The Pajama Boy White House
National Review ^ | May 17, 2016 | Victor Davis Hanson

Posted on 05/23/2016 4:51:45 PM PDT by Clintonfatigued

During the showdown over Obamacare, the pro-Obama PAC Organizing for Action put out an ad now known as “Pajama Boy.” It showcased a young fellow in thick retro-rimmed glasses, wearing black-and-red plaid children’s-style pajamas, and sipping from a mug, with a sort of all-knowing expression on his face. The text urged: “Wear pajamas. Drink hot chocolate. Talk about getting health insurance. #GetTalking.” Most men in Dayton or Huntsville do not lounge around in the morning in their pajamas, with or without built-in footpads, drinking hot chocolate and scanning health-insurance policies. That our elites either think they do, or think the few that matter do, explains why a nation $20 trillion in debt envisions the battle over transgender restrooms as if it were Pearl Harbor.

Pajama Boy really made an impression, but not in the way Obama supporters intended.

This is the thing about Obama and his supporters. They excel in political theory and voting habits, but know absolutely nothing about the lives and hopes of real people.

Where did we go wrong? When Jimmy Carter created the Department of Education, which nationalized all the public schools. The lefties (i.e. the “Progressives”) of the 1960s and 1970s mostly went for Education degrees, and took over the public schools, and emasculated two generations of young men.

No question the parents deserve some of the blame.

Henry Erwin was only 23 when an unfortunate encounter with a white-phosphorus marking bomb led to him being awarded a Medal of Honor within a week.

In a case of life imitating art, Ethan Krupp, the Organizing for Action employee who posed for the ad, offered a self-portrait of himself that confirmed the photo image. He is a self-described “liberal f***.” “A liberal f*** is not a Democrat, but rather someone who combines political data and theory, extreme leftist views, and sarcasm to win any argument while making the opponents feel terrible about themselves,” he explains. “I won every argument but one.” I suspect that when Krupp boasts about “making opponents feel terrible about themselves,” he is referring to people of his own kind rather than trying such verbal intimidation on the local mechanic or electrician.

Uhhh...yeah.

I'm in the building trades.

Sarcasm is our primary language.

The universal motto on a job site is "leave your feelings at the gate".

Something says that pajama boy never argued with someone who would have simply back handed his shiznit into next week, rather than listen to his bullshiite.

"Yeah PJ, tell me how you made that 280# construction worker feel terrible."

Gruber specifically said the bill (Obamacare) obfuscated mandate not as tax, yet Justice Roberts put it back in as tax and thus constitutional. And now here we are.

Make sure when you think of an image of 'Pajama Boys', you include those two.

The problem nowadays is that everyone is too afraid to take pajama boys/girls outside and beat them so badly that they need to recover in a hospital
