President Barack Obama on Friday will propose making two years of community college free for students.
In a White House video posted Thursday evening, Obama said he wanted to offer “a little preview” of his plans for the Jan. 20 State of the Union address.
“What I’d like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody who’s willing to work for it,” Obama said. “It’s something we can accomplish, and it’s something that will train our workforce so that we can compete with anybody in the world.”
The proposal would make two years of community college free for students with a C+ average who attend school at least half-time and who are making “steady progress” toward their degree.

Yes, now teens can get their masters in haiku poetry at the taxpayer’s expense! And only a C required!
Keep an eye on the debt clock, before it crushed this nation for good.
Somebody has to pay for the college. The college professors do not work for free. Plus the buildings, electricity, water, heat, etc...
It ALL cost money.
He doesn’t even have an actual proposal. Its about “starting the conversation” (Distracting his idiot voters)
This is dup of same link posted two seconds earlier.
Is this his next EXECUTIVE ORDER to benefit the middle class? (Sarc)
Not to mention the thread from 1/2 hour ago
This word “free”, I don’t think it means what you think it does.
we have the best educated unemployed people in the world here in America.
“”free for everybody who’s willing to work for it””
Well, that doesn’t sound very fair! What’s he talking about? He doesn’t mind everyone else getting something for nothing. Why is he discriminating against students who want to go to community college? We ought to see some protests pretty soon - just as soon as the jerk figures out how to put his words into action.
Free Now , but Oh boy will you pay for it if you ever get a job
......”Obama to propose two free years of community college for students”......
The give-a way President who loves to give what is not his to give....that’s our money..nothing is free!!!!

Liberal utopia. Magic beans. And we all lived happily ever after.
Free? Free? There is no such thing. Who is donating the building and utilities and everything? Who will teach for free? NO ONE!!!!! This is just one more opportunity for the left to rob working americans of their hard earned money.
