What a fairy pajama boy appears to be.

His hands look like they’ve never done any man’s work. Never did any plumbing, electrical, carpentry, metal work, logging, hunting, fishing, not even hauling or heavy lifting.

If pajama boy is what team 0bama thinks American men are like, they are completely out of touch.

Our Christmas conversation was politics free. It was a memorable day in a soon to be forgotten year.

Nice knowing our warnings and predictions are finally justified in their eyes.

I wonder if any of the women out there would consider a relationship with a “grown man” who presents himself in footsie pajamas and a cup of hot chocolate to spout liberal talking points?

My family is so much behind times (but we’re working to catch up) that we discussed New Deal around the Christmas table.

We didn't talk about Obamacide at dinner, but on the way home, my brother told me he was disgusted with politicians in general and threatened not to vote at all next year. Bro, like most of the rest of the family, votes Dem, so this is a big eyebrow raiser.

Maybe there is a big shift occurring. But I'm not sure this will benefit the Republicans next year. Seems to me that both sides will be taking a hit — not just for Obamacare, but also for the generally sorry state of this nation.

None of the women I know. My knife-toting daughters are tougher than he is.

Maybe he’s a surgeon - or a computer scientist that types on the keyboard all day. I know plenty of manly men that don’t necessarily have hands like plumbers or capenters. I say it’s presumptive to judge a man by his hands. I don’t see anything wrong with his pjs either. What looks bad to me is the way he’s holding his beverage. He’s holding it like a girl would.

Didn’t do much talking while stuffing food in my mouth.

We didn’t have any dissenters at our table. We did have some good jokes at the pretend POTUS’ expense.

I didn’t hear a word about it. At the extended family event, we watched the Lions lose instead.

Subject came up for 2 min or so. EVERYONE panned obozo as president and his ‘healthcare’ as an accomplishment. Some who voted for him cursed their stupidity.

We did. We agreed it will suck. It will destroy the best medical care in the world. Most of the lower and middle class will not have access to anything like world class medical care within 10 years.

Our famous care centers (MD Anderson, Texas Heart, etc) will continue to thrive though. They will make their money serving the wealthy from around the world. When my dad was at Texas Heart my mom felt like she was in the middle east again with all the burka’s, head coverings and other accoutrements of Sharia law.

OK, fair enough. I’m a software engineer and a musician. I’m careful with my hands, but I have callouses and a few scars nonetheless, from all the stuff I do around here on the farm. And there are plenty of masculine guys I know whose hands are a lot less rough than mine.

> I say it’s presumptive to judge a man by his hands.

I’ll cede that point.

It’s his whole body language, everything from the expression on his face onward.

He just strikes me as a fairy.

Certainly not someone who could entice me against my better judgement to rush off and sign up for 0bamacare.

Yes, we did discuss it. Guess how many were for it. Zero for Zero’s deathcare.

General consensus? Everybody hates it.

I think the push by the administration for folks to talk about Obamacare is backfiring. At our home, the discussion between adults from 21 to 93 was all about its flaws and what an overreach it is.

My brother has decided to pay the fine rather then bow.

That was the extent of the discussion.

My father-in-law told me companies have always been required to offer health insurance to anyone working over 30 hrs a week. Is that true?
