Julia and Obama

The Obama campaign has made an absolutely horrendous mistake.

It's called "The Life of Julia."



From the New York Times:

Mr. Obama’s campaign has invented “Julia,” a fictional woman whose life is chronicled in a slick infographic published on the campaign’s Web site on Thursday. Visitors to the site can watch as Julia grows up, receiving benefits from the president’s policies along the way.

At age 3, Julia is enrolled in Head Start programs, thanks to Mr. Obama. By 22, she’s covered by her parents’ health care because of Mr. Obama’s health reforms. At 42, she’s getting a small-business loan from the government. When she reaches 67, she’s retired and drawing Social Security benefits.

But if the campaign hoped to put a personal face on the president’s accomplishments, it has also managed to provoke a fury among conservatives, who took to Twitter to mock Julia and to condemn the implication that the fictional young woman should be dependent on government policies throughout her life.

...The graphic — titled “The Life of Julia” — includes criticism of Mr. Romney’s positions. At each stage of life, the slide show suggests that Julia would be worse off if Mr. Romney were in charge.

“Under the Romney/Ryan budget, interest rates on federal student loans would be allowed to double, affecting Julia and 7.4 million other students,” the graphic says when Julia turns 25.

...Kara Carscaden, a spokeswoman for Mr. Obama, said “Julia” shows women “the clear contrast between the President’s and Mitt Romney’s visions.” She said the graphic will help voters understand those differences.

...A spokeswoman for Mr. Romney assailed the Julia graphic as evidence that Mr. Obama’s policies had failed women.

“Each night, too many women go to sleep wondering if they can pay the mortgage, if they can afford to put food on the table, and if their children will have a job after graduating from college,” said Amanda Henneberg, the spokeswoman. “They deserve a president who will focus on getting America back on track.”

"Julia" is the perfect spokeswoman for Obama's vision for America - complete and utter dependence on the government.

It's an infographic of the real War on Women.

Obama depicts "Julia's" inadequacies and inabilities. "Julia" is a sad, pathetic character. The poor thing has no face. She's not an individual. She's one of the masses, a statistic. In effect, she's a nobody. Faceless.

"Julia" as the child, the teen, the young woman, the worker, the mother, the elderly woman is shown as a dependent rather than a strong, rugged individualist. She seems weak, tied to the government every step of her life.

"Julia" doesn't live the American Dream. She's a slave.

What's especially weird about the "Julia" saga is that Obama is claiming to take care of the helpless "Julia" long after Obama will be out of office and long after he'll be dead. His impact on "Julia" is exaggerated to say the least.

There is nothing good about "The Life of Julia."

It displays a life of dependence. There is no one in "Julia's" life, other than the Obama government, who plays a role in her success and well-being. Very weird.

All the people left out of "Julia's" life are significant. The only figure that matters is the great and all-powerful Obama. It's about government control, not freedom.

It's truly bizarre.

"Julia" illustrates precisely why we need change and why we must reject Obama's vision to transform the country.

The way I interpret it, the path of "Julia's" life actually plays out to encourage Americans to vote for Mitt Romney, rather than hang with Obama.

"The Life of Julia" creeps me out.

It's like propaganda from the dark side of the Iron Curtain.
