I wonder how much newly graduated Obama paid on his Colombia and Occidental loans between the time he graduated from Columbia and the time he entered Harvard a few years later.
I bet it wasn't very much if he paid anything at all.
I wonder if he told Columbia financial officials that he had an outstanding loan at Occidental, and I wonder if he told Harvard about his Occidental and Columbia loans.
The loans at Occidental, Columbia, and Harvard must have been huge, because there is no record that Obama worked at a job during his college years.
And living in expensive New York could not have been cheap for Obama while he was a young undergraduate at Columbia.
In my opinion, President Obama has unexpectedly and dangerously raised more questions about how he financed his college education.
I bet Obama now wishes that he had never brought up the subject about his college loans in his recent speech at the University of North Carolina, because he now realizes that reporters will surely pressure him to answer in more detail this question: How did you pay for your studies at 3 different colleges?
Not a problem, it simply implies he had a substantial amount of income in those years working for a charity of Churches when he only became “Christian” in 1988 and then worked to become a “community organizer” before going to law school.
Those substantial incomes, even if they were gifts, are surely reported on his income tax returns, along with the payments of those Boston tickets.
