Today's speech was extraordinary. So, the students want the low college loan interest to stay low, but are not pushing Obama to step out of the way of businesses that create the jobs they will need to pay off the loans at any interest rate. OK, that makes sense. To an 18 year old. Out of sympathy for the Obamas, purportedly paying off their own student loans a mere 8 years ago. Either of them COULD have chosen to go to state schools and not incurred so much debt. Why would they have wanted to go to those white enclaves anyway?

I thought he said just last week that he wasn’t born with a silver spoon in his mouth - somebody had to give him his education - it’s time he releases all his records to the public so we can see just exactly how he did manage to afford his degrees at some of the priciest schools in the country.......

Prove it. Let's see the college tuition bills and payment receipts. (In fact, show anything that proves he was even enrolled in the college.)

The Saudis have unlimited cash, so my guess is his tuition was "well paid" in advance (so the college would overlook "stuff" in case he failed or never showed up). My guess is he's talking about his wife's loans? Why would he owe anything as a foreign exchange student sent here by the very, very rich Saudis?

The average cost of a 4 yr. private college education around the time Obama was there (late 70’s early 80s) was 8K a year.

I doubt he financed all of it.

Big whoop Obie

I'm older than The Won, and there were federally guaranteed student loans, even back in those dark ages. But when I looked into getting one, my uncle, who was a small town/rural banker, told me that he could do better than the federal program. In the event I got a sponsered National Merit Scholarship, and for my last two (of five) years an AF ROTC Science and Engineering scholarship, so I never took out a loan. But I, and my wife, worked part time during school, and I worked full time summers, except for the one where I went to ROTC field training, for which I was paid very little after expenses, primarily laundry expenses for care of my uniforms.

I had a grant for tuition, and the GI bill for living expenses, when I went to grad school. Wife still worked though, and went to grad school herself during the summer.

We only finished paying off our student loans off about eight years ago.

He also paid off parking fines late too

From March 2007

Two weeks before the US senator from Illinois launched his presidential campaign, he paid parking tickets he received while attending Harvard Law School, officials said yesterday.
Obama received 17 parking tickets in Cambridge between 1988 and 1991, according to the city's Traffic, Parking & Transportation Department.
Of those tickets, he paid only two while he was a student and paid them late, said Susan Clippinger, the office's director.
In January, about when the Globe began asking local officials about Obama's time at Harvard, including any violations of local laws, someone representing the senator called the parking office to inquire about the decades-old tickets.
On Jan. 26, the remaining $375 in fines and fees were paid by credit card using the city's website, Clippinger said. She said she didn't know who paid them.

That was 7-8 years ago too - hmmm....

Default for 21 years, then get a suitcase full of cash from Tony Rezko to pay them off one day.

Wait.....didn't Michelle's MS stricken father work really hard to send hereto college?

From the White House Historical Association website:

Mrs. Obama’s journey began in the South Side of Chicago, where Fraser and Marian Robinson instilled in their daughter a heartfelt commitment to family, hard work, and education. Her father worked as a pump operator for the Chicago Water Department while her mother stayed at home to care for Michelle and her older brother Craig. As she watched her father refuse to give in to multiple sclerosis, use two canes to get to his job, and save money to send her to college, she learned that "the only limit to the height of your achievements is the reach of your dreams and your willingness to work hard for them."

Now I realize that politically, you get more miles out of daddy working hard to give you a better life, especially when you need to invoke his MS in the wake of an orchestrated attack against another MS victim however, they really need to get their stories straight.

President Obama, April 18, 2012:
"Someone gave me an education."

President Obama, April 24, 2012:
"We only finished paying off our student loans off about eight years ago.."

Inquiring minds want to know...

I think back farther than 8 years ago they both had at least six figure incomes.

Once again, Obama is Obama’s favorite subject. It’s always about him no matter what the topic. The Narcissist-in-Chief.

Sounds like a valuable “hook” for some Conservative investigative Journalist to “look into the validity” of Obama’s claim. Thus cracking open a door to Obama’s past history.

The elite school Obama went to in HI is $18,000 a year today, looks like a college campus. He tried to create a picture of a the poor struggling childhood and student.

He has no proof of the loans, but has proved to be very good at lies.

"Check this out, all right. I'm the president of the United States..."

The most devastating anti-Obama ad I can think of would be one that compiles all the instances of him saying "I am the President". Has there ever been any other Commander in Chief who felt such a compulsion to constantly say those words? What a child he is.
