It's not limited to teens either. Obama said ALL. I wonder if that includes the illegals.
You bet your hide it does.
Obama proposes free community college program
The White House on Thursday announced a proposal that President Barack Obama said would make community college "free for everybody who is willing to work for it." But administration officials provided no details about the program's costs or where the money would come to pay for it.

The Obama administration, summed up in one short sentence.
Not sure how much more free community college can get. I just graduated (went for 3 and a half semesters) and got Pell Grants the entire time. I didn't pay more than about 10 bucks for tuition and maybe another 10-15 for supplies my first year. I ended up usually with hundreds of dollars left over at the end of each semester. Unless you just aren't eligible for whatever reason, you shouldn't have to pay a dime to get in and out of CC in a reasonable amount of time, unless you are just hanging out and not really focused on actually learning something.
It already is. Most 4 year degrees will get you a $10 an hour job these days. Look what companies are offering on some of the job sites. Most of them can't even spell in those recruitment posts.
No details yet. But good news..free 2 year college education for all.
Just need to keep "moderate grades" is all he's asking.
Hoo Ya..I'm going back to college
FYI..I love taking classes and would go to the local CC for a 2 year degree..maybe business, maybe accounting.

"It's not just for kids," Obama said. "We also have to make sure that everybody has the opportunity to constantly train themselves for better jobs, better wages, better benefits."

Obama planned to formally announce the plan Friday at Pellissippi State Community College in Knoxville, Tennessee. He gave a preview in a videotaped message shot aboard Air Force One and posted on Facebook.
Oh look, 2016 rhetoric and posturing by the Dems to demonize the opposition that will go nowhere. How cute.
