The liberals at the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/dailycaller.com\/2014\/11\/10\/u-penn-deletes-video-of-obamacare-architect-insulting-american-voters\/\">University of Pennsylvania tried to take down<\/a> the video of Jonathan Gruber saying they had to dumb down the presentation of Obamacare because of the stupidity of the American voter.  They thought they could take the video down and make the issue go away. <\/p>\n<p>You remember Jonathan Gruber. By the way, he\u2019s the architect of Obamacare, and I should say that he\u2019s one of the primary architects of Romneycare as well.  It was in October of last year at the University of Pennsylvania\u2019s 24th Annual Health Economics Conference, and he said that it was crucial that the American people never realize what was really in Obamacare because the stupidity of the American voter would have otherwise killed the law. <\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" width=\"585\" height=\"315\" src=\"\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/G790p0LcgbI\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>In other words, he admitted &#8212; and he got applause, he was talking to fellow economists &#8212; he admitted they had to lie.  They had to mask and cover the transparency.  They had to lie about what was in it, such as you get to keep your doctor, you get to keep your plan, your premium will come down $2,500.  There are no tax increases.  It\u2019s not gonna cost any more than the Iraq war.  Every lie they told was purposeful because they thought the American public was so stupid they wouldn\u2019t understand the nuance and the liberal definition of need for this law, and that if they had been honest about it, people would never have supported it. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/post-politics\/wp\/2014\/11\/11\/obamacare-consultant-under-fire-for-stupidity-of-the-american-voter-comment\/\"><img id=\"eZObject_98593\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamacareArchitectArticles_579148b2c005c.jpg\"\/><\/a>That covers pretty much everything in their agenda, by the way.  If they\u2019re ever honest about their real agenda, they\u2019d never get elected to anything outside of New York, San Francisco and Hollywood.  And they wouldn\u2019t, folks.  And maybe Chicago.  They would not.  It\u2019s not just Obamacare they lie about.  It\u2019s not just Obamacare they think you are too stupid to understand. <\/p>\n<p>So, anyway, the University of Pennsylvania, after the uproar of this getting out, tried to pull it down.  They pulled the video of the event which took place in October of 2013.  And for a time yesterday, if you went to the website at the University of Pennsylvania trying to see the video, you got a message that said: &#8220;This video has been removed by the user.  Sorry about that.&#8221;  And so that begot a Twitter and Facebook storm. <\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Why would Penn pull down a public video that has political implications?&#8221;  Was one of the questions.  Because they\u2019re a bunch of liberals is why, and because their truth was exposed.  It was major.  They tried to pull it down. <\/p>\n<p>Anyway, they ended up having to put it back up because they began to look like fools, thinking that they could put back in the bottle the genie that had already been released.  You can\u2019t do that.  So they put it back up.  But it was funny to watch \u2019em scramble around, folks, like turning on the lights and a bunch of rats in the barn going nuts at being exposed and discovered.  They tried to turn the lights back off and it didn\u2019t work. <\/p>\n<p>Speaking of Obamacare, the Washington Post is, on its best day, hapless.  The Washington Post is an absolute sorry excuse for what it used to be.  But even with that, they continue to set new standards for incompetence and bias and just being plain wrong.  There\u2019s a story by <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/blogs\/post-politics\/wp\/2014\/11\/11\/obamacare-consultant-under-fire-for-stupidity-of-the-american-voter-comment\/\">Jose DelReal<\/a>: &#8220;Obamacare Consultant Under Fire for &#8216;Stupidity of the American Voter\u2019 Comment.&#8221; Now, this reporter is obviously just a Democrat with a press pass, which is what most of them at the New York Times and the Washington Post are.  They\u2019re Democrats disguised as journalists. Give them a little press pass, let \u2019em go there, pretend to be reporters and so forth. <\/p>\n<p>He sells whatever is left of his journalistic soul in this piece.  Let me give you just one pull quote from it, as they\u2019re still trying to put the genie back in the bottle.  Now, remember, this is for their liberal readers, Washington Post, liberal reader base, New York Times, same thing.  They\u2019re trying to calm their reader base. This is not a big deal, don\u2019t worry. Gruber didn\u2019t screw it up for everybody. It\u2019s okay, it\u2019s okay, trying to calm everybody down. <\/p>\n<p><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/?p=7840\"><img id=\"eZObject_98587\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamacareArchitect3_579148b2e0a37.jpg\"\/><\/a>Listen to this quote from the story:  &#8220;Gruber\u2019s remarks have been greeted by the law\u2019s critics as an admission of intentionally deceiving the American public about the law in 2010. But given the context of the remarks, Gruber seems to be speaking specifically about how and why the law\u2019s funding mechanisms were framed when the law was being written.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This guy thinks he\u2019s helping Gruber by saying that, and he is hammering another nail in the coffin.  Jose, that is exactly the point!  People were deceived about the funding mechanism.  That was the key, key, key to getting it passed. How the thing was gonna be paid for was the key to it getting passed.  Oh, and the lie to Bart Stupak about it not funding abortions. <\/p>\n<p>But the way this thing was being funded, the way it was gonna be paid for, the way it wasn\u2019t gonna cost anybody anything, the way it was gonna allow people to keep their doctors and keep their plans and lower their premiums and their deductibles? That was key to this thing getting passed, and he writes (summarized), &#8220;Well, if you read the context, if you\u2019re given the context of Professor Gruber\u2019s remarks&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He seems to be speaking specifically about how and why the law\u2019s funding mechanisms were framed,&#8221; lied about.  This guy\u2019s trying to get this guy out of a jam, and he digs a deeper hole!  But remember, he\u2019s dealing with his own liberal-Democrat reader base, and they are looking for holes to be dragged out of.  So they\u2019ll take anything that they can get.  &#8220;Economist Jonathan Gruber, one of the Regime\u2019s consultants on the&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>He was not a consultant.  He was the architect, Jose.  He &#8220;is under attack from conservatives for comments he made last year in which he seemingly said,&#8221; and then he quotes (laughing), &#8220;the stupidity of the American voter.&#8221;  Seemingly?  Seemingly said?  He didn\u2019t &#8220;seemingly&#8221; say it.  He stated unambiguously that they had to lie about this thing because of &#8220;the stupidity of the American people.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Actually if you examine that, I think really what he means is, &#8220;We had to lie because of the intelligence of the American people.  We had to lie to them, otherwise they would have seen what we intended to do.&#8221;  That means they\u2019re pretty smart, when you get right down to it, and that\u2019s what bothers them.  Now, that\u2019s not to say that Gruber and his ilk on the left and in the Democrat Party do not consider you and American voters to be a bunch of stiffs and stupid. <\/p>\n<p>It doesn\u2019t mean they don\u2019t still hold you in contempt. <\/p>\n<p>But what he\u2019s really saying is, &#8220;We had to lie. We had to lie, because they\u2019re too stupid&#8230; No, they\u2019re too smart, actually.  They would see what really is intended here unless we lie.&#8221;  So you relied on what you thought was their stupid gullibility to believe your lie, is what you were relying on. And it\u2019s 2010, so there\u2019s still some residual messianic attitudes about Obama in 2010.  So that\u2019s what they were relying on.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, it\u2019s CYA time at the Washington Post.  But it\u2019s not over for the bad news about Obamacare.  From the <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtontimes.com\/news\/2014\/nov\/10\/obamacare-health-exchange-enrollees-to-fall-well-s\/\">Washington Times<\/a>: &#8220;Obamacare May Not Have Enough Enrollees to Stay Solvent &#8212; Fewer than 10 million projected; 13 million needed to stay solvent. The [Regime] on Monday said fewer than 10 million Americans will enroll in Obamacare\u2019s health exchanges this go-around, well short of the 13 million target congressional scorekeepers deemed critical to its economics&#8230;&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Meaning: They\u2019ve gotta have 13 million people paying premiums through the nose in order to fund this thing.  It suggests &#8220;another rocky rollout in the law\u2019s second year of full operation,&#8221; and it\u2019s next week (chuckling) when the mandate hits.  It\u2019s next week when the next wave of unforeseen expenses hit everybody. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_98588\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamacareArchitectPIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>&#8220;Policy advisers at the Health &amp; Human Services Department estimated that 9 million to 9.9 million people would enroll through the exchanges &#8212; or only a slight increase over the 8 million that the [Regime] says were active at the end of the first enrollment period this April. The Congressional Budget Office, which is the government\u2019s official scorekeeper, had predicted the law would need 13 million customers on the exchanges. &#8230;<\/line><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;&#8216;Under the president\u2019s health care law, Americans have experienced broken exchanges, canceled coverage, higher premiums and unaffordable deductibles,\u2019 said Rep. Darrell E. Issa, California Republican and chairman of the House oversight committee&#8230; &#8216;Despite the administration\u00c2\u2019s habit of moving the goal posts, the fact is Obamacare is simply not delivering the results Americans were originally promised by the president.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Neither is anything else, and this the American people know, which explains the election results this past Tuesday.  &#8220;The number of enrollees is key, because if too few take part in the exchanges, the pool of customers is too small, and it could skew the economics of Obamacare, forcing insurers to raise premiums and pushing even more people to forgo coverage, choosing to pay the tax penalty instead,&#8221; the FINE.<\/p>\n<p>Stop and think of something here.  We have Obamacare.  It was gonna save the day. It was gonna insure all the uninsured. It was gonna make sure that the previous existing condition people were covered. It was gonna be magic, right?  Now, what are we talking about here?  They\u2019re hoping to get 13 million people?<\/p>\n<p>How many people are in this country, 250 million adults, 220?  What is it?  I don\u2019t care, 10 million, 13 million. It\u2019s chump change.  It\u2019s nothing. They got 8.8 million the first go round?  We\u2019re nowhere near mass adoption of this. You know, there\u2019s a new group of people elected in the House of Representatives that just been handed another golden opportunity here.  <\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH:  Here\u2019s the truth of the matter, folks.  If the American people were stupid, the Democrats would still run the Senate and maybe even the House of Representatives. If the American people were stupid.  This, by the way, really grates on the Democrats, believe me, \u2019cause if the American people were stupid &#8212; meaning falling for all the lies &#8212; the Republicans wouldn\u2019t have been elected. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_98589\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/GOPObamacareTicket.jpg\"\/><BR\/>It is elitism that is ignorant because it\u2019s arrogant and conceited, and Jonathan Gruber is an elitist and therefore has no idea what life is really like for all the people he\u2019s out there writing legislation for.  All he knows is that they\u2019re stupid, and they can\u2019t deal with the truth.  They don\u2019t know what\u2019s best for \u2019em. So in order to give them what\u2019s best for them (Obamacare), we have to lie to them. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>The American people are just a bunch of idiots. <\/p>\n<p>So lies got Barack Obama elected, twice.  Corrupt politics got Obamacare passed without a single Republican vote.  But this brilliant economist, Jonathan Gruber, wasn\u2019t smart enough to make Obamacare popular.  Imagine that!  If the American people were so stupid, they could have been talked into how wonderfully great this legislation is and they\u2019d been out there signing up.<\/p>\n<p>They\u2019d be going nuts, throwing parties, talking about how they\u2019ve all got free health care, but the American people are not that stupid and didn\u2019t fall for this.  Obamacare has never enjoyed majority public support.  You really can\u2019t outsmart free markets for very long.  Reality eventually sets in and the lies end up uncovered.  Markets work. Be they intellectual markets or economic markets, they work. <\/p>\n<p>But you know what\u2019s really tied up in all this?  The people of this country trusted Barack Obama, and in 2010 they still did.  They thought they had created a moment in world history: Electing the first African-American president in a country that had featured slavery in its distant past.  They trusted Obama.  He was gonna fix everything.  He was a new kind of man, a new kind of politician. <\/p>\n<p>But not to me. <\/p>\n<p>Folks, what\u2019s happened here is exactly why we have to go after the credibility these Democrats &#8212; this includes Hillary &#8212; before they are elected and it demonstrates itself. <\/p>\n<p>We have to go after their credibility.<\/p>\n<p>We have to just because we know we\u2019re right! <\/p>\n<p>We can\u2019t afford to elect \u2019em anymore.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: So here comes <a target=\"_blank\" href=\"http:\/\/www.washingtonpost.com\/opinions\/sylvia-mathews-burwell-vs-the-obamacare-death-panel\/2014\/11\/10\/d9403c7c-6933-11e4-a31c-77759fc1eacc_story.html\">Dana Milbank<\/a> at the fledgling Washington Post, same thing\u2019s happening to them: &#8220;Why Obamacare Risks Falling into a &#8216;Death Spiral\u2019 &#8212; So it turns out there is an Obamacare death panel after all.&#8221;  See, there is.  There are death panels, but this guy continues to deny the truth.  You\u2019re not smart enough to deal with the reality of what a death panel really is.  Sarah Palin came along and blew the whole thing by correctly naming the advisory board that determines who gets treatment and who doesn\u2019t.  That\u2019s a death panel.  That was one of those truths that the Obamacare architects could not allow out there.  So they had to attack her, destroy her, again, and anybody else that picked up the mantra. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_98594\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushObamacareSeeItoldYouSoHealthcarePIX.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So on the left they continue living in their fantasy world, that Obamacare is not what it is.  And what they don\u2019t understand is the whole country is away ahead of \u2019em.  This stupid bunch of Americans are way ahead of the Drive-By Media, which is caught twisting and turning in the past trying to save an already ruined presidency.  Well, ruined in the popular way presidencies are judged, presidential approval, blah, blah, blah.  In terms of actual accomplishments that are attached to Obama\u2019s real goal, it\u2019s a very successful administration, transforming the country.  But I don\u2019t want to get too intricate for this purpose here. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>Dana Milbank is worried about the Supreme Court.  That\u2019s the death panel for Obamacare.  Oh, yeah.  &#8220;It has nine members and it operates out of a marble building directly across the street from the Capitol. When the Supreme Court on Friday announced that it would take up another challenge to the Affordable Care Act in March, it delivered the threat of two mortal blows to the signature achievement of the Obama presidency. First, it raised the possibility that the justices, who narrowly spared the law in 2012, will in June come out with a new ruling that would dismantle the law on different grounds.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_98608\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" alt=\"original\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/RushObamacareDemStupid.jpg\"\/><BR\/>You know what a real threat or fear that the left has about this?  They know that Obamacare is unconstitutional.  They\u2019ve known it since it was written.  Gruber lets the cat out of the bag by saying we had to lie and we had to cover the transparency because of the stupidity of the American people.  In other words, we had to lie in order to get this thing passed, because if people knew what it really was, it wouldn\u2019t stand the light of day, it wouldn\u2019t stand a chance. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>The unconstitutionality is the Commerce Clause and the fact that the federal government can\u2019t force to you buy anything.  They can\u2019t force you to buy anything.  So that begot the argument, is it a mandate, is it a tax?  The federal government can tax.  But, no, it\u2019s not a tax.  It\u2019s a fine.  If you don\u2019t buy insurance, we\u2019re gonna fine you.  They can\u2019t!  The Fourth Amendment.  They can\u2019t.  However &#8212; and this is the fear the left has &#8212; they know that the Supreme Court just didn\u2019t want to go there.  I mean, it was the first black president.  It was a major signature legislation and it was for health care for the poor, and, okay, we\u2019ll look the other way. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_98595\" class=\"alignright\" align=\"right\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamacareRushObamacareFight.jpg\"\/><BR\/>So John Roberts did some finagling and found a way to make this thing sound constitutional.  But the left knows that a whole bunch of chicanery took place.  They know they\u2019re hanging by a thread.  They know they\u2019re on thin ice here, and they know that a lot of justices &#8212; well, they don\u2019t know, but I suspect they fear a lot of justices have been chomping at the bit for a second go round at this thing, \u2019cause it isn\u2019t constitutional, folks.  If we were in a totally objective, nonpartisan, sane world, this law would have been struck down inside of three hours of it arriving at the Supreme Court. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>The federal government simply cannot demand that we buy things.  It\u2019s right there in the Commerce Clause in the Fourth Amendment.  They cannot do it.  Ways were achieved to mask what is really happening by calling these things fines if you don\u2019t buy it, blah, blah.  So they know they\u2019re hanging by a thread, and they know they may be even on borrowed time.  And now the court, the Supreme Court, decided to hear the case again, this time over subsidies.  This is an area that in an objective, black and white, sane world, the Regime doesn\u2019t have a prayer. <\/p>\n<p>The point of this is real simple.  The only subsidies for Obamacare are available at state exchanges.  Well, as you recall, most states did not set one up, and therefore the people in those states, according to the law, had no way of getting subsidized Obamacare.  And, believe me, subsidized is the only way the vast majority of Americans can afford it, because it\u2019s so damned expensive.  Subsidies meaning taxpayers pay a greater portion of your policy than you do.  So when this eventuated, when the states, Republican governors in these states refused to set up exchanges, that left a whole lot of people out of the subsidies, and that just wasn\u2019t &#8212; oh, we can\u2019t allow that politically.  I mean, that would be political disaster for Obama. <\/p>\n<p>He\u2019s out there promising everything\u2019s gonna get cheaper. He\u2019s promising the uninsured are gonna get insured. He\u2019s promising don\u2019t worry about what it costs, gonna be subsidized, except most people don\u2019t live in a state with an exchange.  Oh, no.  So the federal government violated its own law and set up its own exchanges, which, whoever wrote this law, Gruber, stupidly left in that the federal government could not set up its own exchanges.  They had to be set up in the states. <\/p>\n<p>By the way, there was a purpose for that. <\/p>\n<p>That was to shift as much of the cost off to the states as they could to keep the overall final number under that precious $3 trillion figure.  So Obamacare was written in a way to dump as much cost off to the states as possible, and that\u2019s when the governors said, &#8220;Unh-uh! We\u2019re not just gonna sit here and accept these new costs.  We can\u2019t print money like you can.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>So they didn\u2019t set up the exchanges. <\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s the unintended consequences. The liberals think the people are just a bunch of sheep and whatever legislation comes down they\u2019re gonna abide by it and not find ways around it.  Well, when they figured out that a whole bunch of people were not gonna be qualified for subsidies, the federal government violated Obamacare and created their own exchanges&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>That\u2019s what the Supreme Court\u2019s gonna hear.  The Supreme Court\u2019s essentially gonna hear: Are those subsidies that are being provided by the federal government constitutional? Are they part of the law, or has this whole thing been turned upside down?  As Milbank writes about it, &#8220;But even if the justices make no such ruling,&#8221; meaning, striking it down, &#8220;the very act of taking up the challenge to the law will itself undermine the law.&#8221; <\/p>\n<p>So Milbank is in fatalistic, defeatist mode because all the court had to do was take the case and that undermines it.  If they\u2019d have just flat-out rejected it, fine and dandy.  But the Supreme Court has taken the case.  They\u2019re gonna hear it; they\u2019re gonna have an opinion.  It doesn\u2019t matter what the opinion is. The very fact they\u2019re taking the case undermines it.  Why?  Because Milbank and these people know that this thing is a crock. <\/p>\n<p><img id=\"eZObject_98596\" class=\"aligncenter\" align=\"middle\" src=\"https:\/\/live-rush-limbaugh.pantheonsite.io\/wp-content\/uploads\/ObamaQuoteDoctor2Lies2.jpg\"\/><BR\/>Gruber and everybody lied about it. They created a bunch of falsehoods in it.  It\u2019s unsupportable economically.  The American people don\u2019t want it! But that doesn\u2019t matter to them.  They want it.  They want you subjected to it, subordinated to it &#8212; and the very idea that the court\u2019s gonna look at it again is just gonna create (in the minds of all these stupid Americans) the idea that something\u2019s wrong with the law, and we can\u2019t have that. <\/line><\/p>\n<p>&#8220;We\u2019ve gotta get people finally accepting this and ignoring this and moving on to other things! The more attention on Obamacare, the greater the opportunity everybody\u2019s gonna find out the fraud that is in it.&#8221;  That\u2019s why they\u2019re quaking today. Just the fact that the case is being accepted, taken up by the court, has got them scared to death.  And it has them scared because they know what a house of cards this thing is, folks.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Peter in Reno, Nevada, heading back to the phones.
