Rick Santorum is not John McCain

Rick Santorum was asked about President Obama by a woman who said that “legally, he is not [the President]”  and that he was an “avowed Muslim”.  Santorum responded to her question, but did not correct her or express disagreement with her statement.  When it was pointed out that John McCain, in a similar situation in 2008, had corrected the misinformation about Obama, Santorum replied "I am not John McCain and I've never been like John McCain and I'm not running as a candidate who's anything like John McCain." 

Santorum says "It’s not my job

To tell that lady she’s off base

I didn’t want to seem a snob

Or make her feel she’s out of place.

Obama’s not a Muslim, true,

And he’s our legal President

But if some folks don’t have a clue,

To correct them I’d be hesitant."

John McCain, in his campaign

When something similar occurred

Made his position very plain -

He’s not a Muslim, he demurred.

So Rick replied “I’m not McCain”.

Um…Rick? You can say that again.
