Jay Carney: Jon Gruber "speaks from the Ivory Tower with remarkable hubris"

JAY CARNEY, CNN SENIOR POLITICAL COMMENTATOR: It’s not good, Jake. It’s doesn’t help when someone who help write not only Obamacare, the president’s Affordable Care Act, but also the precursor to it, which was Governor Romney’s health care reform initiative in Massachusetts.

You know, speaks from the Ivory Tower with remarkable hubris about the American voter and by extension the American Congress. The fact is that any health care reform that sought to control costs and expand insurance would involve winners and losers.

And that’s always going to be the case. That’s certainly the case, to speak that way, very harmful politically to the president.
