I hope there is a photo/video too, but even if there isn't, the white House logs confirm it.

Obamacare Architect Jonathan Gruber: Obama Was In the Room When the Cadillac Tax Was Created

http://pjmedia.com/tatler/2014/11/13/obamacare-architect-jonathan-gruber-obama-was-in-the-room-when-the-cadillac-tax-was-created/

___________________________________________

In the above article, Gruber praises Obama for ignoring the election of Scott Brown in Massachusetts, and the anti-Obamacare message that that election sent.

If you remember, we here in Massachusetts voted for Scott Brown who campaigned on being the 41st vote that would deprive the Senate of the 2/3 super majority it needed to pass Obamacare.

After Scott Brown won, the Democrats nullified the votes of the American people and passed Obamacare by way of an abuse of a special budgetary procedure called "reconciliation."

......it seems that some might need a refresher course on the history of Obamacare’s enactment. Reconciliation didn’t play a small role in Obamacare’s passage, as has been suggested. Without reconciliation, Obamacare would not have become law at all. It’s true that the main Obamacare structure was passed by the Senate in December 2009 under normal rules for legislative consideration. That’s because Democrats at that time had 60 votes (including two independent senators who caucus with them). They didn’t need to resort to reconciliation to pass the bill as long as all 60 of their senators stuck together and supported passage, which they did.

But then Scott Brown won the Massachusetts Senate race in January 2010; the Democrats lost their 60-vote supermajority and could no longer close off debate on legislation without the help of at least one Republican senator.
