In response to:
Wasn't it the democrat-controlled Congress in 2007 that set the current college loan rates to expire in the middle of a presidential campaign and double the rate? And, Barack is going around moaning to college students about college costs increasing so much. Shouldn't he be jawboning on college presidents and trustees about that, rather than community organizing students to get angry at Congress?
He's desperate to rekindle an old romance, and taxpayers have the high privilege of financing his dates:
President Barack Obama will take a two-day, three-state trip this week to visit college campuses and talk about student loan interest rates. The trip is billed as an official one, paid for by taxpayers. But the Obama campaign is also capitalizing on the trip, touting the president's student-loan message and drawing contrasts with Mitt Romney. The cross-pollenization between the president's official duties and his campaigning for reelection already has drawn sharp rebukes from Republicans....
Student loan rates have been set to expire on June 30 for years. There was no change to the date that I am aware of.
It was a setup for a wedge issue in a election year.
Demorats playing politics, nothing new here.
