    Default "The Life of Julia"

    The Obama campaign has released a flash cartoon called "The Life of Julia" which follows a woman named Julia from age 3 to age 67, showing how Obama administration policies have made her life wonderful and how Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney would change that:

    The whole thing is practically dripping WASP-y limousine liberal condescension. Apparently under Obama everyone's life is perfect, everything they need gets paid for by the government, and no one can't find a job after college or gets laid off or anything like that.

    Not to mention the whole undercurrent is that women are helpless fragile creatures that need a knight in shining armor named Barack Obama to protect and care for them. She doesn't appear to have any family, except a son, whose father appears to be totally absent. She's also - as far as we can tell - not poor at all, which probably reflects the 20-something upper middle class white people who designed this infographic.

    The whole thing is practically begging to be photoshopped, and many are stepping up to the plate:

    Funny thing is:

    "One point jumps out at me from Obama’s “Julia.” Not once in this timeline does Team Obama mention anything about a second Obama term. There isn’t one new policy or proposal in it. For a campaign with the slogan “Forward,” that seems a little odd."

    PS: Is that going to be a new meme?

    On the contrary, Obama appears to be president for at least 64 years of Julia's life...

    This is something I'd expect the North Koreans to kick out for their Dear Leader. To see that kind of behavior active in the US is downright creepy.

    How does one get a degree in computer science but then leave school early to magically become an independant graphic designer making 100k? The two arts don't cross over to each other.

    I call bullshit.

    I like the implication in the photoshops that under Romney noone will be a liberal or a hipster.
