During a Brookings Institution panel in April 2006, then-Sen. Barack Obama claimed he had “stolen” ideas from a gang of liberal economists and academics, including the now-infamous Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber.
“You have already drawn some of the brightest minds from academia and policy circles, many of them I have stolen ideas from liberally,” Obama said. “People ranging from Robert Gordon to Austan Goolsbee; Jon Gruber; my dear friend, Jim Wallis here, who can inform what are sometimes dry policy debates with a prophetic voice.”
Despite Obama’s attempt to distance himself and his unpopular signature health care legislation from Gruber, it is clear that 2006 Obama never anticipated videos of his once-trusted adviser calling American voters ‘stupid’ would surface in 2014.

Disrespecting and laughing at the American public first and foremost.
I don’t think Gruber’s his “dear friend” anymore, unless that great big Michael Corleone smooch on the lips doesn’t mean what I think it means.
This is great. Obamacare is at all-time lows on Gallup, and now we have more proof that not only did Obama lie about Gruber regarding 2010, but the association goes back before his Presidency.
Obama lied about EVERYTHING
Gruber Who? ~ Obama in Asia recently....
No wonder Barry wants to regulate the interwebs. It always busts his phony stories.
“The fact that an adviser who was never on our staff expressed an opinion that I completely disagree with in terms of the voters is not a reflection on the actual process that was run,” Obama told reporters
According to Gruber, in his own words, the fraud part of it was 0bama's idea not his.
SMOKING GUN! Gruber Admits Obama Was in Room During Planning of Cadillac Lie
Honestly. What a bunch of a-holes. It’s not even that I disagree vehemently on their policies; they’re just insufferable jerks.
It’s humorous how the Left Elitists are mocking the “stupid” voters that supported their nefarious designs.
Really, do liberals even believe this clown anymore? It's no wonder we've become a laughingstock and Putin's flying long range bombers off the Gulf of Mexico again.
Under the bus, Mr. Gruber, my dear friend.
If Reagan had tried 1/100th of what this nut job and his administration have tried, he would have been strung up.
The media short-circuits what should take place when Obama does these things.
And as you say, they are jerks. IMO their policies are bad. Their people make Nixon’s “crooks” look like saints. And as you state, they just come off as aloof jerks.
Never forget. This travesty was passed on a one-party vote in the dead of night on Christmas Eve. So, the dopes who were played for chumps are not conservatives. Small consolation.
And yet those stupid people will never even grasp the connection.
Once upon a time, a man was as good as his word in America. It was the way of things with neighbors and business dealings.
Once upon a time, a friendly smile meant sincerity, and a hearty wave was common among neighbors passing by.
I am sure he did—I bet he didn’t thing Gruber was so stupid that he said so in public! He never thought Gruber’s Huberis was so great he was above the Law—Needs to go to Jail and his money taken away.
Obama in Australia called Gruber “some adviser”
I did not have healthcare relations with that man, Mr. Gruber.
“Jon Gruber, my dear friend.”
The mind boggles. ..
Notice he says “Jon”, not “Jonathan” , not “Professor Gruber”, not “Mr. Gruber of MIT”.
And this is from 2006, eight years ago.
Yeah, he did not know him....spit.
