FREEDOMWORKS

1. Here's How Barack Obama and Jonathan Gruber Deceived Americans Through ObamaCare - by Jason Pye
President Barack Obama sought to further distance the White House from Jonathan Gruber, the MIT professor who helped craft ObamaCare. Current and former White House and administration officials as well as Democratic leaders in Congress have tried downplay Gruber's role in light of at least six videos that have surfaced in the last several days.
Gruber's comments about the deceitful process by which ObamaCare was concocted by himself and the administration as well as his opinions on the intelligence of American voters have been a pretty huge PR problem for the White House, which, last week, told a leftist blog that the MIT economist "did not work in the White House or play the same role in developing the Affordable Care Act." Read more here...

2. Gruber Says Seniors Need Less Choice in Health Care - by Logan Albright
You know what they say you should do when you’re stuck in a hole: stop digging. This is advice that could well have been heeded by ObamaCare Architect Jonathan Gruber, whose repeated comments about the stupidity of the American public and the need to deceive them in order to pass ObamaCare continue to make headline, though not the good kind like you want.
The latest examples comes from a series of presentation slides in which Gruber asserts that seniors “do a terrible job at choosing” their health insurance plans, as a rationale for why such choice should be denied to them. “We have experimented with choice in public insurance: Medicare Part D,” Gruber said, but argued that such choice should not be offered because seniors choose badly. Read more here...

4. Will We Finally Get a Vote on Audit the Fed in the Senate? - by Julie Borowski
Last week, Republicans won control over the Senate in the mid-term elections. I’m personally glad that Harry Reid is no longer Senate Majority Leader but I’m still skeptical on whether Republican leadership will be serious about cutting spending. I hope that they prove me wrong.
However, one thing that I am excited about is a possible vote on auditing the Federal Reserve in the Senate. Read more here...
5. VA Judge: Law Enforcement Can Compel Fingerprint to Unlock Cell Phone - by Tommy Creegan
An interesting ruling regarding cell phone privacy has emerged from a Virginia Circuit Court. Judge Steven Frucci of Virginia’s 2nd Judicial Circuit has ruled that law enforcement can compel someone to unlock his cellphone by fingerprint identification, but cannot compel one to divulge his passcode in order to unlock the device. Read more here...
6. Voters Reject Identity Politics in Midterms - by Deneen Borelli
One of the most encouraging outcomes from the midterm elections was the failure of identity politics.
Despite the best attempts by Democrats to drive blacks and women to the polls with outrageous claims about Republican candidates, their desperate gambit failed.
For example, the race-baiting and accusations of sexism campaign message points from Senator Mary Landrieu (D-LA) were insufficient for her to get fifty percent of the vote. Now she must face challenger Representative Bill Cassidy (R-LA) in a runoff race that will be decided December 6Read more here...
