"The campaign sent supporters an interactive tool -- named "The Life of Julia" -- that spotlights differences between the two candidates. "The tool tracks how President Obama and Mitt Romney's policies will affect Julia, a typical middle-class woman, at each step in her life -- from early childhood, through her school years, until she has a child of her own, starts a business and retires," the campaign says. The issues range "from equal pay for equal work to expanding access to quality, affordable health care, child care and education," it adds."
AP: "The 10-year security compact that President Barack Obama signed with Afghan President Hamid Karzai contains promises the United States and Afghanistan cannot guarantee they will keep, and loopholes for both nations. The deal signed Tuesday also allows either nation to walk away on a year's notice. That could allow the next U.S. president, or the next Afghan leader, to scuttle a deal negotiated by his or her predecessor."

Julia is a made up woman, a fiction. A "composite".
Kind of like the girlfriends Obama wrote about in his autobiography!
Fictional as the jobs created by the failed Obama stimulus.
Fictional as the "success" of Obama's economic policy.
Fictional as MSNBC's journalistic objectivity.

Are you proud of making $hit up? Does it satisfy you little ego?
got proof?

I will give you a half a point on this one because we all know that MSNBC leans somewhat left but compared to Faux News "standards", MSNBC is considered objective.
I've asked this of you before but for some reason, I have not gotten an answer. Please show me what the Republican Party - especially Romney - has done or is planning to do for women in this country.
I won't hold my breath, I guess....
Dufus,
When you write your own biography, as a friend of mine - as well as her father - just did, it is normal practice to change the names and exact details about your friends. And enemies, because you don't want a law suit or for them to be hounded.
Introducing the element of fiction is normal as well. It depends on style and is personal as with any art form. There are no rules for that.
Folks who become famous usually aren't expecting it. They aren't planning for folks like who you get ALL bent out of shape because names, ranks and numbers are not in there - just to satisfy your need to criticize no matter what.
Bob in virginia is like the entire republican party. No credibility. Not an american amoung em. What a disgrace to this country. Have to be a self polarized idiot to ever belong to the party at this point, let alone vote for one.
I find "Julia" an interesting choice of names.
From Wikipedia:
Julia is an American sitcom notable for being one of the first weekly series to depict an African American woman in a non-stereotypical role.
Ran in the late 60's early 70's.
Coincidence?
Let's see...hmm..."coincidence"...
Julia Roberts, Julia Stiles, Julia Ceasarus, Julia Child, Julia Glass, Julia London.
Pink Floyd's Julia Dreams, Julia Stegner, the Julia in "1984".
Julia Gillard, Julia Ormond.
Very good White Collar - I was thinking of the same character when I heard the name Julia - but I was thinking - single,career woman raising a child on her own as opposed to the females in the sitcoms that were produced during that era where the woman was not an independent thinker.
I rather think they hit the right "demographic" with that name - single,middle class, college educated, career woman.
Looks like WhiteCollarCriminal has focused his little mind on the next shiny nickel...
It would seem that the Democrats have abandoned the ideals of JFK and "ask not what your country can do for you, but what you can do for your country." Julia seems to be a blueprint for how to get the government to nanny women. They can't possibly manage on their own without all these special programs. As a women, I cannot help but feel offended. Equal opportunity employment has been law for a long time, but is seldom investigated and enforced. Why should I believe that more laws and executive orders will make any more difference. Back in the 1970's, my Mom as a professional woman working in a major international corporation was earning about 1/3 of what her male counterparts received. Based upon recent data....In forty years time, that has only increased to 2/3rds-Way to go looking, out for women!
Why would he Obama campaign do a Romney campaign ad? Do they really think Americans want life-long cradle-to-grave government intervention in their lives? They obviously think most Americans can't make it in life without Obama holding their hands all day all night all year, every year.
This Julia is voting for Obama. Can you blame her? Hell no! Rummey the Dummy would have her barefoot and pregnant, and tied to the kitchen table. No sane woman could cast a vote to set them back in time!
Obama is the ONLY choice this november!
D: 100% agree!
I understood that Julia was to represent a professional woman who was also a single parent.....doesn't that require being pregnant????
Not necessarily does Julia need to get pregnant. She could likely get a surrogate paid for by Obama.
Really, "The Dummy" and "Idiot" all I ever read coming from the left wings are name callings. Come up with some cogent thoughts without the need to degrade and you may come off sincere.
My mom always said if you have to resort to name calling, you aren't worth listening to. I hope she is right and that someday we can all talk about the important stuff that is harming this country.
Stop being a squeeky wheel and start contributing with some real grease!
but you mom never taught you that lying is wrong, too? Any comments on Bob in Virginia post that is 100% lies?
JeffWood's ethics:
Calling someone "Dummy" = bad
Lying = no comment.
Prez-0 has increased the National Debt by 50% in the first 39 months in office through his unchecked / unfunded spending policies.
...and that's a fact.
