liberalsarecool: “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.” - President Obama, 2009 State of the Union Rick Santorum twists this call for personal responsibility and a better future into his ultra-cynical “what a snob” political smear against Obama. Rick has a BA, a MBA, and a Law Degree. His two eldest kids are in college. What a classic Epic Fail! Rick Santorum calls Obama a “snob” for wanting more children to go to college, to save money on going to college, when Santorum HIMSELF went to THREE colleges and universities. So, I guess, to the Republicans, helping people save money on going to college and helping them better their lives is considered “snobbish.” If that makes me a snob, then, hell yes, I am a snob that wants people to live better lives.
