Rick Santorum President Quotations

I think I'm the best candidate not just to beat President Obama, but to do what is necessary to get this country going, a conviction conservative who can rally the American public around a common set of values.

President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob.

In 2006 it was a horrible election year, and, you know, I lost. But I lost because I continued to be a constant conservative, and the last six years I was someone who was a national figure in the sense that I was the third ranking Republican in leadership and I had just run President Bush's campaign in Pennsylvania.

Newt Gingrich would be a much better president than Barack Obama.

The decision he made with Usama bin Laden was a tactical decision. It wasn't a strategic decision. The strategic decision was made by President Bush to go after him. What President Obama has done on his watch, the issues that have come up while he's been president, he's gotten it wrong strategically every single time.

The president of the United States is a commander-in-chief, and the president of the United States, you know, executes the laws and tries to motivate the American public to make changes that are necessary. It's not necessarily a CEO type of position.

Sen. Daschle has just said 'no,' ... He has repeatedly said 'no, no, no' to a bill that has bipartisan support, that the president has asked for time and time again, and that the American people overwhelmingly support.

I don't know yet, ... But I am concerned President Bush nominated someone who is a blank slate. I'm disappointed he wanted to nominate someone like that instead of someone with a record.

I think it was a consensus among members of Congress, and I think the president is receptive to the idea.

I think I would probably tailor that a little more than what the president has suggested, ... I'm not comfortable with intelligent design being taught in the science classroom.

The administration I think has been very forthright...I think they had the best information that they thought was reliable at the time the president said it.

I have six children ages 4-14. And the idea of coming off a race of the intensity that I am engaged in at this point and turning around and running another two-year campaign for president is not something that I believe is in the best interest of my family,

We’ve seen with this president, experience matters. When that phone call comes at three o’clock in the morning, I will be up and ready for the call because I will know what’s going on in the world around us.

George W. Bush is the first Catholic president of the United States.

Running a business is not the same as being president of the United States.

He glosses over and doesn't even tell the truth. ... Here is a guy who is the ultimate flip-flopper running for president, and he's attacking me for not being principled? That doesn't wash.

One of the things I will talk about, that no president has talked about before, is I think the dangers of contraception in this country.
