Ex-Obama Aide Demolishes NY Times Claim that Gruber’s Role was ‘Limited’ - The MIT economics professor, who also met directly with President Obama, was paid hundreds of thousands of dollars for his work on Obamacare, while his firm secured millions in federal and state contracts. This represents just one of a series of clumsy attempts on behalf of both the administration and Obama-aligned media outlets to downplay the significance of Gruber’s role in helping to mastermind Obamacare. On Sunday, Obama himself attempted to diffuse the controversy by claiming that he barely knew Gruber and that the MIT professor was “some adviser who never worked on our staff.” However, a clip surfaced yesterday of Obama giving a presentation at the Brookings Institute during which the president acknowledged that he had “stolen ideas liberally” from “Jon Gruber”.
