Karen Santorum: My Husband Shouldn’t Have Outright Called Obama A “Snob”
10:45 am, March 5th | by Laura Donovan
As we learned last week, name calling of any kind can be both unwise and mean-spirited.
After her husband/Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum went back on his comment about President Barack Obama being a “snob” for wanting everyone to have the opportunity to go to college, Karen Santorum said her spouse should have labeled the president’s actions as “snobbish” rather than categorize him as a snob.
“He knows you always separate what you say from the person,” Karen told POLITICO over the weekend in her first interview of the presidential campaign with a print media publication. “He should have said what [Obama] said is ‘snobbish.’ It was a ‘snobbish comment,’ not he is ‘snobbish.’ There is a big difference. And he knows that. But everybody makes those mistakes along the journey.”
Karen, who has been married to Rick for 22 years, has become her husband’s de facto damage controller on the campaign. POLITICO reports that advisers are all of the belief that “the more Karen, the better for the campaign,” and given her modest lifestyle and approach to shopping (she lists her daughters as her fashion consultants and claims to purchase her clothing at outlet malls), we tend to agree that she’s good for his image, especially in this economy.
Though it’s sweet to hear that Karen and her family members pray for the families of her husband’s rivals because they’re all “going through a really tough time,” we doubt her good nature and diplomatic approach to the campaign will increase her husband’s popularity or odds of landing the primary nomination.
