US Presidency
2013

And I've asked my team to shake the trees all across the country for some of the best ideas out there for keeping college costs down, so that as students prepare to go back to school, I am in a position to lay out what's going to be an aggressive strategy to shake up the system to make sure that middle class students, working-class students, poor kids who have the drive and the wherewithal and want to get a good college education, they can get it without basically mortgaging their entire future. We can make this happen but this is an example of the kind of thing we've got to focus on instead of a bunch of distractions in Washington.
