    ....and Obola doesn't know diddly about him. Is anyone surprised.

    This is true to the plan. Deny. Huh? What? Never heard of him. And this man has found his way into $6,000,000.00 in assorted rents sucked out of the government teat.

    For someone who is supposed to be so smart, Gruber let his mouth get the better of him. I'm thankful his ego has no editor, otherwise who else would state the truth of the lies told to pass Obamacare.

    Gruber may be posturing and full of himself, but that does not mean he was wrong in any way. The thing is, Jonathan Gruber offered no new revelations. He simply affirmed what the right knew all along about Obamacare. It was a shock to hear truth coming out of anyone in the Obama Administration.

    Remember, Liberals were more outraged over Romney stating a FACT, then they are at Gruber calling them all stupid. Remember that!!! Goes to show, Gruber is right.

    I was very happy to hear the unmetered hatred of the hoi polloi. The leftist elitist cohort is scum to the core and America needs more exposure to this.

    Gallup: 'New numerical low' for Obamacare

    By Lucy McCalmont

    11/17/14 6:00 AM EST

    Support for Obamacare continues to decline, with the law hitting a new low in approval, and a new high in disapproval, as the second enrollment period has opened for Americans, according to Gallup.

    Just 37 percent approve of the Affordable Care Act, 1 percentage point less than the previous low recorded in January, Gallup found in a new survey released Monday.

    This revelation doesn't make the law more favorable with the American people; it makes them hate it even more. No one likes someone pulling the wool of their eyes and tricking them. Now, we know that it was the Tea Party townhall meeting where citizens were standing up and saying...."wait a minute, we don't trust you on this," who were absolutely seeing through all of the shell game that was going on. And now....there is proof of it.

    I didn't think there was a chance this thing could be repealed and replaced before; but now I do. And now they are still lying about what they did.....making it even worse.

    One question: Does Obama and his gang actually think American citizens don't know how to search on the internet for this stuff? Just because he's protected by the liberal media who don't care to ever investigate him, doesn't mean the rest of the nation will do that for him.

    This was all uncovered to begin with by an ordinary American citizen who was unhappy about Obamacare. See what one American can do???

    Where are the Democrats on this one? Were they too busy peddling politics when Obamacare was being sold to Americans? Were they complicit in spreading the lie and don't want to now confess their sins?

    Poor Johnny Gruber. He's now a persona non grata. My, how the mighty have fallen! Lesson learned---going to a fancy school doesn't always make you smarter. Perhaps he was the most stupid voter. LOL

    Gruber will come to be known as 'GruberGate'.....

    Just saw Obama on the tube.... he said 'this is the first time I've heard about this'...... dang! He sure has a lazy staff. Apparently they don't bother to tell their boss a thing. You'd think them keeping him in the dark would upset him.....lol. Where's Valerie Jarrett?

    That's what I've been saying all along. As mentioned in my sig, Gruber is only saying what the left was thinking all along.

    If they say anything, it is pretty obvious that they will be reminded that, in Jonathan Gruber's estimation, they are stupid because they willfully fell for the sweet Obama lie, hook, line, and sinker. It has also got to be at least a huge embarrassment that they have been telling the right that they were wrong for four years, and Jonathan Gruber pretty much confirmed everything, and I do mean everything, that the right had been saying about Obamacare for four years.

    I am not sure how any argument about Obamacare will ever be tenable for the left, when the architect of the plan has said that the left are stupid for being willful dupes.

    Here's one of my favorite quotes from Gruber found on the video clips:

    “This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure the CBO did not score the mandate as taxes,” said Gruber. “Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. Call it the stupidity of the America voter, or whatever.”

    From what I'm reading, this has been placed in the upcoming King case before the Supreme Court. And I think what ordinary citizen Weinstein has uncovered could help us actually WIN that court case. Our chances now are certainly better than before.

    He heard about it on the news, just like us regular folks. Funny how the media gets their marching orders from him but they are his source of information on major events.

    Here's what they know

    1. The Richard Suck media will still cover for them.

    2. The DOJ won't do ANYTHING no matter the crime.

    3. Their voters are clearly either indoctrinated elitists or looters and moochers. So it's 'by any means necessary' or 'huh?'.

    4. Most of the country is busy trying to survive the Obola Recovery. They work. They can't invest the effort. Good news. Many DID vote.

    From NY Times:

    And about anyone with a better than fourth grade education knows that when it comes to insurance, there are those who pay and those who collect meaning healthy people would pay for those who are sick or injured. That's how the insurance system works. For Republicans or anyone to say or suggest that this was somehow hidden from the public is pretty damned dumb. OK, well maybe not for Republicans.

    Once again, we have the incredible building of mountains out of molehills, all the while hollering to the heavens. And while we've (collectively) been wasting time over this nonsense, substantive changes to the ACA just fall by the wayside.
