Fine. He’s a lying sack of Sunni Shiite.
Good.
Thanks for the precise clarification. If one person has a job that puts his hands on 480 and 200a every day, that should be no damn different than the window washer at the carwash.
According to King Obama and the Moonbats.
That’s true. And it is already a failure here!
Of course, you'll be going back to 2012. And, for a different Gruber.
It’s a good thing Boehner and McConnell both said no to impeachment.
I will say this. Washington is putting itself at dire risk of losing all its own executive privilege.
ObamaCare Architect undermines ObamaCare foundation Youtube video 1:18Published on Jul 25, 2014
Voters got to know Jonathan Gruber in 2012 when the Obama campaign put the health care policy wonk forward to shut down ObamaCare attacks from Republican nominee Mitt Romney. President Obama was so eager to play up Gruber’s role as a chief architect of ObamaCare because Gruber had been a chief architect of Romney’s state-level health law. Elevating Gruber allowed the campaign to deliver his lines with greater crack: “The core of the Affordable Care Act or Obamacare and what we did in Massachusetts are identical," says Gruber in one campaign ad. While Gruber may have helped neuter Romney’s ObamaCare attacks, he may end up helping to neuter the law itself thanks to a video unearthed by free-market think tank the Competitive Enterprise Institute.
Gruber, an MIT professor who has become a Democratic health care talking head, also gets paid for talking to industry groups about ObamaCare. In one 2012 speech, Gruber talked about the provision in the law that has state governments administer enrollments, including subsidies. “I think what’s important to remember politically about this is if you’re a state and you don’t set up an exchange, that means your citizens don’t get their tax credits,” said Gruber, a MIT professor, in a speech two years ago. Why is that problematic? Because it directly contradicts what the administration argued in court about a lawsuit that could be “devastating” to ObamaCare because it would end the subsidies paid to enrollees in the states that did not voluntarily comply.
The preferred talking point for pro-administration groups has been to dismiss the subsidy gap as a clerical error, not an intentional policy. It goes like this: Congress meant to provide a way to work around non-compliant states, but didn’t get the wording right. It was, in the words of one administration insider deployed to knock down the court decision, a typo. And who was that insider? You guessed it: Jonathan Gruber. This matters not because it is an embarrassing deception for an academic to be caught in, but because it suggests the falsity of the administration’s claim that this was a glitch and not a feature. The administration was eager to highlight Gruber’s role in order to shame Romney, making it hard now to suggest that he was some peripheral figure. Whether this matters in the expected Supreme Court decision is a matter for the legal eagles to consider, but from a messaging point of view this is a Krakatoa-sized eruption.
The plan pretty plainly was to do on subsidies what the administration has tried to do on Medicaid expansion: pressure governors who do not comply and create talking points for Democratic candidates. It’s just that so many states refused to set up their own ObamaCare shops, including those with supportive governors. The rest of the actual glitches in the law and technology made even some liberal governors opt out and kick the can back to Washington. If the White House can’t argue publicly that this is some silly technicality it goes straight to the heart of the main problem with ObamaCare and voters: they don’t think it works.
Obama might have been in the room, but that doesn’t mean he took part in the planning.
After all, he was laughing too hard to be able to talk.
Hope he kept his blue dress in the closet!
It certainly isn’t his “man parts”
Because the media has and always will be in the pocket of the Democrat Party..they would only report it if it made a Republican look bad..Valerie Jarrett already informed the media that if they know what is good for them they won’t touch this story
It appears that Obamacare was completely crafted by these creepy pajama-boy types - must be Barry’s type. Barry, Zeke Emmanual and Jon Gruber should be frog marched out of the White House in handcuffs as the bill was fraudulently crafted. My recollection was that the Democrats voted on the same day that they received it, before anyone had any time to read it. They were throwing around the phrase “You have to pass it, before you can see what’s in it.”

Looks like he did. The lowdown on his involvement with Romneycare is included in the following Frontline interview.

LOL
Interesting, he donated 2000 bucks to the Kerry campaign in 04 and a “measly” 500 bucks to Obama in 2012. Wonder if he was still getting Govt. contract bucks when he donated to the Barry campaign?
