There is an excellent video clip on YouTube that shows Obama talking to a Wayne Community College student and her financial officer about her loan debt. Apparently, this is from this past June, but I didn’t come across it until today (thanks to Financial Aid Finder), and I thought it was worth posting.
At one point during the clip, the student (Marilyn Pace, who is studying to be a dental hygienest) breaks down in tears, and Obama comforts her. There isn’t really anything about substantive policy here, but I do think it bodes well for Obama that he has reached out to real people in real need and seems to understand that loans aren’t always the answer.
Hey, thanks for the mention of the Financial Aid Finder! Glad you liked the video — I agree with you that it bodes well
