Ouch! Obama Limiting Student Loans

Mr. President, Once again in a display of your lack of insight, you are slamming banks for lending to students. You shun them for giving us money that is difficult to pay back. May, I suggest challenging the higher education system which charges out of state and private students insurmountable and corrupt sums of money for tuition?

Proudly, I'm a product of the Community and Jesuit college system, and about to graduate from medical school. I have no question I recieved the same quality teaching as my peers from schools with prestigious names. My decision to enter medical school, and its daunting expense was justified to me because I knew I would have the means to pay it back. Conversely, a student with a passion for teaching Philosophy, for instance, does not have this incentive. No doubt many talented potential educators have chosen an alternate field because of fear of debt.

If you are going to attack anyone, please don't let it be someone that enables motivated people like me to reach the highest echelons of education.
