[digg-reddit-me]According to today’s New York Times profile of Michelle Obama, the Obamas were just able to pay off their student loans a “couple of years ago” – presumably with the proceeds from Dreams of My Father after it became a bestseller.
I think this probably says more about the increasing cost of college than it does of Mr. Obama’s relative youth. After all – the Clintons were the same age in 1992 as the Obamas are now, and although I do not know when Mr. and Ms. Clinton’s college loans were paid off, I am pretty certain it was some time before they decided to run for president.
Today, some student loans are repaid over 30 years. I have no idea how long mine are set to be paid over – but I’m planning as if I will be paying them for the foreseeable future. There are some in my generation will still be paying off their loans when they are in their fifties.

Absolutely! The cost of college these days is crazy. I was asked about Obama’s stance on student loans, though, and I didn’t know what to say. The website covers the American Opportunity Tax Credit and simplifying the current FAFSA system, but nothing about loans (that I could find). And that’s one place where Hillary is really strong (I know I like a lot of what she’s said about student loans). Any links to Obama’s stance? I’d be really interested.
