Santorum called President Obama a snob over the weekend for wanting everyone in America to attend college. At a gathering of Governor's on Monday, Obama said, "The jobs of the future are increasingly going to those with more than a high school degree. And I have to make a point here. When I speak about higher education we're not just talking about a four-year degree," the president said in reference to his position that, "We're talking about somebody going to a community college and getting trained for that manufacturing job that now is requiring somebody walking through the door, handling a million-dollar piece of equipment."
I hate to admit it, but he does have a point. In order for America to be a power comparable to China, people need to be educated past a rudimentary level. Now does everyone need to go to a four year college? Of course not, but wanting a larger percentage of the population to have some sort of education past high school isn't a bad idea.
In other news, Santorum now receives Secret Service protection. Probably not a bad idea...
