STUPID IS AS STUPID DOES

It's a sad kettle of fish when Americans don't expect anything but lies from leadership.

Didn't these schemers have a Mama that taught them the truth will out?  How in the world did they expect God to bless something built on a crooked foundation?  You don't do wrong to do right.

Dr. Jonathan Gruber, the MIT economist and senior advisor to Obamacare, went to the White House nine times in his consultant role.  We paid him $400,000.  Other states contracted with him for another million-and-a-half.  Economically, it was a very good year for the professor.

Then he "stepped in it" when his comments from 2013 showed up.  At first, it was only Fox reporting and the mainstream media ignored it.  Gruber made a shallow apology, saying "I spoke off the cuff".  Then more videos came out with him saying more of the same.  What did he say that was so noteworthy?

Bottom line was...Dr. Gruber said they lied on purpose.  He said if Americans had known what Obamacare really did, it wouldn't have passed.  We were too stupid to understand how good it was.

In fact, Obamacare sits atop a hill of doozies which were used to (as Charles Krauthammer has said) "lead the masses to the promised land".   We were told:

"If you like your doc/if you like your plan...you can keep your doc/you can keep your plan."  "The website is ready/the website is secure."  "A family will save $2,500."  "It's NOT a tax!"  "It won't fund abortions."  And, "It's not wealth redistribution."

ALL WERE KNOWN TO BE UNTRUTHS WHEN THEY WERE SPOKEN.

Americans are beginning to figure out the fraud, as evidenced by the midterms which kicked to the curb twenty-eight Senators who voted for O'care.  So we are THAT smart, Dr. Gruberomics.

But thanks anyway for offering us a comic book with pictures so we could understand.  At 160 pages, it must be the longest comic book known to man.

And by the way, we do have a bit of buyers remorse for the slug of cash we paid you, Sir...when you've never held a job in the private sector or run a business.  Your tenured position at MIT is full of theory.

Another thing.  Would someone please tell Ms. Pelosi that no one believes a word she says?  LINK   On the other hand, Jay Carney was forthcoming when he called Dr. Gruber "the architect of the President's Affordable Care Act".

In 2008, if the country voted for TRANSPARENCY (tired of political spin), IMPROVED RACE RELATIONS (tired of rancor) and a desire to HELP THE POOR...

...we sit here in 2014.  We're reeling from the lies and lack of transparency... reeling from Ferguson (where comments by the President and Eric Holder did not help)...and reeling from the reality that it's only the 1% who have prospered under President Obama.

Things haven't exactly panned out. But here's what IS encouraging...

Even in the professor's arrogant and elitist attitude, the truth came out shining.  For all its false promises, Obamacare was exposed to be a fraud.

"Fraud is a form of compulsion.  False choices are not free choices. If you promise someone bountiful goods in exchange for their signature on a contract, and then fail to deliver the goods, they did not make a “free choice” that turned out badly.  You robbed them, as surely as if you stuck a gun in the poor sap’s back and took his wallet.  That is why we empower the government to prosecute fraud. Robbery and fraud do not become acceptable because the perpetrators say they are acting in the best long-term interests of the victims."  Eric Erickson

Prof. Gruber's video began to surface on Monday (the 10th) and this LINK to Megyn Kelly's report is from Tuesday (the 11th).  The mainstream guys waited days to even mention it; CBS picked it up on the 13th and at that time neither ABC or NBC had given it any time.  The University of Pennsylvania (where Gruber spoke) tried to take the video down.  We want a free press who don't circle the wagons.  

Contrary to what Jack Nicholson said in "A Few Good Men"...WE CAN HANDLE THE TRUTH.
