He is so f’n funny.
He will not be able to control himself and will continue to entertain us and inform. He is a gem.

Funny how the people flipping out about Gruber had no problems with the “Death Panels” lies.

In history classes in the future, whole courses will center on The Colbert Report and the Daily Show, because they are the most accurate depictions of the politics of the day. Regular “news shows” will be covered in the “History of Unintentional Comedy”.

NOT A PEEP IN THE MEDIA ABOUT EBOLA since November 2nd (aka pre-election day) - and now this Obamacare guy’s year-old recorded statements are trending. Well played GOPers. Sure it’s gross and sad how the entirety of American media lets you manipulate them - but still impressive.

What the media always seems to leave out, this media included, was that the only reason this guy became “one of the architects of Obamacare” was that he was one of the architects of Romneycare, one of Romney’s trusted advisers. His partisan inclinations are suspect in this debacle. One would think that would be central to this story.

It is, that is why it’s left out, it wrecks the theme.

It is funny, not haha funny and so obviously true.
Did tens of millions of Americans sign up for this benefit out of obedience to the 'State". Did Obama himself twist their arms and guide their hands as they were forced to have unnecessary healthcare?
For a fact, just Democrats had this urge to have improved/affordable healthcare but not a single Republican/neo-Con/Teabagger/architect of the law?
The haters hate that so many millions of Americans love Obamacare and the fact that it isn’t a partisan thing, it is for all Americans, even the haters.

I try to pay attention when people, on an unsolicited basis, talk about their personal experience with Obamacare. If it’s positive, it’s either about people being able to keep their kids on their plan longer, or even better, folks who got a reasonably priced decent plan when they were unable to get a plan at all because of preexisting conditions. I have heard one guy who made too much money and there was no benefit. I haven’t heard one person who tells me how horrible it is, make the case without letting Republican talking points creep in to the discussion which I can readily identify because I occasionally listen to the Hannity and Limbaughs out there. I’ve yet to hear some personal bad experience from someone who wanted it to work.
By the way, both those shows are almost unlistenable now, they’ve really gone down hill.
