Obamacare Architect Gruber: I Regret Calling American People ‘Stupid’
Daily Caller ^ | 11/11/14 | Patrick Howley

Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber said Tuesday that he regrets saying that aspects of Obamacare needed to be concealed from the public due to the “stupidity of the American voter.” “Do you stand by the comments in that video?,” MSNBC host Ronan Farrow asked Gruber, referring to a video of Gruber explaining how a lack of transparency helped Obamacare pass into law. “The comments in the video were made at an academic conference,” Gruber said. “I was speaking off the cuff and I basically spoke inappropriately and I regret having made those comments.” Farrow then argued on Gruber’s behalf that

He first met Barry, in 2006 to discuss Obamacare, before Barry had announced he was running. I thought THAT tidbet was interesting.

He's a true believer... anything beyond that?

Obamacare Architect Gruber: I Regret Calling American People ‘Stupid’

"I specially regret getting caught.

"So, excuse me for doubling down and assuming that you, the American Public, are further too stupid to realize that the fraud was deliberate, well planned over a long period, and goes all the way to the corrupt top.

"At best to Valerie Jarrett; at worst, all the way to the top!"

He only regrets getting caught.
He would be in jail if he worked in a corporation and did this.

It would a multiple-count felony!
It also qualifies as the most celebrated RICO crime to date. If it is prosecuted. Assuming that elected and appointed officials are not immune to the criminal laws that apply to everyone else.

I have been screaming that ever since that criminal b***h Nancy Pelosi strutted around the Capitol with that ridiculous giant gavel.

Translation:

Mister Gruber regrets being recorded off-the-cuff, and he still thinkgs that we are stupid and that his actions were acceptable.

Regretfully, this alleged human is a condescending, aristocratic, academic fungus.

“I’m frustrated that the future of the American health care system rests in the hands of one or two of these unelected people who might make the decision based on political grounds,” Gruber, an M.I.T. professor, told me in a phone interview on Monday, a few hours after the Supreme Court granted a writ of certiorari to hear challenges to the Affordable Care Act. “It’s very disturbing.”

Another megalomaniacal psychopath.
He'd rather that the decision be made by one unelected criminal, himself, should prevail. A decision based on, well, delusional extreme megalomania.
And then there's the $400,000 that he made for creating the "non-partisan" extreme fraud.

Done deal. Now if SCOTUS takes offense at what is before them now they can completely eradicate the whole damn thing.

You continue to underestimate the b***s these people have; all of them.

It would not surprise me to see the RICO criminals (and the First Megalomaniac) to argue that, since the Supreme Court itself has been made to look like complete chumps, and as stupid as everyone else, that they should all recuse themselves for conflict of interest ( redeeming their trashed dignity.)

Real title should be "I regret being caught telling the truth about my feelings to my fellow Elitists!"

I’ve given this some more thought. Wonder if there is a NEW MARVEL character based on the “superhero of Obamacare”, Jonathan Gruber! Can’t wait for the action figure.

"a rare expression of candor."

The "stupid voter" stuff isn't rare, there's several videos that have surfaced lately showing dem operatives repeating it. And I'm very certain it's not a rare moment for Gruber. Guys like that are chatterboxes, always speaking well before they engage their brains. I bet there's a ton of deeply damaging info out there about this guy.

Also, if the voters are so stupid why must they lie and resort to backroom deals?

They would not be emboldened if we took real action and they are punished.
This is where our side falls down very badly.
Public policy and law should not be allowed to be created in fraud.
Deliberate deception should bring long jail terms, better yet execution.
This guy has caused prople to lose coverage and die.
