WASHINGTON — The videos Democrats never wanted to see keep coming.

A day after President Obama tried to distance himself from a top health-care architect who said voter “stupidity” led to ObamaCare’s passage, a video surfaced of Obama praising the offensive professor for his bright ideas.

The Washington Free Beacon uncovered a video from 2006 of Obama telling a Brookings Institution panel he had “stolen ideas liberally” from MIT professor Jonathan Gruber.

Then-Sen. Obama praised Gruber and other academic and policy experts as the “brightest minds.”

Gruber, a top architect of ObamaCare and Massachusetts’ RomneyCare, has been under fire for a series of videos in which he credits a “lack of transparency” and the “stupidity of the American voter” for pushing through the federal health plan.

Another unearthed video shows Gruber bragging in 2012 that the “dirty secret” to former Gov. Mitt Romney’s health-care plan was that Sen. Ted Kennedy and “smart people of Massachusetts basically figured out a way to sort of rip off the feds for about $400 million a year.”
