To to be most effective they need to release these one by one much more slowly.

you let the general public get over it, and then you started up again.

They need to Breitbart this insect.

I have written the MIT press office to ask whether they think Gruber represents what their standard of integrity and ethics, and if so, to issue a press release proclaiming this, and if not, to answer why he is still employed there. No response yet.

Published 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.

Rat boy, Professor John Gruber, not knowing he was actually confessing on video to embezzlement while calling the people he tricked stupid is priceless….

This piece of garbage , that brags, gets a thrill off of committing felonies, lying to the public, tricking well-meaning people, etc….. needs to fired, arrested and tried for Embezzlement. The University that he works at should be warned by the congress that it will lose federals including scholarships, grants, loans and any other funding…. if they do not get rid of this parasite off their payrolls immediately. He defiantly owes the U.S taxpayers all the money he was paid (I believe it was in excess of 400k a year…. this should include all medical, insurance, vacation days, etc…) IMO.

Saw it on Greta. To quote from The Guns of Navarone, “You’re in it, up to your neck”; or was that “Force 10 ...?”

I'm so glad he has a great name like Gruber. Works as a noun or verb.

What an officious, self serving, ass.

Yeah, the adolescent part was an allusion to the dishonesty employed in serving this pile-0-crap up with outright lies and obfuscation, designed to fool every class of American

Where have these videos been for the last 5 YEARS? Why are they suddenly dribbling out NOW? Seems like they’ve let it out just to laugh at us after our so-called wins in the elections.

Have we elected anyone at all with the courage to fight back, to try and save what’s left of the country? Or will the Dems continue to smash us down while talk radio and Fox news blabs us to death, narrating our destruction? So far the Republicans seem business as usual. Wimp-a$$es.

Something is off here. What the heck is really going on?

I am so sick of these pompous Sheldon Coopers that have nothing but theory which has little correlation to real life while they insist they know how we need to live.
