There have of course already been a number of videos in which Obamacare “architect” Jonathan Gruber has said that a lack of transparency was a political asset in selling Obamacare to “stupid” voters.

The video below, shared by CNN’s Jake Tapper, is a little different. In the 2012 OFA campaign message, Gruber is featured prominently as one of the people who helped Mitt Romney develop health care reform in Massachusetts “before going down to Washington to help President Obama develop his national version of that law”:

The White House and other Democrats are now attempting to distance themselves from Gruber, which means they might be forced to debunk Obama’s own “Truth Team.”

@jaketapper @johndickerson yes, wish I had found that myself. Fascinating to watch now.

@GlennKesslerWP @jaketapper @johndickerson Not to overstate the obvious, imagine if our MSM had vetted ACA in '09. https://t.co/v66aDxWGC3
