Obamacare: 2011 GAO Report Confirms 'Speak-O' Gruber
NewsBusters ^ | July 27, 2014 | P.J. Gladnick

Liberals are now in damage control mode on the heels of the discovery of not one but two videos of Obamacare architect Jonathan Gruber claiming in January 2012 that the subsidies for that program were limited to exchanges set up by the states. Their contention is that while Gruber might have worked closely with Congress to create the Obamacare bill, he is still not Congress. The other claim is that there is no document that backs up what they consider to be merely a Gruber "Speak-O."

Newsflash folks! Your humble correspondent has come upon a 2011 General Accounting Office report to the Senate that confirms Speak-O Gruber. I will present the relevant quote after the jump but first let us review the Gruber excuse to Jonathan Cohn of the New Republic Friday that has popularized the word "speak-o."

As always, our side is the side with the facts.

Our court system has become political, and the one judge who disregarded the facts in this very important issue needs to be impeached.

That impeachment, with others to follow, would be faster, far more practical, and more palatable to country than impeaching the President.

Difference between liberals and Conservatives: Liberals get mad when you tell them the truth. Conservatives get mad when you lie to them.

"That impeachment, with others to follow, would be faster, far more practical, and more palatable to country than impeaching the President."

Patriots need to read the Constitution (RTFM) about impeachment, particularly Clause 6 of Section 3 of Article I. In order to kick somebody out of office, two thirds of the members of the Senate have to vote to do so after the House has impeached someone.

The problem is that patriots have already let two election cycles, 2010 and 2012, slip through their fingers with respect to not exercising their voting muscle to make sure that there are enough senators who are willing to kick the crooks in DC out of office. So I'm not betting anything on the idea that patriots are going to wake up in time for the 2014 elections to do what they should have started doing four years ago.

Senator Baucus
23 September 2009
In committee.

Legislative intent.
To me this holds more weight than Gruber as it is a senator, in session.
