Update: Jump to the end for a new video linking
Obama to Gruber’s deceptions.
Another day,
another Gruber video drops where he demonstrates what a complete snot he
is. As I said previously on #Grubergate,
the
man has a fundamental distaste for Democracy, and the #Grubergate chorus has
gotten loud enough to force Obama to talk about it. Via Hot
Air:
When
asked directly if he or his administration had, as Gruber insisted, intentionally
misled the public and oversight organizations like the Congressional Budget
Office when they crafted the Accordable Care Act, Obama’s reply was terse and
direct. “No,” he said. “I did not.”
Obama
was joined on Sunday by Health and Human Services Sec. Sylvia Burwell who
appeared on Meet the Press to distance herself and the administration from
Gruber.
“I
have to start with how fundamentally I disagree with his comments about the
bill and about the American people,” she began emphatically.
Do read the whole thing, but, dear
reader, you are looking at the website of a Google ninja.
Just as the now-famous Rich Weinstein, a.k.a. @phillyrich1 went through
publicly available videos and found the video that kicked off Grubergate, I
have found another video previously available that also proves just how much
the architect of Obamacare looks down on ordinary Americans, which I will share
with you after the break.
Of course,
this would be a patented Aaron “Worthing” Walker head fake. I kept saying the “architect of Obamacare,”
making you think I was talking about Professor Gruber, but in fact I was
talking about Obama himself. And as
usual, there is a point to my head fakes.
Obama may be distancing himself from Gruber’s disdain for the average
American, but the evidence shows us overwhelmingly he shares it. Besides the infamous “clinging to guns and
religion” comment we have Obama saying Americans are too uninvolved to
understand that we can just keep going deeper and deeper into debt.
The truth is
that Obama agrees, in principle, with everything Gruber has said. He fundamentally doesn’t believe in the
essential wisdom of the American people, which is why he shoved Obamacare down
our throats when the people clearly didn’t want it, and why he will probably
shove some kind of amnesty down our throats after getting clubbed in the last
election. Because fundamentally, he sees
himself like a parent forcing a child to eat his or her vegetables: sure, they
object, but that is because they don’t know what is good for them.
So as much as
Obama might try to distance himself from Gruber, it is plainly a feint: he
agrees with him on every point.
Update: Can I call it or what? I barely get done writing this post and I pop
over to Hot
Air to find... another video, this time Gruber saying explicitly that Obama
was in on the deception.
In other
words, for Obama opacity was a tremendous political advantage. The #Grubergate scandal has officially reached
Obama. As W. James Antle III wrote:
For
five years, Republicans have been searching for the perfect messenger to speak
out against Obamacare.
They
have finally found him. His name in Jonathan Gruber.
Indeed, it has
gotten so bad that I am beginning to think that any day now we will reach the
most ridiculous stage of any bad news for Democrats: when conspiracy theories
start coming out of the woodwork. See
whenever reality becomes sufficiently awful for liberals, they tend to claim
that the whole thing is a set up, and we are about there. So expect soon for liberals to claim that
Gruber was a plant, a mole, designed to worm his way into the creation of
Obamacare and then blow it up at the right time.
(Never mind
that the right time would have been several weeks before the election to create
potentially a veto-proof majority in Congress (or at least get us close enough
that a veto override would be in reach).
Because facts and logic are beside the point with conspiracy theories
like this.)
So, when you
start seeing that shoe drop, you’ll know you read it here, first. Or maybe on my twitter feed.

My wife and I
have lost our jobs due to the harassment of convicted terrorist (and
adjudicated pedophile) Brett Kimberlin, including an attempt to get us killed
and to frame me for a crime carrying a sentence of up to ten years. I know that claim sounds fantastic, but if you
read starting here,
you will see absolute proof of these claims using documentary and video
evidence. If you would like to help in
the fight to hold Mr. Kimberlin accountable, please hit the donation link on
the right. And thank you.

Disclaimer:
I have accused
some people, particularly Brett Kimberlin, of reprehensible conduct. In some cases, the conduct is even
criminal. In all cases, the only justice
I want is through the appropriate legal process—such as the criminal justice
system. I do not want to see vigilante
violence against any person or any threat of such violence. This kind of conduct is not only morally
wrong, but it is counter-productive.
In the
particular case of Brett Kimberlin, I do not want you to even contact him. Do not call him. Do not write him a letter. Do not write him an email. Do not text-message him. Do not engage in any kind of directed
communication. I say this in part
because under Maryland law, that can quickly become harassment and I don’t want
that to happen to him.
And for that
matter, don’t go on his property. Don’t
sneak around and try to photograph him.
Frankly try not to even be within his field of vision. Your behavior could quickly cross the line
into harassment in that way too (not to mention trespass and other concerns).
And do not
contact his organizations, either. And
most of all, leave his family alone.
The only
exception to all that is that if you are reporting on this, there is of course
nothing wrong with contacting him for things like his official response to any
stories you might report. And even then
if he tells you to stop contacting him, obey that request. That this is a key element in making out a
harassment claim under Maryland law—that a person asks you to stop and you
refuse.
And let me say
something else. In my heart of hearts, I
don’t believe that any person supporting me has done any of the above. But if any of you have, stop it, and if you
haven’t don’t start.
