Obama Dodges When Asked Which 2016 Candidate Has the Best Ideas for Cost of College

‘You know – I – let me – I’m gonna beg out this question a little bit’

OBAMA: “Listen, I’m right there with you.” (Laughter) 

UNKNOWN MALE: “Okay. In your opinion, of all the next presidential candidates that are in line, which ones have the best ideas for education reform to make it more affordable and accessible?”

OBAMA: “Well, you know, I – let me -- (laughter and applause) -- I’m going to beg off this question a little bit. I promise you I’m generally going to give you straight answers. On this one, I’m going to wiggle around a little bit. (Laughter) Right now, I’m going to try to stay out of the campaign season until it -- partly because I can’t keep track of all the candidates. (Laughter) So I’ll wait until it’s winnowed down a little bit before I have an opinion.”
