He\u2019s talking about all these brilliant minds that he\u2019s stolen ideas from liberally, including Jon Gruber.  But let\u2019s go back to sound bite six, Friday, once again to early Sunday morning in Brisbane, Australia. Obama\u2019s asked about what Gruber\u2019s running around saying about lying to the American people about taxes and keeping their plan and all that (when they weren\u2019t gonna be able to) in order to get the bill passed.  In other words, Obama\u2019s asked: What about this, what this Gruber guy is saying?<\/p>\n<p>OBAMA:  No.  I &#8212; I did not.  Uhhh, I just heard about this&#8230; I &#8212; I get well briefed before, uh, I come out here.  Uh, th-th-the fact that some advisor who never worked on our staff, uhh, expressed an opinion that, uhh, I completely disagree with wuh, uhh, in terms of the voters, is no reflection on the actual process that was run.<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Right. &#8220;I\u2019ve stolen liberally from Gruber.  He\u2019s a brilliant academic mind! I\u2019ve stolen liberally from Gruber.  Jon Gruber? Oh, yeah!&#8221; Now it\u2019s,  &#8220;Who?  Oh, no. He\u2019s some advisor who never worked on this.&#8221;  Of course, ladies and gentlemen, the story on all this later today from Drive-By Media will be our reaction here on the Rush Limbaugh program to Gruber (chuckles) and whatever Fox News does in reaction.  <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>RUSH: Here is Obama in 2006 at the Brookings Institution.
