Politico caught carrying the ACA water

Back in July Politico wrote that Gruber as the chief architect of OBamacare:

[QUOTEThe Flip-Flopping Architect of the ACA

Last week, the D.C. Circuit ruled that the Obama administration has been implementing Obamacare illegally. Days later, a video featuring the law’s chief architect confirmed the court’s ruling and raised questions about whether administration officials knew they were breaking the law all along

Of course now Politico has a different take:

GRUBERGATE: WAS HE CHIEF ARCHITECT? — Nobody much cared how much credit Jonathan Gruber took for Obamacare — until now. Once videos surfaced in which the MIT economist talked about the public’s “stupidity,” his claims suddenly matter a lot. Conservatives are using the controversy to show that Democrats knew the law was terrible all along. Democrats are miffed that Gruber has portrayed himself as the “architect” of Obamacare. There’s no doubt he played a valued role as the ACA was being crafted. But it’s also true that he was more of a scorekeeper than an actual creator of the law. Also, “Gruber” is now a verb.
