(The Daily Signal) In an attempt to distance himself from Jonathan Gruber, President Obama has been attempting to downplay the ObamaCare ‘Stupid Americans’ Architect Gruber’s role in crafting his signature legislative achievement.
During a presser at the G-20 Summit in Brisbane, Australia Obama claimed that Gruber was just “some adviser that never worked on our staff.”
Over the past week however 6 videos have surfaced of Gruber one of the key ObamaCare architects, discussing how Senate Democrats and the Obama Administration “tortured” the language of the ACA to secure its passage.
For someone that ‘never worked on our staff’ Gruber in-fact visited the White House more than a dozen times according to visitor logs and at least one of those meetings occurred in the Oval Office.
Additionally about Gruber being just “some adviser” was paid according to contracts with HHS some $400,000 of taxpayers money.
- Flashback: Sen Obama at The Brookings Institution April 2006 ‘Restoring America’s Promise of Opportunity, Prosperity & Growth’ Symposium (Transcript: Page 9) “I have stolen ideas from liberally people ranging from Robert Gordon, Austin Goolsbee, Jon Gruber…who can inform what are sometimes dry policy debates with a prophetic voice.”
Where can I sign up for a $400K contract with HHS which no one knows who I am and I can advise the White House about a key piece of legislation without really doing so?
