Rick Santorum Fails To Correct Woman’s Misconceptions About Obama

At a town hall meeting in Florida today, Rick Santorum sat back and listened as a woman in the audience spewed misleading information about the President.

“I never refer to Obama as President Obama because legally he is not,” the woman in the audience began. “He constantly says that our constitution is passé, and he ignores it as you know and does what he darn well pleases. He is an avowed Muslim and my question is, why isn’t something being done to get him out of government? He has no legal right to be calling himself president.”

If Santorum was an ethical politician, he would have followed John McCain’s example in 2008,  when McCain corrected a woman in his audience as she was in the midst of making false claims, as well.  Since Santorum failed to correct this untruth in regards to the President, we are forced to question his ethical standings as he allowed this accuser to make blatantly ignorant statements.

“Well look, I’m doing my best to get him out of the government right now,” Santorum said. “And you’re right about how he uniformly ignores the constitution. He did this with these appointments over the recess that was not a recess, and if I was in the United States Senate I would be drawing the line.”

When asked by CNN why he chose not to correct the woman, Santorum said it wasn’t his responsibility to do so.

“I don’t feel it’s my obligation every time someone says something I don’t agree with to contradict them, and the President’s a big boy, he can defend himself and his record and I’m going to go out and talk about the issues that the President and I disagree on and try to defeat him because I think that’s the best thing that we can do for the future of our country.”

I'm just tired of the lies and nonsense coming from the GOP, so this is my little contribution to combat the nonsense!
