Santorum Accuses Obama Of 'Snobbery' For Wanting All U.S. Kids To Attend College

[Full-Auto]

Requiring an application to be submitted is an awfully long way from forcing them to actually go to college.

You can even dress them up in cute little uniforms too. Armbands dont forget the armbands

It would seem to me to be more a method of encouragement than actually forcing anyone to do anything.

More like a "well my application got accepted I might as well."


Also: Slippery Slope fallacy.

Lets just cut to the chase and make this a short list.

What freedoms will you not give up?

Does 100% of the population need to attend college?

it would be nice....but if they dont want to.....hey,its that persons decision.....maybe one wants to go to a trade school....

Obama IS ahn elitist snob. He's been handed everything in his life.

He has never worked a DAY in his life.

I see nothing wrong with what Santorum supposedly stated.

Obama was raised by a single mother and worked his way up to be president

Now candidates like George Bush and Mitt Romney ARE elitist snobs who went to prep schools and had political connections

You're just full of JOKES aren't you?

Jokes on YOU. Obama spent a good amount of his life outside the United States in Indonesia...and then in Hawaii with Socialist grandparents that were wealthy.

His Mother didn't have much time for him as a child...(Nor did his father whom abandoned them)...she was too busy whoring around with fellow traveller Communists.

Odd that Obama sought thier company throughout his life as a young pup as well even into his Presidency?

You may report ME:

PUSH TO ACTIVATE​

They DO say that hitting the bottle to the point of being out of control makes one paranoid.

Could this nutjob stoop any lower? Now Obama is a snob for wanting kids to go to college?

Rick Santorum Accuses Obama Of 'Hubris' And 'Snobbery' For Wanting All U.S. Kids To Attend College

The most animated exchange of former Pennsylvania Sen. Rick Santorum's Saturday morning event in Manchester, N.H. came when he called out President Obama for his "hubris" and "snobbery" for proclaiming that all U.S. children should get a college education.

I was so outraged by the president of the United States for standing up and saying every child in America should go to college. Well who are you? Who are you to say that every child in America should [go to college]? I mean, the hubris of this president to think that he knows what's best.
I have seven kids. Maybe they will all go to college. But if one of my kids wants to go and be an auto-mechanic, good for him. That's a good paying job: using your hands, using your mind. This is the kind of snobbery that we see from those who think they know how to run our lives. Rise up America, defend your own freedoms. And overthrow these folks who think they know how to orchestrate every aspect of your lives.

If all US kids go to college, who will be left to fix the toilets?

My plumber makes as much as I do, and he lives in a house on the lake too! A lot of college grads can't even make ends meet, and many lost it all in the Obama recession years.

 

[francoHFW]

Obama never said all should go to college.

True.

This is yet another idiotic non-issue, part of the right’s myth of ‘class warfare’ and the ‘liberal elite.’

then why the fuck is congress considering passing a bill making applications to college mandatory? asswipe?

Pubcrappe as always...

so free choice is off the menu.. how convenient.

Hey, what's that selective service thing, look over there!

what selective service thang? where?

Shut up, skank.

Are you sure you want to get in the middle of this? Fair question. And a fair warning.

I'm about to try to figure out those that are attempting to pretend they are First Nations and decimate them.

I'm not going to allow this. Now for you. I have no problem with you whatsoever and you appear to be a good poster albeit left wing.

Please though unless you want to be in the middle of something messy, back off. Fair warning.

What we have here are individuals who appear to be pretending to be First Nations. This is a big no no.

One can pretend to be Lindsey Lohan or Britanny Spears. No problemo. But you don't ever ever ever attempt to lie about being First Nations.

I'm fairly sure no one gives a shit. A rather large portion of my family is from the Appalachian Cherokee tribes and you don't see me running around calling people out who claim they are part of a specific ethnic group.

lol I give a shit when anyone can't back up their claims. Now tell me your tribe?

First thing that comes up on wikipedia. Now who are you from? I'm cool with it because I'd love to talk with someone who understands the difficulties coast to coast.

I fight against water boil advisories. I am horrified on a day to day basis that any nation has to live like this.

Our best friends are from Rankin Inlet. And I live right beside Roseau River.

Don't even try to fuck with me on this. Where are you from? I'm cool.

Yeah? Did she have to schlep around in a McDonald's or KFC to pay their bills? Just wondering where her hardship actually was.

Guns, belief, speech, privacy, life.

I'm not sure this violates any of that.

OMG - Can you believe these right wing radicals at Harvard? A bunch of Santorum freaks I imagine.

The U.S. is focusing too much attention on helping students pursue four-year college degrees, when two-year and occupational programs may better prepare them for the job market, a Harvard University report said.

The “college for all” movement has produced only incremental gains as other nations leapfrog the United States, and the country is failing to prepare millions of young people to become employable adults, said the authors of the Pathways to Prosperity Project, based at the Harvard Graduate School of Education in Cambridge, Massachusetts.

Four Years of College Isn't for Everyone, Harvard Study Says - Bloomberg

It really depends heavily on the individual students, we should fully support any student that wants to get a degree in something serious, like engineering, physics, or a medical degree.

But if they want to be plumbers or electricians they should just do without?

Trade school.

I can't imagine that proclaiming kids shouldn't aspire to go to college would be a winning political strategy.

Right? I can't wait to see the Republican candidate use this on the campaign trail. Of course, Romney - who will be the nominee - isn't stupid enough (nor do I think he believes it) to use this losing message on the campaign trail. Santorum is a far-right nutjob. The fact that the USMB rightwing brigade is vehemently defending his uttery idiotic rhetoric is all the evidence one needs.

Do you honestly think the people who fix the best cars in the world learned that from their local car shop?

F-1 mechanics generally have degrees in mechanical engineering. Imagine that.

I doubt it.

Well they sure as fuck don't learn to work on fighter jets by being backyard grease monkeys. Man, you are one stupid motherfucker

Are you serious? Virginia is a tribe? Give me a break. We have more than one issue with our elections up here and councils. It's actually a big deal.

You're going to try to tell me you are just a tribe from Virginia and expect me to believe you?

Kiss my ass.

That's not what he said... It's a creative twist on it, so I'll give u that...

That doesn't really matter. It looks like he is attacking the value of higher education. Using such antagonistic language makes him look petty, small and very un-Presidential. There are so very many better ways of getting his point across rather than calling Obama a snob and elitist just because he said everyone should go to college.
