Obama: 'I Don't Think Any Parent Thinks Its Snobbery To Hope For The Best Education Possible'

...............
"We all want Americans getting those jobs of the future," the president said. "So we're going to have to make sure that they're getting the education that they need."

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, White House press secretary Jay Carney said "I don't think any parent in America who has a child would think its snobbery to hope for that child the best possible education."

But Carney said he didn't know if Obama was taking a direct swipe at Santorum.

"He was making clear what his position is," Carney said, adding "I don't know if it was specific to that statement."
