ObamaCare Counted On "Stupidity Of American Voter" Says It's Creator.

Common Sense Commentary: The constant, dishonest, magnitude of utterly treacherous, craven, misguided and false hearted fraud the Obama Presidency has crammed down the throats of the American people, is without precedent in this country. Yes, it has happened in other nations, but never in the United States of America. I am beginning to wonder if this man is right in his conclusion about "the stupidity of the American voter". Obama was not once, but twice elected.
That fact would lead one to believe that Hillary will be our next President unless Christians wake up and put a stop to this chicanery.  RB


ObamaCare architect says lack of transparency helped law pass, cites 'stupidity of the American voter' 

The Daily Caller By Patrick Howley Published November 11, 2014

NOW PLAYING ObamaCare architect admits 'lack of transparency' strategy Never autoplay videos ObamaCare architect Jonathan Gruber said that lack of transparency was a major part of getting ObamaCare passed, and that it was written in such a way as to take advantage of "the stupidity of the American voter."

Gruber, the MIT professor who served as a technical consultant to the Obama administration during ObamaCare’s design, also made clear during a panel quietly captured on video that the individual mandate, which was only upheld by the Supreme Court because it was a tax, was not actually a tax.

“This bill was written in a tortured way to make sure CBO did not score the mandate as taxes. If CBO scored the mandate as taxes, the bill dies. Okay, so it’s written to do that.  In terms of risk-rated subsidies, if you had a law which said that healthy people are going to pay in – you made explicit healthy people pay in and sick people get money, it would not have passed… Lack of transparency is a huge political advantage. And basically, call it the stupidity of the American voter or whatever, but basically that was really, really critical for the thing to pass… Look, I wish Mark was right that we could make it all transparent, but I’d rather have this law than not.”

ACA Architect: 'The Stupidity Of 
The American Voter' Led Us To Hide 
Obamacare's True Costs From The Public

Avik Roy , Forbes Staff

You’ve got to hand it to MIT economist Jonathan Gruber. The guy dubbed the “Obamacare architect” is a viral YouTube sensation. A few months back, he was caught on tape admitting that Obamacare doesn’t provide subsidies for federally-run insurance exchanges; it’s now the topic of a new case before the Supreme Court. Today, new video surfaced in which Gruber said that “the stupidity of the American voter” made it important for him and Democrats to hide Obamacare’s true costs from the public. “That was really, really critical for the thing to pass,” said Gruber. “But I’d rather have this law than not.” In other words, the ends—imposing Obamacare upon the public—justified the means.

The mere fact that President Obama was elected in the first place....and then re-elected pretty much proves his point!
