Rick Santorum addressed supporters, saying that his campaign represented “working-class values” by touting his own roots in western Pennsylvania — and by bringing up a famous Barack Obama gaffe from way back in the Spring of 2008, when he was first running for President.

“Barack Obama actually got it right when he made that comment in San Francisco, unbeknownst that it was being recored,” said Santorum. “Yes, my grandfather and I come from that area of Pennsylvania he was referring to — that holds on tightly to their guns and their Bibles.

“And those are the people in America who are being left behind. Those are the folks in America who neither party has a voice for.”
