LOL and this would come as a shock for what reason? Who has he admitted into his inner sanctum of “advisors” that have completed a complete FBI vetting process. Ironically, Obama could not pass one if he tried. Who among them are not tax cheats, socialists, Marxists, common street thugs? They were vetted by the FBI? Don’t believe so. Interestingly all queries on this topic have been scrubbed by Google. Random thoughts while observing the passing parade, J.C.

MIT economist Jonathan Gruber, one of the leading academic defenders of health care reform, is taking heat for failing to disclose consistently that he was under contract with the Department of Health and Human Services while he was touting the Democrats’ health proposals in the media.
Gruber, according to federal government documents, is under a $297,600 contract until next month to provide “technical assistance” in evaluating health care reform proposals. He was under a $95,000 HHS contract before that.
But while he was being paid to provide his services to HHS, he was also fending off health care reform critics in the media. Gruber was one of the prominent analysts to rebut an insurance industry report from PricewaterhouseCoopers in October saying premiums would shoot up if a health care bill passes. And he has recently written columns defending specific provisions in the House and Senate bills, particularly the “Cadillac tax” on high-cost insurance plans. Complete Story
