“”he and Michele had a combined $120,000 in student loan debt and monthly payments on the debt were more than their mortgage.””

Bought a house with a debt like that? I guess he didn’t know any more about economics then than he does now!

Wonder if those student loans were ever paid off or if that’s why he’s so sympathetic to that problem today? Poor babies!

How does the POTUS, who makes what? 400k per year ... when combined with the first ladies income (which I assume is zero) ... together made 1.7 million?

Where did the extra income originate from?

Are they both employed elsewhere as well?

In other words, Obama has just admitted that he and Michelle found themselves in the same boat as many Caucasian, Asian and Latin couples that were just starting out. Wonder what it was about America and race that made Michelle ashamed to be an American up until her husband was elected?

A 100% lie.

I challenge Obama or anyone to post the details of his student loans.

It is my belief that black students who aren’t massively underqualified for admission (but admitted due to affirmative action) receive scholarships.

If Barry and Michelle weren’t offered full-ride scholarships to law school, they were the academic bottom of the barrel.

Sales of his books to the State Department.

Student loans for Barry?

Do we even know if he attended Columbia and Occidental?

We’ve never seen the records.

How do you attend Harvard, Columbia, and Occidental and only owe $60,000?

Who paid for the rest?

The same goes for Michelle.Princeton and Harvard and she owed only $60,000?

Doubtful.

Good to see some things never change. Even in his college days he was addicted to debt. Who forced them to go to ivy colleges and law school and assume all that debt?

My kids go to state schools and have no debt. It can be done.

First of all, how did they afford a mortgage?

Second, how did they pay off the loans?

This is a nation of idiots. Including me for voting for the “other” party who allowed this kenyan to be president.

WE’VE BEEN HAD FOR DECADES!

Michelle Obama on student loans:

“And then you’ve got the other half of young people who were like me and Barack, who too, out loans to pay for our college. So yeah, we have Ivy League degrees, but they cost us a whole lot of money to get. And see, what we did was what we thought we were supposed to do. We got those fancy degrees, and then we left corporate America, and went to work in the community. And with every job we took, we made less money...(W)here we found ourselves, in a position like most young couples, with our PhD’s and JD’s and MPh’s and WLMOP’s, all those wonderful degrees, all mired in debt. We had not paid off our loan debts until just a few years ago. Barack couldn’t even run for president.”

So they go to the most expensive schools in America and this First Lardy has the gall to complain about having to pay it back.

Guess she wants her reparations too.

Awww. So the University of Illinois wasn’t good enough for either one of you? You had to go to Columbia, Harvard, Princeton? My heart bleeds. Some of us would have liked to go to those schools but decided we couldn’t take on that debt level and chose state schools instead. Incomprehensible as it may be, we came out of college and graduate school with more common sense than you and your wife appear to have done, Mr President. Seems you wasted your money.
