What a week this has been for Jonathan Gruber, as a deluge of videos have illustrated his many varied public comments on the deceptions of Obamacare. Here’s an excellent supercut from Phil Kerpen of the various comments from political supporters of Obamacare denying Gruber’s existence and relevance to the creation of Obamacare.

----------- ----------

Even as a handful of officials admit Gruber’s critical role in creating Obamacare’s framework and more, some on the left are still trying to deny his various manic and stupefying statements admitting his role in creating the legislation’s smoke and mirrors structure. It’s hard for this role to be diminished when we have records of how often he was visiting the White House at the time. But people are trying to do it anyway.

-------------------- ---------------

For a random adviser, Gruber sure spent a lot of time hanging out in Obama's highly restricted neighborhood.

How long will the MSM ignore the fact that 0bola claimed not to know about Gruber, and yet these white house visitors logs show Gruber visited numerous times. For Easter egg rolls?

But then again, wishful thinking...

HOORAY Ben Domenech!

DEFUND/DISMANTLE socialist collectives, foreign and domestic including their CBO (CONgre$$ional Bullcrap Office).

BIG GOVERNMENT IS CRONY SOCIALISM

http://www.usa.gov/directory/federal/

http://www.cbo.gov

He has erected a multitude of New Offices, and sent hither swarms of Officers to harrass our people, and eat out their substance.

Big government socialism is unsustainable. Nearly 18 trillion reasons why...

Socialism Is Legal Plunder

You would use the law to oppose socialism? But it is upon the law that socialism itself relies. Socialists desire to practice legal plunder, not illegal plunder. Socialists, like all other monopolists, desire to make the law their own weapon. And when once the law is on the side of socialism, how can it be used against socialism? For when plunder is abetted by the law, it does not fear your courts, your gendarmes, and your prisons. Rather, it may call upon them for help.

Where is the gruber pajama boy hanging out right now? Is he still teaching courses at MIT? Is he hiding in a friendly country like North Korea?
You would think that if this guy is walking around, someone would get in his face to ask him a few questions or maybe a TP group would protest outside his house.

Not a single Republican senator or Congressman voted in favor of that monstrosity called Obamacare. It must be make perfectly clear that democrat Phd com man Gruber, called stupid not all the American voters, but just the democrat voters that put the “Liar in Chief” in the White House, in spite of his Marxist anti-American back ground, and all the Democrats legislators co-conspirators with the president and the MSM in the greatest deception against the American people in the history of the United States.

According to Obama, the MTI professor, a frequent visitor to the White House, was just a ”random” adviser. For his “invaluable advise and services” to the Obama administration professor Gruber received over 5.9 million dollars... Stupidity and corruption to the nth power.

Excellent point. The Rats would scream, but couldn’t stop reform at CBO and it would have major benefits for our side. End the static scoring and the automatically assumed budget increases. Have Paul Ryan make a floor speech showing how the old system didn’t project the future as well as the new system would have. I’m not saying Ryan because I support him for higher office, but because he understands this minutia and can explain it in terms non-wonks can follow better than anyone else on our team. And he can out debate anyone on their team about it. Post his talk on YouTube. Once CBO is fixed have it rescore ObamaCare and a whole bunch of other lib boondoggles. Then keep citing the new numbers for whatever issue is under discussion. When they scream CBO has changed just point to the Ryan talk on YouTube as settled economic science and resume citing the new numbers.
