Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney really wants to seal up the Republican nomination, so during a campaign stop in Pennsylvania (which is Santorum territory) he tried to reiterate how out of touch President Obama is, "We have a president, who I think is is a nice guy, but he spent too much time at Harvard, perhaps." Of course, it's not like Romney admitted to the crowd that he went there, too!
Daily Intel points out, "Romney [is] a person who earned a joint JD/MBA degree at Harvard over the course of four years — one year longer than the three years Obama spent at Harvard getting his law degree, and two years longer than the time spent by three of Romney's sons at Harvard Business School."
Whatever, it's not like Romney thinks he's going to win Pennsylvania.
