This morning the Obama campaign released a new interactive website titled “A LIFE OF JULIA,” an online interactive tool that allows you to follow 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: You can access the website here.
HIT DOGS WILL HOLLER
Apparently we hit a nerve, because right now Michelle Malkin has been mobilizing her twitter followers into a faux-outrage around this site (who knew that things like making sure insurance companies don’t charge women more, or that preventive care was provided free of charge, or that women are paid fairly were that controversial).
Check out the Hill’s piece on the FAUX- OUTRAGE
Obama “Julia” web tool coruting women draws GOP scorn on Twitter
Excerpt: According to the social networking tracker Topsy, there were thousands of mentions of the “Julia” figure over just two hours Thursday morning. A sampling of some of the conservative criticism:
@michellemalkin
So #julia needed an SBA loan to start a web business? I started three w/o a penny of taxpayer money.#mylife@BarackObama.
Erick Erickson @EWErickson
After growing up under Barack Obama, #Julia has to master the art of Chinese Cooking. 3 May 12 STAY CLASSY CNN CONTRIBUTOR.
Meanwhile, Romney is embracing Michelle Bachman’s endorsement today, is campaigning with Gov. McDonnell, and generally has not been shy about pushing the same economic policies that Bush embraced.
Anyone checked out the interactive tool yet?
when you have nothing to offer, you attack those who point out what you’re lacking.
As Rachel Maddow says…
people say that there is a GOP WAR ON WOMEN…
because the GOP is following POLICIES THAT HURT WOMEN.
They hurt women FINANCIALLY.
they hurt women’s HEALTH.
they hurt women’s FREEDOM AND CHOICES.
When you can’t man up and tell Rush Limbaugh to sit his fat ass down as he insults a student standing up for her rights…
When you can’t man up and say if you would have signed the Lily Ledbetter Act..
When you can’t man up and say if you support Scott Walker’s decision to remove the CHOICE for women to be able to sue if they find out they’ve been discriminated against..
When you won’t come out and say if you support the Equal Pay proposal coming up for a vote in the Senate..
When you come out and say that you support Personhood Amendments that would take away the right to choose and for personal birth control…
When you won’t comment on the transvaginal ultrasound bills coming up around the country…
When you make comments that only RICH WOMEN deserve the chance to stay at home with their children..
When you back a budget that would cut services to the poor, and would LITERALLY take the food out of the mouths of poor women and children…
YOU HAVE A WAR AGAINST WOMEN GOING ON.
So, f-em.
The hit dog is hollering, because they don’t have shyt to offer women, so they attack POTUS and his campaign for pointing out the obvious to women..
For telling women WHO is going to enact and who has enacted policies that SUPPORT WOMEN.
It sure in hell is NOT the Republicans.
TELL.IT.

Post Poll: Obama leads Romney as campaigns converge on Virginia
By Ben Pershingand Jon Cohen, Thursday, May 3, 3:56 PM
President Obama leads former Massachusetts governor Mitt Romney in Virginia but commonwealth voters are evenly divided on the White House’s major policies, a new Washington Post poll shows.
Obama is ahead of Romney, the presumed Republican nominee, 51 percent to 44 percent among registered voters. And Romney does no better against Obama than he did a year ago, despite his emergence as the GOP standard-bearer.
