So, here’s the story. Santorum was taking questions at one of his Florida stops. A woman made a statement about President Obama that included her saying that the President is a Muslim and Muslims should not be president. Well, we all know there are those who will believe whatever they will believe. That’s okay.
The question comes with Santorum’s response. He basically answered her without correcting the fact that President Barack Obama is NOT a Muslim. According to Santorum, it is not his job to correct people at town hall meetings. Well, that much may be true in one sense, but it does tell us something about Rick, doesn’t it?
Rick Santorum should be familiar with the sin of omission. After all, he is a devout Catholic, isn’t he? While this may not be a true sin of omission, it comes pretty damned close. It also tells us that rather than be totally honest and straight forward, Santorum lacks certain qualities most of us would prefer in a president — honesty and integrity. Or, maybe Mr. Santorum is just the spineless wimp he appears to be. Or, maybe he is just plain stupid and doesn’t know any better.
Or, as Mr. Santorum said following the gathering, it is not his job to correct what someone believes. Tsk! Tsk! Tsk! Shame on you, Rick. Shame on you.
