Rick Santorum delivered one of the headline speeches at the Republican National Convention on Tuesday, but his speech attracted attention for the wrong reasons.

"Under President Obama, the dream of freedom has become a nightmare of dependency. It’s not surprising fewer and fewer Americans are achieving their dreams." He continued, "Obama spent four years and borrowed 5 trillion dollars trying to convince you that he can make things better for you. ... The result, massive debt, anemic growth, and millions unemployed."

But, Santorum chose the metaphor of "hands" to frame his speech, something which did not go over well on Twitter. 

Santorum spoke confidently, as though he were still running for president against Barack Obama. But, he made several references bound to upset the politically incorrect, as in when he referred to disabled people as having "little, broken hands."
