Well, if you parse what he said, he's correct....
Gruber was not on his staff...he was a paid adviser...
Obama doesn't think Americans are stupid, he doesn't care what American think at all...
The process was completely political as everything is with this administration...
Whereas Obama disagrees with Gruber’s characterization of Americans (likely a lie), he implicitly agrees with Gruber regarding the ‘transparency’ needed to ram Obamacare through Congress!
