How many families discussed Obamacare at their Christmas gatherings?

'Twas the day of Christmas amidst holiday cheer,

Aunt Ruth with her pie and Uncle Ned with his beer,

They all knew that Saint Nicholas had been there,

When all of a sudden somebody mentions Obamacare.

[NEMDF]

YAY FOR YOU! Sounds like it was a good Christmas!

We discussed it at Christmas dinner. We made jokes about it and discussed the total failure of everything progressives have done EVER.

I also reminded everyone how in 1994, they all made fun of me for being the only conservative at the table.

My parents were FDR and JFK Democrats.
My brother was a recent college graduate. Nuff said.
My sister was a “compassionate” liberal. He husband was a New England Democrat.
My brother’s fiancee was a “compassionate” liberal and recent college grad.
My wife voted Republican, but didn’t really care one way or the other.

Clinton converted my brother and parents to conservative.
Obama converted the rest.

Thanks for overreaching Progressive politicians! It’s nice to go from being the “Right-wing Extremist” at Christmas to being the “Elder Conservative”.

Personally, I was rather amazed that no one expressed an "Hey, wait a minute! He's our president!"

There is nothing but universal disgust when it comes to Barry Hussein.

We had a wonderful time talking about what a joke it was and other things about the Pajama Boy Chief!

I would bet more people discussed impeachment

We were sitting around the Christmas tree, about to open presents, when suddenly this strange looking man in pajamas came downstairs and started yapping about Obamacare. We tied him up, blindfolded him, threw him in the back of the pickup, and drove 20 miles away after which we dumped him into the woods on a remote dirt road.

My point exactly. Most people I thought would not give a flip about talking about politics were the ones who had a lot to say.

I think Obama has jumped the shark.

[Peter W. Kessler]

No one raised the subject.

All were allowed to finish their dinner and stay for dessert.

[Bryanw92]

>>I think Obama has jumped the shark.

I agree. People ARE talking, and for the first time, they are listening to what the conservative at the table has to say. And they’re remembering that he’s been saying it for long before Obama ever crawled out of his hole in Chicago.

[aruanan]

I am not sure that’s a man.

[Revolting cat!]

Is PJ Boy on suicide watch yet?

[Patriotic1]

Ceaseless ridicule since most of us are conservatives.

[Doogle]

bttt for later

A thread for your reading pleasure.

The combination of the disastrous rollout of HealthCare.gov and the poor treatment of the main star of Duck Dynasty made a lot of liberals extremely defensive recently. My brother's family won't broach the subject of Obamacare for lots of obvious reasons!

[FlingWingFlyer]

We spent a couple of minutes when somebody brought up the dildo in the plaid onesies. Everyone had a good laugh and we moved on to something else.

[Sirius Lee]

The dog ate some cheese and farted so I guess that counts.

[Tax-chick]

I don’t think the subject came up for us. It was more, “Who ate the last of the mashed potatoes? James, sit down before you flip the table over! Oh, freep, get the dog out of here!”

[bravo whiskey]

i told my frau “we are suppose to discuss obamacare. it sucks. any comment?” “no.” end of doscussion.

[upchuck]

Seeing as how all of my family are born, hard core Conservatives, nobamacare didn’t come up at all except in a snarky comment or as sarcasm.
