Rick Santorum claims...

...he never said, "I do not want to make black people's lives better by giving them somebody else's money..."

To paraphrase Groucho Marx, "Who are you going to believe, me or your own ears?"

Oh, and in the Times today, Santorum is quoted as saying (my emphasis):

"I've done more in the African-American communities as a Republican than any Republican in recent memory."

Isn't that a little like saying you're the world's tallest jockey?
