GOP candidate and possible front-runner, Rick Santorum, criticized President Obama and accused him of encouraging the Occupy Wall Street movement, saying Obama is “trying to divide America into one percentage versus another percentage. That’s not what a leader of this country should do but Barack Obama has sided with the 99 versus one.”
I'm thinking Ol' Ricky may want to retract that very statement. I'm not thinking it's going to be a good strategy for he or the Republican Party in general to say they represent the 1% while Obama represents the 99%.
I can just see Santorum at a future speech or rally, saying something like: "Forget Obama! He's only siding with 99% of you! I'm siding with the top 1%, you know - the most important people in this country! Do you want a president who leaves out 1% or a president who represents 1%? Allow me to represent all of you - 1% of you."
Like I said, I'm not thinking that's going to be a winning strategy...
