Obama was quick to say that he painted houses in the summer, too.

Oh, balderdash!

Todays first insult to my intelligence.

Is this another lie? I doubt he painted houses more than a few days or never at all. Maybe he painted his mentors house for a few hours in between the mentoring sessions  Frank Marshall Davis

Obama claims he worked as a house painter?

Sure. I believe that. /s

I do enjoy Megyn Kelly’s show though, its a blast!

Next time O’bullspitter gets cornered like that, the interviewer needs to make up some outrageous job they did.....I tanned pig hides in a sweat shop......and wait for Obama to say, ‘I did that, too.’

That’s great that Bill didn’t need student loans, but government backed loans for students isn’t a program I’m necessarily against. Of course I think it should be revenue neutral (interest rates set so that government doesn’t lose money) and that dead-beats are held accountable just like with any loan. Loans are just that...loans....not Welfare and helping people who are helping themselves is never an issue.

With all of that said, the student loan program is inefficient, many students never make any payments, and the government does next to nothing to hold them account.....so, what the hell else is new? I’m even depressed when I agree with some of the crap the government does!!!

I'd buy it if Obama claimed he "worked in pharmaceutical sales". But physical labor? Naah.

I’d be surprised if Obama even rolled his own joints, much less if he ever touched a paint brush.

My dad worked over thirty years at the Ford plant and he and my mom saved for years to put my sister and me through college. When the time came they gave the same deal to each of us. They would pay 100% of the first year tuition and fees to any college we wanted, 75% of the second year, 50% of the third year, and 25% of the last. We were expected to work and save and fund the rest. My dad’s favorite expression, well one of them anyway, was that quote from Thomas Paine “What we obtain too cheap we esteem too lightly.” If they just paid our way he thought we’d not realize how important it was. By working and having to invest in our own education he thought we’d appreciate it more. And I have to say he was right. So through work, scholarships and grants, and my folks I didn’t have to get any student loans either.

Obama is such a tool that, even in hindsight, he can’t see that it is quite possible for many, if not most people to obtain a degree without loans. The main prerequisite is a stable home life. If the only help parents can provide a child is free room and board, it means a two year stint at community college followed by the cheapest state school with your major. With any luck, you can commute all four years. If not, you may have to take a gap year in between CC and state school to save some money. Is it Columbia? No, but, as 0 knows well, you never actually have to go to Columbia, you just need to say you did.

“It still wasn’t enough,” he told O’Reilly.

I guess it takes a lot of money to bribe school officials and teachers (perfessers). Good thing Obama had some rich Arab benefactor.

I'm thinking back to my teaching days. Up until the late 1980s (at least) an exceptional HS student with high SATs, good grades and some talent or participation that showcased their potential didn't have to pay for college. They had to work at finding a college that was a good match, but they didn't have to pay.

Was Obama not smart enough and did he not have high enough grades to get scholarships? He's old enough so those options were still available.

I see this as a real issue. Maybe one reason Obama has no clue about the economy is that he couldn't even handle personal finance as a young adult. Maybe he's just plain dumb.
