Obama's quote: "Obama: “And so tonight, I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training. This can be community college or a four-year school; vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high school diploma. And dropping out of high school is no longer an option. It’s not just quitting on yourself, it’s quitting on your country — and this country needs and values the talents of every American.” ...

On the stump Santorum has mischaracterize what Obama said to pander and now it is coming back to bite him.

I will be the first one to expose and recoil at the Left and their Higher Education bastions of liberal thought, their ruinous generational brain-washing our youth, along with their "studies" that the Left uses to drive government regulation overreach and societal degradation. But Santorum play the game of quote cherry picking to demagogue an issue that needs to be addressed but now that opportunity has been hurt.

Santorum's College Lesson "Rick Santorum is stretching his criticism of President Obama's advocacy of universal college attendance into a broader attack on college itself. Santorum has three college degrees, which provides a good indication of how seriously one should take his assault on what he is labeling as Obama's elitism. As with so many of Santorum's statements, this criticism contains a grain of perception smothered in reactionary dogma...."

Yeah, I just saw Chris Wallace take Santorum apart big time. He also defended Obama. This election is over for me. Good luck with a 2nd Obama term Fox.

I saw the interview, and boy, that was a disaster for Santorum. It was as if he was continually receiving jabs to the nose and falling back further with each. Wallace even brought up Santorum’s last several years of tax returns and pointed out that he gave only 1 to 2% to charity. Santorum countered that he has a special needs child, which is a good point, but he then weakly said that he “needed to do better”.

Rick just isn’t smart enough to handle what would be thrown at him in the general election. He’s not battle scared enough. Rick is probably a real nice guy, BUT we need “True Grit Gingrich”. In the face of all opposition, Newt handles every thing that comes up very well.
