The Life of Julia

. . . If you had to stifle a guffaw, you're not alone.

Yes, the Obama Administration's policies alone can be the savior for American children everywhere - all it takes, apparently, are piles and piles of taxpayer money thrown around recklessly. And by the end, children will still be able to retire and live comfortably on the totally-stable programs of Medicare and Social Security!

The dream that Obama has for Julia's life is scary. There was a time that the "cradle-to-grave" formulation of the welfare state was disparaging. President Obama takes pride in having the governemnt's fingers pushing Julia along at every stage of her life. This is the fantasyland that the Obama Administration is living in - absolutely no mention of the unprecedented debt and deficit that the government has racked up in the last four years and the effect that will have on the economy as the next generation comes of age.

Julia is as real as obama's girlfriends.

To obama, people are just very lifelike blow up dolls.

Exactly!

To obama, people are just very lifelike blow up dolls.

Then I'd suggest he let some air out of Michelle's balloon rear end.

Have you picked up on it yet?

In order for obama to take care of Julia for her entire life and make sure she is working that community garden in her retirement, he must be dictator for the whole of Julia's life. There is no expectation that Julia will ever know anything but obama's protection.

 

[RoadVirus]

Wow...."life of Julia". That was actually brilliant yet still pathetic.

It might as well have been simply this: This is Julia. Under Obama, Julia can live her entire life with her mouth at the government tit. Under Romney, Julia will actually have to work for things.

Who the hell is "Julia," and why am I paying for her whole life?

It is also a mindset that women should find offensively patronizing. When they're old enough, I hope my two daughters will find the notion that their success hinges on the president's views on college-loan interest rates preposterous. Yet, according to the "Life of Julia," women are helpless without the guiding hand of Barack Obama.

Julia can enroll in a Head Start program to help get her ready for school. Because of steps President Obama has taken to improve the program … Julia can take the SATs because she was trained by the useless “Race to the Top” program, yes, implemented by President Obama … During college, Julia undergoes surgery, which is thankfully covered by her insurance due to parents' coverage until she turns 26 … thanks to Obama.

Julia works as a full-time web designer, and thanks to Obamacare, her health insurance is required to cover birth control and preventive care, "letting Julia focus on her work rather than worry about her health..."

...because children are bad for your health, obviously.

And so on and so forth.

Julia then has a son named Zachary (who has no father around, as far as I can tell) and we can start the entire storyline again.

Finally, Julia retires. “After years of contributing to Social Security, she receives monthly benefits that help her retire comfortably, without worrying that she'll run out of savings...

This allows her to volunteer at a community garden.”

A friend at work today sent the link to me today....quite a story!
And people are going to believe this crap!

 

[CrusaderFrank]

That's what Obama meant by 'transforming America"

The Progressives won the war on American civilization without firing a shot. Well done, Vlad. Well done

 

[NLT]

They gonna get them some obama bucks for life.

 

[whitehall]

"Julia" is another left wing propaganda effort by the Barry Brigade that backfired. It shows that the administration is so full on in-bred socialists who feed off each other that they aren't even aware how offensive their agenda is.

 

[Stephanie]

People should be appalled by this ad..

But finally Obama's TRUE colors are coming through.

 

[Vel]

Even worse, it probably never once crossed "Julia's" mind that this nation was founded on self-reliance and integrity. No one will have ever told her to reach for the stars.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Julia loved Big Brother

 

[Jackson]

My story would be Angela who would have a dream of education and earning her way to the top. She would be determined to be the best she could be at motherhood and having a career with a good husband by her side.

She would be dreaming of her children's future of not living in a world of deficits and paying for the past mistakes of administrations who entitlements drowned the country in debt. It would be a future where credit could be given to worthy individuals who earned a living with standards of paying their debts and living in comforts they earned on their own.

Julia: It's pronounced "Who-Lia". She is also an illegal immigrant.

 

[Ed Spacer]

This boils me to no bitter end...

 

[bucs90]

Julia being carried by the govt through her whole life is more noble (in a liberals view) than Joe who had parents who saved money in their life to set him up for success and pay for his college and give him a job in the family business.

Julia: Patriot.
Joe: Evil rich kid.

 

[CrusaderFrank]

Now you see why Neo-Marxists like Rdean think the President runs their lives
