Obama Throws Pajama Boy Under the Bus

December 23, 2013

by Daniel Greenfield

I never liked you anyway

Alas poor Pajama Boy, dedicated OFA volunteer, there’s no one that Obama won’t throw under the bus. Including you.

They seem to have just thought of this in the past 24 hours — see, they didn’t really think Pajamaboy was cool or anything. They actually intended Pajamaboy to be a negative image, like “This is what people who don’t sign up with Obamacare look like.”

So they’re now claiming — like, two weeks too late for this to be plausible — that Pajamaboy was always intended as the Goofus, not as the Gallant, of health insurance status.

“Don’t be this guy sitting around in his pajamas,” a Democratic official told First Read said of the message, who requested anonymity to talk freely. “Have a conversation, and get health care. And it’s poking fun at that” idea of doing nothing.

They used Pajamaboy a lot, over the course of two months, in various OFA “get enrolled” messages. In none of these messages did they signal that Pajamaboy was the guy you don’t want to be.

But even Pajamaboy — even Pajamaboy!!! — gets thrown under the bus by Obama when his polls go down.

The actual ad had a pretty simple message…

“How do you plan to spend the cold days of December? Wear pajamas. Drink hot chocolate. Talk about getting health insurance.”

If there was any doubt whatsoever that Obama Inc. was trying to say that only talking about insurance and not getting it was a bad thing, the hashtag for the whole thing is #GetTalking.

Pajama Boy is the hot chocolate drinking, pajama wearing, ObamaCare talking poster man-child for ObamaCare.

Now this doesn’t really matter. The ad strategy behind Pajama Boy is a small thing compared to millions of people losing their health insurance due to ObamaCare, but it shows that Obama Inc. is run by compulsive liars who lie casually, frequently and shamelessly.

Not just about the big things… but about the little ones too.

Duh?

“I don’t own underwear but you don’t see me announcing it to the world.”

Are you kin(related) to JRandomFreeper? He never met a pair of pants he liked.

Pajama boy has his own line of Duck Gear:

Dah!

The whole Pajamaboy episode is essentially a less lethal retake of Benghazi.

Put the news out with a straight face, then in response to the general uproar announce the most implausible explanation [a) Internet Video b) We were actually trolling conservatives.] When that gets laughed out of the room, pretend you knew what everybody else knew all along [a) we always said it was terrorism b) We always said Pajamaboy was a loser.]

In six months the under-secretary equivalent of Susan Rice will be making the rounds telling everyone that the whole 0bamacare advertising debacle is a "manufactured crisis."

As long as we're hybridizing memes...

Ya know you gotta feel sorry for the poor ba$7@&d. From total obscurity to the laughingstock of the interwebs. He will forever be known as Pajama Boy.

[FredZarguna]

Don’t feel sorry for him at all. He’s a career leftist puke, OFA volunteer.

[Lurkina.n.Learnin]

You have a point but hopefully he will outgrow his youthful indiscretion.

A copy of that is taped to the office wall. PJ boy is not checked.

I don’t own a pair of pajama’s ,but if I did they wouldn’t be one piece flannel, by the way do those have footies? I be they do.

[Howie66]

Drugs.

[TigersEye]

Very good dissection. That’s exactly what it is.

[Revolting cat!]

I imagine that after a full week of relentless nationwide abuse, Ethan Krupp (as that is Pajama Boy’s name, though his lack of familial relationship to the German WWII war machine industrial power has not been ascertained at press time, and I imagine that the poor schlemazel (Yiddish word, but let’s make an exception and apply it to a Kraut just once, noting that schlemazol is the one on whom beer is spilt, while schlemiel, think of, say, Phil Richardson, is the one who spilled the beer, though in this case it wasn't Phil who spilled it on Ethan), as I said, I imagine he must be under the care of a qualified psychiatric professional.

I don’t own a pair of pajama’s ,but if I did they wouldn’t be one piece flannel, by the way do those have footies? I be they do.

If he doesn't have footies, I'll bet he has Stompeez

[Rides_A_Red_Horse]

It seems you just did...

[FredZarguna]

When he does, he’ll have my sympathy. Not before.

[50mm]

I don’t own underwear ...

Don't you have chafing issues, especially when the cold weather hits? Curious Prurient minds want need to know.
