What Santorum should have said:
“It is unfortunate that the president has seen fit to stoke the fires of racial division in this unfortunate event, and even more so, that he has done so before a complete investigation has been made.
“It is the job of the chief executive, both personally and among his cabinet, to faithfully uphold the law, neither to commit criminal acts nor allow them to be committed for whatever ends. If he is intemperate or permits the law to be unfairly enforced or prejudiced, or makes an effort to bias the law with favoritism, he has failed in his duties.”
He should have called you first.
