44, Day 95: Let Them Have Student Loans
An ongoing log of the daily activities of the 44th president of the United States during his first 100 days:
-- President Obama wants to see government stop the practice of backing private loans to college students, and instead wants to see a program of direct government financial aid to students. "We have a student loan system where we are giving lenders billions of dollars in wasteful subsidies," he said today at a White House event. Obama added that "there are few things as fundamental to the American dream or as essential as a good education."
-- Obama had to be "briefly relocated" today when authorities discovered a single-engine airplane going where it shouldn't be. The plane had gone into restricted airspace near the Capitol, and that triggered the action to move the president. White House spokesman Robert Gibbs said it was done out of an "abundance of caution."
-- A self-proclaimed BlackBerry addict, the president will soon get a top-secret version of the device.
