"I'm not a manager. I'm not a visionary," he told the crowd in an apparent reference to his GOP rivals Mitt Romney and Newt Gingrich. "I'm a guy from a steel town who grew up understanding what made this country great and for the years that I've been involved in public life, put my heart and my effort on the line to make this country the kind of country that we all want to hand on to our children and grandchildren."
Santorum also touched on the fight over who's the real "Washington insider," saying the only reason Romney wasn't a Washington politician is because he lost his Senate race in 1994.
"You hear a lot of talk about who's the insider and who's the outsider in this race. There's a guy that's outside of Washington, who was not a senator or a congressman — not because he didn't try — but because he never got elected," he said. In contrast, Santorum added, he was someone who was "an outsider when he was inside" Washington.

For those interested.
He’s not a visionary. He’s not a manager.
Janitor?
Hey Rick, you’re beginning to sound like “Plugs” Biden.
"I'm not a manager. I'm not a visionary,"
WTF? Another example that Santorum doesn't have a clue. A manager and a visionary leader is EXACTLY what this country needs right now! Not some putz in a sweater vest!
God help us!
Uff da! Rick Santorum, you are not presidential material either. Reagan was a visionary, Newt is a visionary. GHW Bush didn’t have that “vision thing”. Get out now!
OMG - I thought at first he said he was not a manager but WAS a visionary. What a dweeb. He belongs in a sweater vest ,but not in the damned White House.
That’s where visionary’s belong .
Reagan Democrats. There are some left. in some very important states for November to get to the 270. And swing independents. Gotta get ‘em. They can be peeled away from Obongo, like candy from a baby.
You mean like Obama?
Wasn’t Obama a visionary too? I guess it all depends on your vision.
I thought you only posted pro Rick Santorum stuff. I am surprised you would post this hit piece.
I mean, it is a hit piece isn’t it? A candidate for President in very troubled times bragging about NOT being a visionary?
This is another mistake of Santorum’s.
I’m sure Santorum can handle it.
A manager and a visionary leader is EXACTLY what this country needs right now!
Those two don’t come in one package.
You have no idea what a visionary is apparently. None whatsoever.
It is rare, but I work for one.
Maybe he’s wised up then and is angling for Newt’s V.P. slot. ;)
Are steel towns generally union towns?
