Can he just go back to golfing during disasters?
Of course, it’s not ‘free’, we will be paying for it, and it will be a precursor to ‘free four year college’.
Via The Hill:
President Obama officially unveiled his $60 billion proposal to provide two free years of community college to all Americans on Friday, urging lawmakers to put aside their partisan differences and rally around the idea.
“I’m going to send the Congress my plan for free community college,” Obama said. “I hope the Congress will come together to support it, because opening the doors of higher education shouldn’t be a Democratic issue or a Republican issue. It’s an American issue.”
Here’s Obama’s statement on the attacks in Paris. Notice no mention of Islam or al Qaeda, as though not saying it will make people not know who was behind the attacks.
I want to begin by saying just a few words about the tragic events that we’ve watched unfold in France over the last several hours and days.”
“We’re hopeful that the immediate threat is now resolved, thanks to the courage and professionalism of the French personnel on the ground, but the French government continues to face the threat of terrorism and has to remain vigilant. The situation is fluid. President Hollande’s made it clear that they’re going to do whatever is necessary to protect their people.”
“France is our oldest ally. I want the people of France to know that the United States stands with you today, stands with you tomorrow. Our thoughts and prayers are with the families who’ve been directly impacted. We grieve with you. We fight alongside you to uphold our values, the values we share. Universal values that bind us together as friends and as allies.”
“In the streets of Paris the world has seen once again what terrorists stand for. They have nothing to offer but hatred and human suffering, and we stand for freedom and hope and the dignity of all human beings, and that’s what the city of Paris represents to the world. That spirit will endure forever, long after the scourge of terrorism is banished from this world.”
