THE SEAN HANNITY SHOW

Obama Addresses Controversy As ObamaCare's support sinks to record lows, the administration is doing everything it can to distance itself from the comments of Jonathan Gruber, the MIT professor and architect of ObamaCare who believes the American people to be “stupid.” Brand new Gallup polling shows that just 37% of Americans approve of ObamaCare, which is a record low.  Its disapproval rating hit a record high of 56%.  This comes at a time when open enrollment is starting for the ObamaCare exchanges and the law's chief architect, Jonathan Gruber, has come under fire for exposing the true nature of the bill.  Gruber has expressed, on many occasions, his true feelings about the American people; he believes they are stupid.  And he explains that they relied on this “stupidity” in order to pass ObamaCare. The comments have surfaced and been circulating for at least a week.  In typical Obama fashion, he claimed on Sunday that he had just heard about Gruber's comments.  On the one hand, this doesn't surprise me because that is Obama's typical line: “I just heard about this” or “I heard about it in the news, just like you.”  But on the other hand, the mainstream media hasn't exactly ran with Gruber's comments.  If Obama had been watching Fox News or listening to talk radio, he would know what Gruber said. Making matters worse, Obama told Fox News' Ed Henry the following: “The fact that some adviser who never worked on our staff expressed an opinion that I've completely disagreed with in terms of the voters, is no reflection on the actual process that was run.” The problem is that this is an obfuscation of the truth.  Either someone did not brief Obama properly on this issue or he is manipulating his words to essentially lie to the American people, yet again. Technically, Gruber is not a staff member of the Obama administration, however he was hired by the administration and paid a lot of money by the taxpayers in order to consult and write ObamaCare.  Adding up his different contracts with the government, Gruber has earned hundreds of thousands of dollars working on ObamaCare.  And, according to an interview with Gruber himself, he met with Obama in the White House to discuss parts of ObamaCare! While Democrats like Barack Obama and Nancy Pelosi claim that they don't know who this guy is, they were pretty eager to tout his expertise years ago. What's happening here is yet another cover-up, more lies, being told to the American people in order for the Obama administration to try and avoid yet another scandal.  He should know by now that the backpeddling makes matters worse, not better. Another Beheading ISIS has beheaded another American, according to a video released over the weekend.  This tragedy makes us wonder whether the Obama administration's strategy to “defeat” and “destroy” ISIS is working. American aid worker Peter Kassig, 26, was a former Army Ranger.  He was captured last year delivering aid to Syrian refugees as their civil war raged on.  The Wall Street Journal reports, “Mr. Kassig converted to Islam and adopted the name Abdul Rahman, Arabic for 'servant of the merciful.' He prayed and fasted during the holy month of Ramadan, according to fellow Western captives who were freed by Islamic State after their governments paid ransoms to the group, according to reports from friends.” Kassig is now the third American would has been beheaded by the radical Islamic organization.  Our thoughts and prayers are with Kassig's family and friends...continue reading
