Rick Santorum thinks President Obama is a snob for wanting Americans to go to college.
Santorum wants to create jobs so that people can remake their children in their own image. While you do want your children to adopt your positive characteristics, everyone knows that trying to make your children grow up to fit some ideal persona that you have in mind for them can be disastrous. For all of Santorum's questioning of the President's theology, what he just said is heresy. Our children are made in God's image, not our own.
