Rick Santorum suggested today that his pro-manufacturing policies reflect a greater respect for working-class people than President Obama seems to hold, as he made a blue-collar appeal to voters in the outskirts of Detroit.

“President Obama once said he wants everybody out there to go to college; what a snob!” Santorum said this morning at an Americans for Prosperity event. “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 in their own image, not his.”
