Rick Santorum: Obama Is 'A Snob'

Rick Santorum took a swipe at the president's higher education push on Saturday.

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college," Santorum said. "What a snob.?

The GOP candidate was speaking to a crowd of Tea Party activists in Troy, Michigan.

?Not all folks are gifted in the same way,? he explained. ?Some people have incredible gifts with their hands...there are good decent men and women who go out and work hard every day and put their skills to test that aren?t taught by some liberal college professor trying to indoctrinate them. Oh, 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."

His comments echoed remarks he made on Friday, calling colleges "indoctrination mills."

As the Washington Post points out, Santorum's criticisms are curious considering his three advanced degrees. He holds a Bachelor's, a law degree and an M.B.A.

Obama is currently pushing a plan to make college more accessible by reforming federal student aid and providing incentives for colleges to keep their tuitions under control. He first introduced the initiative in his State of the Union speech.
