A Government of Grubers
Bill O'Reilly ^ | November 20, 2014 | Staff

Posted on 11/20/2014 4:28:14 PM PST by Bettyprob

Jonathan Gruber let it slip. He thinks you're pretty much a moron. And, being a moron, you couldn't possibly understand legislation as complex and important as the Affordable Care Act. Actually, Gruber didn't merely let it slip - he repeatedly called Americans idiots, in the process affirming his own vastly superior intelligence.

And he obviously is a pretty smart guy. It's not easy getting into MIT and then earning a Harvard Ph.D. in economics. All his life Gruber was certainly told he was brilliant, destined for great things. But Gruber, blessed with a high IQ, was cursed by possessing not a smidgen of humility or common sense.

And so, over the past week, Americans have watched Jonathan Gruber, PhD go from Democratic star and savant to the man no one has ever heard of. Of course, if you rely on network news for your information, right about now you're scratching your head, asking, "Jonathan who?" But that's another story, one we'll leave to Bernie Goldberg and Howie Kurtz.

Do you think Jonathan Gruber is the only government big shot with a very low opinion of the American people? Or is he the one who happened to be the most in need of attention and got caught strutting and preening on camera?

Considering that Michelle and Barack are both products of Harvard I’m not so sure that he had to be very smart at all to “earn” a Harvard PhD. The liberals who raved about Obama being a Harvard graduate conveniently forgot that George W. Bush to whom they had referred as being every kind of stupid known to man held a Harvard Master’s degree in business.

Do you know how many Grubers there are in the government?

Gruber looks as if he has eaten more but both look like they belong in a vampire movie.
