Beautiful.

President Obama wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob,” Santorum said as the crowd howled with laughter and applause. “There are good, decent men and women who work hard every day and put their skills to the test that aren’t taught by some liberal college professor.

Santorum: Obama ‘A Snob’ For Wanting Everyone To Go To College | TPM Livewire

GWALP opines:  While I do believe the 4-year-arts college experience is NOT for everyone, I’m sick of this mindset that college is for the “snobs” or the “elite” or something.  

You can go to “college” in a trade skill (“blue collar” if you will), often for two years (hello there, local community college), and come out with great job skills and more time on your hands to plan your family and start your career.  Most of my circle of friends—and this includes Boyfriend—went this route.  THIS is what the Obama administration wants:  Affordable, practical education for people who can then turn around and be functioning (voting) members of society.

But again, we have a candidate who doesn’t want people to be educated and makes the idea of college into a “us” and “them” issue.
