Obamacare architect caught on video bragging about exploiting the American voters

November 12, 2014

gruber  Obamacare architect  Jonathan Gruber is turning into the gift that keeps on giving: Earlier this year he was twice caught on video admitting that the Federal exchange exclusion from handing out subsidies was not a mistake–this could undermine the government’s assumed argument that the exclusion was a typo and not the intent of the law–and now he has been caught for a third time talking about the stupidity of the American voters and how the writers of the law were able to use this to deceive the American people in order to pass the healthcare reform law.

  Here is more:

  This time he appears to be bragging about exploiting the average American voter and this comment came while discussing the “Cadillac tax” on premium healthcare plans. Here is what he said: 

In the video, Gruber discusses the so-called “Cadillac tax,” which Obamacare imposes on high-quality healthcare plans in order to subsidize other plans.

“It’s a very clever, you know, basic exploitation of the lack of economic understanding of the American voter,” Gruber said.

  Yes Mr. Gruber you are so damned clever, aren’t you? Too bad you were too stupid to realize you should not be insulting the American people at several events which were being recorded. Just saying…

  Where is the outrage from the left over these comments? After all, if this were the CEO of a large corporation talking about the exploitation of the American voters or of the American workers there would be hell to pay, yet they are silent and we know why…the end justifies the means.

    I love this guys’ honesty! Very refreshing, and everything he said is true. Hugh Hewitt played 3 DIFFERENT TIMES where he said this.

      In a way he is right about this but one has to wonder if he would have made the comments if he knew it would come back to haunt him.

        In these clips he is being honest, but he still is a slime ball, so no, he would never want to get into trouble for his honesty. After all, he wanted the Obamacare nightmare.

        Yes he did want it and this proves that the left would do anything it took to pass it.

    Something I think is not only relevant, but an extremely important part of his videos also reinforces the fact that this was not done accidentally, and yet it’s not being brought out anywhere in any of the videos I’ve seen thus far. Everyone is making issue of the fact that he’s labeled Americans as “stupid” and he (and others) deceived them. Ok.. ignorant thing to say, however what’s needed is more and more evidence that it was purposely done the way it was rather than it just being a ‘typo’ as liberals are now claiming it to be, was there a ‘motive’ for him to do things this way? In the below video, I think he states clearly his motive… at the :46 mark, he simply states “I’d rather have this law than not”. Is there any more motive needed for lying than this?
    He says this in a couple of videos. It’s what “he” wants. Furthering his statement that people are stupid, in fact, they’re so stupid and I want this law and don’t care what the people want, that I’m going to write it this way is what he’s saying. So, he wrote it that way, why? Because “HE” wanted it…… motive motive motive… In any crime, first thing police look for after evidence, “motive”…

      Thanks for sharing! It is becoming fairly obvious what was intended at this point, the only question I have is; will this be enough for SCOTUS to rule the Federal exchange handing out subsidies is illegal?

    Former Senator Tom Daschle said essentially the same thing when explaining how to “slip things by the American voters.

    OK…
    …and there are still no Impeachment proceedings?

    I saw one article speculating that he might start pushing his blanket amnesty as early as next week.

    What’s our red line going to be?

    I just caught on O’Reilly that there has been Zero reporting of this other than Fox. Not one.

    They knew what they were doing when they made Obamacare. Up until then, he was getting away with whatever he wanted under the guise of us being “racist” if we objected to it. So in essence Obama has been using the race card from the time he started running for the Illinois Senate. Well, actually you could say he has been playing the game since he was applying to what we can only assume was the affirmative action or foreign student image to his school days. The media has been playing along as well, because to do otherwise would put them in the same category as us “RACISTS”. They have assisted him in his path to stardom and now that his shine and cover is wearing off they will probably start letting slip bits and pieces of truth out, to save a little face. That will be a little bit to late for me to have any faith that in the future they will ever tell the truth. They are, as a whole, liberal biased. So, yes, there has been alot of us being stupid, that is a fact, but all because people wanted to prove they were NOT racists or just because they really were stupid. Either way, they have assisted this very dangerous man (term used lightly) in taking our country down.

      You are right Lou, playing the race card is nothing new with this man or with the media but I think they might have finally pushed it too far because people are starting to actually feel what his policies are doing to them and they are realizing we might have had a point or two after all.
      The media has to move away from him a little bit in order to keep up the appearance of being non-partisan, plus they have to distance the 2016 Democratic front-runners from Obama.

        It will be interesting to watch them squirm and see how they weasel out of this one with the least amount of damage. It will be kind of hard this time, but they will manage somehow.
        Obama is heading full steam into what ever he can force thru with his EO before January, it remains to be seen if the Republicans will stand up for us or cave. I am not real optimistic about this, but we did pull off taking back the Senate and adding numbers to the House and a bunch more Governors and State seats, so guess anything is possible. The problem is that there is so much cover for this Administration that it gets done a lot of times before we even find out the particulars of the situation and can react to it.

        Haha, I went back and read over what you posted and caught “the media has to move away from him a little bit in order to keep up the appearance of being non-partisan”, surely you jest????? At this point only the stupid people would believe they are non-partisan!!!!

        I am not optimistic about the Republicans standing up to him either, he will pass as much as he can, either through EO or through the lame-duck, and I do not have any faith the Republicans will do anything once they take over in January.
        In regards to the MSM; I am afraid too many people still get their news from them.

    And the lies just keep coming… At a press conference Nancy Pelosi this morning:
    “Pelosi, the House Democratic leader, tried to downplay Gruber’s role during a press conference on Thursday.

    She claimed she doesn’t know who he is, and that he didn’t help write the law. “Let’s put him aside,” she said.
    And yet we have this video… https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pHFOgjXevdk
