Santorum Faces Scrutiny For 'Phony Theology' Comments
ResumeRepublican presidential candidate Rick Santorum held a rally in Stuebenville, Ohio Monday, where he continued to use the hot rhetoric that won him headlines over the weekend. On Saturday, Santorum accused President Obama of having a "phony theology."
On CBS yesterday, Santorum then had to backpedal, saying he wasn't suggesting Obama isn't Christian, just that he takes issue with Obama's world view, which he said included a radical environmentalism that "elevates the earth above man."
Leading in the polls, Santorum's views are being scrutinized more-- a new poll out Monday shows his lead is slipping a bit in Michigan ahead of next week's primary there.
