(Reuters) - Describing his own struggle to pay off college debt and taking another dig at his likely White House rival's wealth, President Barack Obama sought on Tuesday to expand his popularity among young voters with a call to make education more affordable.
During a multi-state trip to highlight rising education costs, a key theme of his re-election campaign, Obama said he knew firsthand how paying for university could hurt families and ding the economy.

he talked about himself?...that’s unusual....(extreme sarcasm)
Was he telling the truth about having a loan?
Who gave him a loan?
When did he get the first loan?
How many loans did he have?
Was it a Saudi bank loan?
I have many questions about this.
Barry is counting on the dumb and young to pull his Marxist @$$ out of the fire in November. It’s too bad “college” kids are so damn gullible.
Does Barry want to reveal how he paid for college, who helped him through college, and under what category he was in college? Let’s see some fancy skating on thin ice.
he had loans? well, then show us the loan paperwork, application, statement that says they were paid in full, etc etc etc. The moron does kind of set himself up for more and more scrutiny every day he wakes up.
For the kid attending a local state college...living the first two years out of dad’s house...getting dad to contribute half of the tuition...I doubt if the kid incurs more than $20k in student loan debt by the 4th year. The same is true for a community college goal and taking real technicial classes (HVAC, diesel mechanics, business accounting, etc)...a kid will do well.
If you go to an out-of-state school, with high tuition costs...you are simply adding years of misery onto your back. Once you get past $75k in loan issues...you’ve put yourself into a lousy position for the first decade of your life after leaving home.
If you examine the statement he made, he didn’t say “he”.
He said “we”.
Meaning the collective Barack and Michelle.
His part of the student loans of “we” could be 0% and her part could be 100% for all we know.
Yeah, I fear he still is paying back his “loans” for his education... Watch him bow, watch him put antisemitic policies into place...
show us your records and receipts..because he preaches Bull S__t and lies I will not believe him...
prove you had student loans Mr. president
Obama is talking about law school loans
cry me a river
he didnt have any loans at Occidental or Columbia.
his grandparents were rich.
I had actually considered that as well.
I’m sure that having a wife being paid $350,000 per year by the University of Chicago whose duties were (1) wife of State Senator and (2) Diversity Consultant helped with those student loans.
how do you know that???
did he tell you that?? he said he was on food stamps and welfare eating dogs for dinner...
he was a poor boy and Romney is a rich boy...that is their difference?
Who's going to make him?
Nobody, and he knows it.
Interesting times we live in.
I wonder a lot about this guy?? just where is he from and really is obama his daddy? hum................
Unless you are stupid.
Ignorance can easily be cured by factual knowledge.
Stupid is not easily cured.
Am I supposed to pity the stupid idiots who went deeply into debt, to major in a liberal arts/political science/communications/womans studies/basketweaving degree?
err...part of every USA State's budget includes hefty taxpayer funds dedicated to “higher education”.
Can we all agree that the current funding system is an EPIC FAILURE, as far as taxpayers funds are concerned?
And I am supposed to pretend to care that the stupid idiots who took out massive loans to pay for their useless degrees, have recently discovered that they really ARE expected to pay for their own student loan debts?
Is not basic economics a required course?

Obama went to an exclusive private high school in Hawaii (punahoe)
his white grandmother sent him there. she was a VP at
a bank in Hawaii.
Do the math.
Who paid for Occidental College? She did. I doubt he got any financial
aid. no undergrad loans.
By the way, after reading that section of his book, I'm inclined to believe that his work at the law firm was sub-standard and the bosses told him that his chances of making partner were about zero, so he quit before being cut.
