RUSH: Bob Schieffer. I mentioned earlier that Bob Schieffer was just beside himself when he learned what Gruber said, that they lied and they had to lie about Obamacare because people are so stupid<\/a>. Here he is on Face the Nation yesterday. He\u2019s on his way to a Ron Fournier moment<\/a>, an emotional come-to-Jesus breakdown. But he doesn\u2019t quite get there. He still can\u2019t find his way to blame Obama for it.<\/p>\n

SCHIEFFER: I was dumbstruck when I heard the comments that are surfacing from an economist named Jonathan Gruber, who was paid $400,000 to help shape the president\u2019s health care plan. I\u2019ll be honest. While I favor health insurance, I am not wild about the new plan and how it became law, either. But here is my question for Mr. Gruber. If all this was as bad as you say, why did you take the money you earned as an advisor? Nor is it too late to give it back. As for the president, he may want to consider that old politician\u2019s prayer: “Lord, I can take care of my enemies, just protect me from my friends.”<\/p>\n
