From: http://www.washingtonpost.com/blogs/the-fix/wp/2014/11/13/nancy-pelosi-says-she-doesnt-know-who-jonathan-gruber-is-she-touted-his-work-in-2009/

Nancy Pelosi says she doesn’t know who Jonathan Gruber is. She touted his work in 2009.

House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.) said Thursday that, not only did Jonathan Gruber not play a significant role in drafting Obamacare, but that she doesn't even "know who he is."

Pelosi on Gruber: "I don't know who he is. He didn't help write our bill."

— Sean Sullivan (@WaPoSean) November 13, 2014

In 2009:
...
We're not finished getting all of our reports back from CBO, but we'll have a side by side to compare. But our bill brings down rates. I don't know if you have seen Jonathan Gruber of MIT's analysis of what the comparison is to the status quo versus what will happen in our bill for those who seek insurance within the exchange. And our bill takes down those costs, even some now, and much less preventing the upward spiral.

I'd like to know as well. Anyone else would be better. Probably has to do with the stupid false dichotomy of dems vs repubs, the partisan hackery and cheerleading. Not to mention the insider trading. But hey - yay democrats! ;)

That's probably the only reason. John Dennis is supposedly a pretty neat guy who is also socially liberal. Hope someday San Franciscans will wake up.

She has a a nice mansion in SF on broadway from imposing taxes on the wage slaves while making money with insider trading.

Not the biggest fan of Dennis (because he went the "no crimes were committed" route wrt the 2008 crisis) but the alternatives are worse.

And, San Franciscans are too busy coding.

Pelosi blew JFK.

What can you say, it imbedded her in the liberal Democratic pantheon forever, she can sleaze any way she wants.

a professional politician with the Democratic party tag and a liar to boot.

Isn't the lying part what qualifies them to be IN the Dem party?

And the Republicans are all what, pure as snow? You are splashing around a lot of paint with that brush CIC.

Just read the posts at Patnet from the people who live in that area, that should tell you all you need to know!

Care to expand or summarize what it is we should know?

It must be so comforting to be able to compartmentalize and classify things so neatly in your little world : a bias for everything and everything in its perfectly fitting CIC world view niche.

If you're going to try and defend and support Pelosi

Where is my moderate Republican alternative? Not a defense, for a true career politician, but there isn't much better alternative being offered up.

The polarization trend continues. You ever do a little introspection and wonder why?

I know I do.

Politicians don't "forget", they "misremember."
