He misspent a lot more than just his youth.

Via Daily Caller:

President Obama discussed education reform in a Tumblr broadcast Tuesday, talking up his plan for student loans debt.

Obama talked up his executive order, announced Monday, that allows millions of graduates with high amounts of student loans to shift to the Pay As You Earn (PAYE) repayment program that caps payments at 10% of disposable income.

Though the White House previously estimated that expanding PAYE would cost up to $7 billion a year, it is now insisting that Obama’s executive order saves the country money in the long run. Obama has sold the measure as a small act to make college more affordable, yet most beneficiaries of the order have been out of college for some time. […]

Obama said, however, that he enjoyed science and math as a child, until he fell off the wagon in high school.

“I misspent those years,” the president said.
