Obama Signs Student Loan Legislation

[StevenWormuth]

Any occupy wall street guys protesting "big education"? Damn greedy colleges...

[angygrle]

thank you Obama, help people who are already involved with predatory lending companies like Sallie MAE!!!

[forwardmover]

Taking businesses away from business and giving it to UNIONIZED FEDERAL GOVERNMENT WORKERS who will campaign for Obama. We really need to dump these Democrats. FAST!

[forwardmover]

You think its just coincidence that Obama has Mexicans looking over his shoulder, right there, one looking like a mexican maid? You don't think Obama knows who he has to suck up to these days to get re-elected. Amnesty of illegals could easily happen during lame duck session. We should see more of the real Obama very soon.

[forwardmover]

OBAMA THE SOCIALIST. America's #1 con man. While competing against Hillary clinto , did you hear anything from Obama about this SOCIALIST takeover an industry ?

Of course, not! Another reason he is now called "Obama, The Liar".

[rumormater]

Now education is the key to another bail-out just like Fannie Mae and Freddy Mac!! Don't worry about student loan, after 10 years, we will have a Healthcare economic meltdown any way!!

[gchand7]

And this had what to do with Health Care?

[nandansho]

Hey Obama Thanks Bro! Education is the key to opportunities!

[Retic92]

I find it hard to believe Obama doesn't like lobbyists when over 4000 just wrote the health care bill. Anyway, how about a real solution Soetoro? How about stopping student loans all together so that Colleges can't charge outrageous prices for an education even the dumbest of students can figure out is a rip off? Now, all you've done is force more dependency on the government. But thats what you really want isn't it?

[elrugged1]

@Retic92 EXXXXactly

[cghgrn123]

we need jobs,what good is an education if you do not have jobs

[diznab900]

obama i love you, thank you so much, fuck the republican hypocrites

[elrugged1]

@diznab900 Yeah, obama we love you for fucking everything up, thanx bro

[33115566]

Touchy subject. Query: How did you pay for your college expenses Mr. President? Answer: The records are sealed and I ain't talkin'.

[172677]

Oh My. Run! Hide! Obama is up to his fascist, marxist, maoist, nazi tactics again. What a terrible thing.....run for the hills. Imagine!  Making it easier for our kids to atten college... A conspiracy....he's trying to take over our youth and turn them into brown shirts. Oh......woe is me!!!!

[Wildkkat1]

If anyone thinks this guy is helping students, why is every state having to make massive education cuts to balance their budgets? He is lying!

[xrandomxiamx]

Government take over?? What exactly is the government taking over when it comes to education? They have been funding poor students through subsidised loans, Pell grants, and other forms. They're trying to stop private agencies from raising interest rates whenever they feel like it. Have any of you dumbasses ever paid for your own education before? It's fucking expensive. It's also nerveracking to know Sallie Mae could raise your interest rate to 25% if she wanted to.

[Bux7777]

Government money drives the cost up

wherever the biggest gov. programs are ... there you will see the highest inflation

[jjacks81]

so does this mother fucker know how to do anything except spend money?!

[gchand7]

@jjacks81 He talks too much...

[tmcgeo39]

Sounds like universities will contiue to have access to guranteed funds that will only ensure they can continue to increase tuition costs at an alarming rate in perpetuity. As always this is an example of the gov thinking they are solving a problem only to create new ones. And the people cheering eat it up.

[jimisback]

They can't even cut costs by using one pen.

[DillonX]

This was badly needed.

Bush/Cheney removed regulations on the lenders & once a student missed a payment the rate soared to around 30%. Before long a $10K loan turned into $30K with all kinds of fee - and no bankruptcy or even death will keep it from soaring more. We needed to bring sanity back to the program.

[theVAGINAntichrist]

Great, now the schools will have even more incentive to raise tuitions.

[scubaguy30]

Be nice if he went after the teacher's unions or the book publishers. Tenure is bullshit.

[wtfoof]

@scubaguy30 , Since when do professor have union?

[dkkght46]

Question: How many of those 2,500 Sallie May employees want to admit they voted for Obama? Question: For those who are honest enough to admit it, how is he working out for you?

[treid100182]

an extra $500 for students...in ten years?????

This is bullshit.

[Orionx30]

MORE GOVERNMENTAL TAKE OVER. JESUS... Profits are not evil... They are good.

[KuostA]

ABOUT TIME OBAMA STARTS TO LOOK AND ATTACK student spending/SCHOOL/EDUCATION. The SChools are in a HORRIBLE position right now .MASS cutbacks, students get les for PAYING MORE. TEACHER head increases.

[EnglishSpaceDog]

Republicans are opposed to education and health care.

[LogicLyfe]

@morph995

LOL, conspiracy crap doesn't work on me. Show me facts.

[BeantownJim]

Fact is no where in the US Constitution does it say a free house a free car or healthcare This is not a conspiracy It's robbery!

[LogicLyfe]

@BeantownJim

Robbery of whom?

I felt robbed, when my tax payer money, paid for a war, i didn't support, and You bitch about things that's going to benefit America?

I don't care what you Right-wing nutcases say, reform is the best thing America, can have right now. It's not a conspiracy, nor "Communism".

[BeantownJim]

well if you felt robbed before from the previous administration Wait til obongo gets done! an increase of 4 % income tax plus hiden taxes on inflation Not to mention state taxes! Yeah i do call it robbery! And for another thing This is the socialism people are against! This is just another excuse to not pay any school funding!

[BeantownJim]

Did i mention the Bush taxcuts end this year? You can add that to the increase of income tax too!

[BeantownJim]

also 15 million people out of work That means no revenues! add that to the increase in taxes!

[BeantownJim]

Your tax money that went to war Is still going to war! Another promise obongo renigged on

[Orionx30]

@LogicLyfe Afghanistan

[shaithis45]

@LogicLyfe, since when do student loans have anything to do with healthcare reform? Sounds a little fraudulent when cleverly packaged in the name of healthcare reform. The way I see things though as long as I'm paying my forced admission price to the Feds which unreasonably raises my monthly cost of living, the last thing I want to hear coming out of a corrupted govt is one that mandates healthcare and fines you if you don't have coverage.

[shaithis45]

@LogicLyfe, also the cost of that 4 year degree has risen per semester. At my age I just simply cannot afford to be burning through that type of money per semester at a four year. If I want to educate myself now and in the future, I'll stick to the simpler junior colleges and earn two year degrees. When college costs go out of scope of the public market where one has to choose between rent and education, I'll handle my living expenses 1st and put education on the back burner.

[telepylus111]

Now all we need to do is reform the education system and America can get back on track.

[imanisankofa]

I don't like Sallie Mae...at all!

[jaowseph]

whats up with the different pens?

[everythingeco]

He passes out the different pens as souvenirs, usually to important figures that aided in his missions. Presidents have been doing it for a long time. Can you imagine what one of those pens would go for on eBay?

[LogicLyfe]

I'm all for this student loan reform.

Fuck the haters!

[BeantownJim]

This nut is running out of ink!

[egyptahly]

@BeantownJim loooooooooooolllllllllllzzzz

[PERIZ99]

@BeantownJim FUCK haters like YOU..!!!

[trucking42witness]

Thank you Mr. President! We need help for our young students!

[Z0mgZ0mbies]

@trucking42witness Yes Thank your Mr. President for giving out student loans to SO MANY people! Which is allowing College's to RAISE TUITION and suck me dry even more!!! I am Middleclass and I love Obama.

[WingThaiJ]

@trucking42witness Yes, Obama, Buy Those Votes; by allowing other people's $ to pay for loans we head even closer to economic collapse. Of course people are going to love you for this, if you hand me several grand, whoopie; Wow, thank you tax payers for paying more my loan... It's like the subprime problem didn't matter, do the same thing w/loans... Sounds great, until our deficit grows well beyond any means of control

[52andlearning]

the man is on a roll! hooray! @170324341a if you notice he is not using same pen over and over. he uses a new one for each signature. commonplace practice with our presidents

[crystalclear888]

way to go!

[170324341a]

will somone explain the etiquette used there by obama, of putting down the pen and picking it up over and over again? please and thank you.

[msesq1]

He was singing the bill with 28 or 24 pens to give to congress I guess as a way of giving them a piece of history. He did the same for the health care bill.

[JAG82]

maybe he needs a different pen for every letter in his name, cause hes gangsta like that

[pubtor]

wat a tedious process
