber is a fall guy.
This whole Gruber thing just happened, thats all. It was unplanned, unforeseen and it is a nightmare for Obama and the demcrats.”
Here’s hoping!
Without the info getting to that 47% who only watch the in the tank news notwerks, if any news at all, it is hard to think there will be any justice or that shrinking a bloated bureaucracy may never be an option.

Funny thing about liars—and this includes the liars who cover for liars—is the more they lie the more blind they are to truth. They don’t see their own stupidity.
Eventually, every single lie falls first and foremost upon the head of the liar himself.
