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

I love it! He was clearly talking about Democrats because he knew they were the ones that supported the law. Another words he was talking about the people of MS NBC.

I don’t know why Gruber regrets it. He was just being honest. When Barry told us that we had to pass Obamacare to see what was in it, he was being upfront that the American people are too stupid to make their own decisions and that only geniuses like him, Gruber and Zeke Emmanuel were qualified to secretly re-distribute everyone’s bank accounts. These guys should be serving time and doing so proudly.

Being a democrat is the easiest job in the world. They can come right out and call their voters morons and their voters will happily prove them to be correct.

But in private, he is probably singing as Edith Piaf did—

Does this mean Ronan Sinatra Farrow has actually made a positive contribution to life as we know it?

"The comments in the video were made at an academic conference, I was speaking off the cuff and I basically spoke inappropriately."

Translation for stupid American voters [Manifestly true, since a majority elected a Democrat Congress and a Democrat President who made his dreams possible:]

"I was with all the smart people and did not realize my intellectual inferiors would hear my comments."

Please do notice that

Prof Gruber can’t see the irony of his actions.

“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.”

They forgot, “BECAUSE I GOT CAUGHT”.

BTW - Liberals have no concept of how they are nothing more than Useful Idiots. They think Obama and Company are laughing at Conservatives, while the truth of the matter is that they are laughing at the Liberals they fooled into supporting them.

I agree. Ed Schlitz, Rachel Madcow, and Reverend Al the Fink have the combined IQ of the Democratic Party symbol so Mr. Gruber wasn’t exactly wrong in his statement.
