Obama Promises Women A Lifetime Of Dependence
IBD Editorials ^ | May 3, 2012

Election 2012: The Obama campaign website has a feature that's supposed to show how his policies will help a fictional "Julia" during her life. What it really shows is Obama's vision of cradle-to-grave government dependency.

The campaign's "Life of Julia" interactive feature tries to depict how Obama would help, and Romney would hurt, women in America.

It's so ridiculously amateurish, you have to wonder who's in charge of the $170 million the campaign has spent.

Still, it provides a window into Obama's warped worldview — one in which everything good that happens in America is due to some federal program or other.

Julia, for example, gets a good start on education only because of Head Start, and does well on her SATs only because of Obama's education programs.

She manages to get into college thanks to still more federal help. And when she gets a job, she can "focus on her work" because under ObamaCare "health insurance is required to cover birth control."

The feature goes on until, after Julia spends the rest of her career dependent on government, Social Security lets "her retire comfortably, without worrying that she'll run out of savings."

That's Obama's vision, anyway. Here's what Julia's life will really be like under his policies:

“Julia” perfectly encapsulates the left-liberal vision: everyone should be dependent on the state. Lord knows, no Americans succeeded at anything before FDR started the welfare state. Why, Americans were always too weak and stupid to do anything for themselves. Is this really how libs look at their own country..their own citizens? What a mean, pitiful, hopeless outlook to have.

The evolution of Julia reminded me of hacking someone's poster. That white space on the right was just begging for the next step in human evolution.
