In a letter to supporters, Rick Santorum reportedly wrote that he is “considering putting my name in for the 2012 presidential race,” citing concerns over President Obama's purported “single-minded pursuit of a radical domestic agenda” and that “the Obama Administration buried its head in the sand and has turned a blind eye towards several major threats to our country.” From the letter:
You see, two years ago, candidate-Barack Obama sold our country a false bill of goods.
And now we're paying a heavy, heavy price.
Enough is enough.
That's why I hope you'll join me today to lay the groundwork for taking back our country.
I promise you, I will stop at nothing when it comes to defending our freedom and our values.
That's the real reason why - after talking it over with my wife Karen and our kids - I am considering putting my name in for the 2012 presidential race.
And I'd like to know what you think about this - so please share your thoughts by rushing the attached “2010 Launch” reply back to me right away!
Rick Santorum is a Fox News contributor. In August, Fox & Friends touted former Senator Santorum - who suffered a “landslide defeat by Democrat Bob Casey” in 2006 - as a 2012 presidential prospect:
Fox News personalities Mike Huckabee, Newt Gingrich and Sarah Palin are also considering 2012 runs.
