“This campaign is going to deal with many complicated issues, but there is a basic choice that we’re going to face,” Mitt Romney told voters after winning the Wisconsin primary in April. “The president has spent the last four years laying the foundation for a new government-centered society. I will spend the next four years rebuilding the foundation of a opportunity society led by free people and free enterprises.”
It is not often that a presidential campaign goes out of its way to confirm an opponent’s narrative of the election, but President Obama’s re-election team did exactly that last Thursday. They released a 14-page slide show titled “The Life of Julia.” Each slide documents a phase of a fictional and faceless women’s life that shows how Obama is trying to create a cradle-to-grave welfare state, just as Romney warned.
