So he’s going to a state school to get a free ride?

God help us if everyone decides to do the same—Mr. Taxpayer’s back might finally be broken under that load!

So his answer is a state subsidized education?

The Obamas reportedly lived with the burden of college loan debt of $120,000 until 2004, when he was elected to the U.S. Senate and paid off his debt after securing a $1.9 million book deal to write The Audacity of Hope.>

Sorry to put this so crudely but who did he blow to get THAT deal. An unknown politician getting two million dollars to put his name on a ghost written book. Somebody knew something.

How about capping costs? It’s the gub’mint’s answer to rising medical expenses.

Schools have billion dollar endowments and hike the fees because they can and the taxpayer subsidizes the bill.

I thought Harvard and maybe Brown didn’t charge undergrad tuition; it’s paid for from their endowments.

Liberals insult and don’t even know it. they think they’re the most sensitive people on “gaia’s earth”.

She just totally insulted the entire University of Alabama. Faculty and students.

I am sure she doesn’t think so. She will give one of those “I am sorry if anyone was hurt by my words, I am sorry if they took what I was saying the wrong way” - again, a condescending non-apology apology which is what the left thinks passes for an actual apology these days. You know to the stupid people who aren’t liberal and don’t gloss over the insults as they can’t see them, but pick up on them.

What’s semi-surprising to me, as this story has been around for a few days, is that there are two questions that nobody’s asking.

1. I believe the application fee for each school is now about $200..unless it’s waived for minority applicants. That’s a lot of $$

2. The guidance counselors in his school should be fired for allowing him to apply to all of the Ivies. There job is to help him focus of which schools meet his goals, not to run an admissions lottery. Furthermore, it hurts the next student from that HS who applies to any of the Ivies...if it’s a close decision, they’ll likely reject him. It’s a well-known fact

An accurate count of the number of states in the US continues to baffle Obama.

I don’t believe the obamas had any debt to pay other then from a bribe.

I used to work with a guy that had a degree from Rensselaer. He was no smarter or more effective than the rest of us - he just had parents that could afford to send him to an elite school.

Turns out that most of what you need to know to be effective in the world is not taught in college. This guy will get just as good an education at Bama as he would at an ivy school - what he does with it depends on him. I’d much rather pay for his education than pay to provide minor league experience for some thug that knows how to run with a dead pig in his hands.
