Rick Santorum says President Obama is a "snob" for wanting everyone to go to college



Rick Santorum criticized President Barack Obama's call for all Americans to go to college in a speech to the Americans For Prosperity Michigan Forum.

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob," Santorum said, to raucous applause from the audience.

An indignant Santorum continued: "There are good decent men and women, who go out everyday to put their skills to test that aren't taught by some liberal college professor trying to indoctrinate them. I understand why he wants you to go to college — he wants to remake you in his image. I want to create jobs so people can remake their children into their image, not his."

This from a man who has a B.A., M.B.A. and J.D — more than that “snob” President Obama.

God forbid someone aspire to higher learner so they might improve their lives.

Statistic show, over and over again, that those who go to college and earn a degree earn more income and do better in the work force.

How can anyone say aspiring to going to college makes you a snob?

And by the way, remember Rick Santorum doesn't like divisive politics - even though he's now doing some class warfare himself by drawing a line between those who go to college and those who don't.

Just saying...

  1. Also, this is The President's ACTUAL position:

    "In an increasingly competitive world economy, America’s economic strength depends upon the education and skills of its workers. In the coming years, jobs requiring at least an associate degree are projected to grow twice as fast as those requiring no college experience. To meet this economic imperative, President Barack Obama asks every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training and set a new national goal: by 2020, America will once again have the highest proportion of college graduates in the world."

    What a snob, eh?
