A frequently-asked question:
Santorum: ‘I agree’ with Obama students should have options for education
By Meghashyam Mali – 03/04/12 02:21 PM ETGOP contender Rick Santorum backed away Sunday from his comments that President Obama was a “snob” for encouraging Americans to seek higher education, saying he agreed with the president that students should have options.
Appearing on Fox News Sunday, Santorum conceded he may have misunderstood the president’s position, prompting his remark.
“I’ve read some columns where at least it was characterized that the president said, we should go to four-year colleges,” said Santorum. “I’ve certainly read that. If it was in error, then I agree with the president that we should have options for people to go to variety of different training options for them.”
Santorum said his position was that all students were unique and should consider multiple opportunities and that four-year colleges were not the only path for higher education.“Not all folks are gifted in the same way,” Santorum had said at a forum in Michigan last month. “Some people have incredible gifts with their hands. … President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college. What a snob.”
Obama, during a 2009 address to Congress, urged Americans to commit to higher education or further career skills training.
"So tonight I ask every American to commit to at least one year or more of higher education or career training," Obama said. "This can be a community college or a four-year school, vocational training or an apprenticeship. But whatever the training may be, every American will need to get more than a high-school diploma."
Santorum was asked Sunday about a policy statement on his 2006 senatorial reelection bid website which Fox host Chris Wallace said was similar to the president’s position on higher education.
“We looked back at your 2006 Web site, when you were running for reelection back in 2006. Here’s what your campaign put up in your Web site,” Wallace said. "Rick Santorum has supported legislative solutions that provide loans, grants and tax incentives to make higher education more accessible and affordable," he read.
“All I can tell you is that I support people being able to go to and have the opportunity to go wherever they want to go, Santorum responded.
“But I wanted to make sure that we focus not just on four-year college degrees and we understand there are a lot of different training opportunities for people both in technical schools and in going to the military, or going to a lot of other places that we need to make sure that we affirm all of those choices.”

Answer: This is quite a popular question. Free website hosting is probably not for you if you are serious about having a website. Web hosting is one of the most important part of your web presence and can mean the success and failure for your business.
Before we give you an absolute answer, these are seven qualities to look for in a good web hosting. An excellent hosting:
- does not suspend accounts easily like other cheap hosting,
- gives more-than-enough diskspace,
- offers no limit on bandwidth,
- gives unlimited add-on domains,
- has friendly Site Builder with thousands of unique templates,
- has QuickInstall to quickly install apps like WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, OSCommerce, ZenCart and more
- can be easily upgraded to VPS or one of the best dedicated server plans if and when your business require.
To answer your question, many experienced web developers suggest to try Hostgator. If you need an “unlimited” hosting plan, experts usually highly recommend going with Hostgator because they are the best best domain hosting around.
With more than 4 million websites hosted, a “Hostgator sucks” comment cannot be avoided. See the drawbacks of Hostgator in the section below.

Hostgator Complaints
No web hosting service is perfect. Some complaints about Hostgator plans include:
- No free domain name included – but you can easily get a domain name from the best domain registrar such as Godaddy or Namecheap for $10 or less. Would you agree that a website is not complete without a domain name?
- You need to pay full price after your first invoice – well, they need to make money too and all the support and great service do come with a cost. It is like they say, you get what you pay for.

Santorum is doing a good job of sticking his foot in his mouth. I always look forward to his "clarifications."

Conservatives are arrogant and self-righteous bigots. They don’t know how to apologize or humble themselves.
Shin Chan says

Obama is a snob. he wants all children to be brainwashed be liberal elitsts in liberal colleges (reeducation camps). It’s the old Hitlerean idea that if you can’t seperate the child form the parents when there young you can get them to follow your idelogy
Callie says
No. They dont apologize to a black head of state. Brewer didnt . Nothing. They are real fresh with Obama. But he keeps marching on.
BlackSunshine84 says
0bama is a snob, has always looked down on the working class people who are the backbone of our nation. Not everyone is cut out for college and there is no shame in that. Santorum is a sniveling little coward for backing away from his statement.
Thank you, plumbers, garbage collectors, electricians, painters, fire fighters, etc… for all you do!
Katrina and josh says
Crazy conservatives lack real sense… It is not in them to apologize.
On the left and proud says
I loved the way Chris Wallace put him on the spot where he more or less had to admit he lied about what Pres Obama said
. says
There is no requirement to apologize to him. Has Obama apologized to America for what he has done yet? No. He is too busy apologizing to radical Islam while letting our men and women be killed for something that has no clear goals. Time to bring them all home.
Willard Mitt Romney says
No, but he apologized to me for calling me Middle Class, when I am upper class.
SCARFACE says
Liberals want an apology, yet there has never been more hate from the left
just ask Sarah Palin
Alicia Murphy says
Did obama apologize to the American people for his existence?
