(135,060 posts)Welfare reform was "something that we fought for, President Clinton signed in 1996 right before the election. Huge transformation of the welfare rolls, dramatic reductions, increases in employment, reductions in poverty, a transformation of welfare, probably the single greatest accomplishment, social welfare-wise, in the last 20 years. And President Obama gets up and says, 'Nope I'm going to change the law, by speaking,' " says Santorum.
"This sounds like a two-bit dictator, not a President of the United States."
Santorum piled on the fiery comments, comparing Obama to Italy's former dictator Benito Mussolini and urging Romney to attack Obama's "imperial presidency" on the stump.

(14,549 posts)Thanks for saying again that even without whatever is in the tax returns, even if that was an non-issue, you would pick Palin over Romney.
If you want to clear this up some more then please release another statement tomorrow or whatever day Romney announces his failed VP pick. We're all ears.
