Last month’s election showed how smart most voters are.
The article sounds like a diagnosis.
IMHO
Gruber was a loose canon so impressed with his own influence he forgot to lie
It’s a pity he hasn’t spent his life analyzing why health care is so expensive in the US compared to other countries. An economic model to reduce costs would be very useful.
Spin to downplay Mr. Gruber.....
Gruber was dumped on us and played up for some reason.
Was he dumped on us as a figure we can hate and be angry about to divert us from being angry about the Republicans who have no intention of reversing Obamacare?
Gruber seems to hurt Obama for the moment but as has been pointed out, he worked for Mitt Romney to develop Mitt’s statewide version in Massachusetts.
A slick politician could dump that on Romney during a presidential debate in 2016. Gruber may serve Hillary’s interests in the end.
Lefties deconstructing Gruber. If nothing, the moonbats are predictable as they circle..
‘claiming there was a strategy to hide uncomfortable details from voters’
Even though the lies of the MSM are so well known, occasionally they let slip a whopper of such magnitude as to still be shocking.
The MSMer writing the article says there was no strategy to hide rotten Obamacare details from voters, and no reliance of voter stupidity to get away with it.
Maybe it’s not a lie. Maybe the writer is honestly that clueless. The average MSM journalist’s IQ is fairly low.
Well, some people occasionally tell the truth.
To Politico, and to DC-World in general, I know this seems strange, but way out here, it's a fact.
The GOPe will let him slide. Nothing to see here...
The Dems desperately want to get rid of the albatross.
If they weren’t all atheists they’d be praying that SCOTUS will scuttle the turkey.
At that point they’ll be looking for a scapegoat, and obviously it’s not gonna be Obama. Gruber is tailor made to go under the bus.
trust gruber on economics
—except that people do not understand economics
so don’t listen to gruber on economics, listen to journalists who can interpret it for the voters
don’t trust gruber on politics
—instead, trust politicians, for example, pelosi and sebelius
who lied when they were asked if they knew gruber and denied it
and of course journalists
except when journalists wrote that gruber was an obamacare architect (they, uh, we erred on that)
and just about every obamacare staffer will tell you the same
just ask this teddy kennedy staffer!
so bottom line
don’t listen to gruber
got it?
lol
The only way Obamacare topples is if the sheeperal can be made to accept (if not admit) that it
DOES NOT HELP PEOPLE
and they are not “a good person” for supporting it.
So which is it?
His models predicted that families would save $2,500 per year, or they predicted that everyone's costs would rise and then they lied about saving $2,500 per year to get the bill passed?
-PJ
Not if the GOPe can help it.
No worries the Rino's are bent on saving it, obama can count on it.
-— Yes, he has had an astonishing rise in the world of health care policy—and it’s completely deserved, in their view, because of his groundbreaking work on predicting the cost impact of different kinds of health care legislation. ——
I don’t want whatever it is Politico is smoking.
