I earned my college degrees by working full time and going to school nights and weekends. At the time, they didn't have the web option that so many schools now have. There are many ways that students can cut the cost of college. They can do two years at a junior or community college. I did one year of community college while attending HS through an arrangement with my school. But colleges need to be investigated for their spiraling costs. And a lot of kids in college are there,not to get an education, but for the social life and the 'experience'. My niece is attending Rider University in NJ. THE school tuition is $35000 a year but she is getting a $21000 scholarships a year, and will finish her undergrad with no loans. I have to say I am appalled by all the additional fees schools now charge --where does that money go? And if someone like Hilary goes to speak, where does her speakers fee come from?
It's been well publicized about Obama's tendency to apologize every where he goes. In fact, much was made recently in the media that he wasn't going to apologize to the Japanese for Hiroshima. He has been a bit of an embarrassment overseas - bowing to the King of Saudia Arabia and other faux Paul.
