Rick Santorum said what?

GOP presidential candidate Rick Santorum’s apparent endorsement of Barack Obama over Mitt Romney is not going over well in the Twitterverse. First, the quote from AP:

“You win by giving people a choice,” Santorum said during a campaign stop in Texas. “You win by giving people the opportunity to see a different vision for our country, not someone who’s just going to be a little different than the person in there.”
Santorum added: “If they’re going to be a little different, we might as well stay with what we have instead of taking a risk of what may be the Etch A Sketch candidate for the future.”

And now, the reaction. Yeesh:
