You don't know much about college debt. In order to qualify for the large amount of loans and school assistance that Obama had, he would have been required to work. I was required to do college work study, otherwise I would have lost my pell grants and I would have been disqualified from receiving some of the favorable interest rate student loans underwritten by the government. Obama was in the same boat in undergrad at Columbia.

To me, it's as if you don't want to address the point I raised. It's probable that neither Obama or Hillary had to work (at a job) while going to college. If that's the case there's not a lot of difference is there? Yes, there is......even if Obama didn't work during the summers, and I ain't buying that one, have you ever tried being black in a white world? Hell, last year, they had a hot, white woman put on a fat suit and go out into the world. After 6 hours, she was devastated by the number of rude, insensitive remarks that came her way. Now try doing that as a black person. By comparison, Hillary had a cakewalk. Trust me.
