The very first time I was supposed to sit down with Rick Santorum over coffee, he had to postpone: Bella, born just a few months earlier, had taken ill and was fighting for her life. This was back in late 2008.
When he dutifully rescheduled and we met after she recovered, I started by asking about her. I don’t remember what he said exactly, but I remember the sense I got, the depth of feeling that emanated from him: This man’s family came first, in a very genuine way. This man was real.
I’ll have more on Santorum and Bella when my column comes out here later this week.
May God bless little Bella.

The Santorum family is a mutual-blessing society!

Mr. Hillyer is quite a decent chap.

We all wish this family the best and our prayers for their daughter's improved health, but this situation DOES NOT PROFESSIONALLY QUALIFY ONE TO BE POTUS AND TO MANAGE/ADMINISTER THE LARGEST COUNTRY'S GOVERNMENT WITHIN THE WORLD. If that were the case, many others here and elsewhere would also become instantaneously so qualified to run for that office!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

And a great speech at the DNConvention and voting "present" 181 times in the IL legislature qualifies one to be President?

No but obviously [according to the STUPIDITY OF THE AMERICAN VOTERS IN 2008] the following does so; and if these demuarses don't WAKE UP and understand the following, this country will no longer exist in the next two years:
'......US Debt Exceeds Euro Zone, UK Combined
Wednesday, April 11, 2012 11:24 AM
By: Henry J. ReskeU.S. government debt now exceeds the combined debt of countries in the crisis-riddled Eurozone and the United Kingdom. United States debt at the end of 2011 was at $15.1 trillion while European debt was at $12.7 trillion, according to a chart released by GOP members of the Senate Budget Committee.The Eurozone is made up of 17 countries, including France, Germany, Greece, Italy, Spain, and other smaller nations that, among other things, use the euro as their currency. Many of the countries, such as Greece, have recently faced a severe economic crisis brought on by heavy governmental debt that required financial bailouts. The UK is not part of the Eurozone but is part of the European Union.The Weekly Standard notes that GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney frequently warns that the United States should not become like Greece and added that “with charts like this, that formulation might already be out of date, considering the enormity of America's debt burden.”.......'
