He knew the American people were being lied to and he was all on board. He and all the others that deceived the American people can rot.

He regrets getting caught but that’s a pretty standard belief among progressive academics.

Its no different than Cass Sunstein saying that all Americans have a little Homer Simpson in them that can be manipulated and used.

He would be in jail if he worked in a corporation and did this.

He regrets having been caught on tape making those statements.

He has not apologized for calling you stupid.

He has not retracted his belief that you are stupid.

He continues to believe effectively lying to get 0bamacare passed was the right thing to do.

The only thing he regrets is getting caught telling the truth.

It’s one thing to say he regrets his choice of words. It’s entirely another that he meant them anyway.
