Did Obama say everyone should go to college?

Republican presidential candidate Rick Santorum kicked up a media storm when he slammed President Barack Obama as a "snob" at an Americans for Prosperity forum in Troy, Mich., on Feb. 25, 2012.

"President Obama once said he wants everybody in America to go to college," Santorum said. "What a snob. There are good, decent men and women who go out and work hard everyday and put their skills to test that aren't taught by some liberal college professor that (tries) to indoctrinate them."

Is that what Obama said? We reviewed 18 Obama speeches and found Santorum was wrong.
