if you've got one payment, more likely that you'll be able to make the payment. can the government afford to do this? critics are wondering whether or not the government should be lowering those interest rates on those loans it now gives up directly. the president will announce this today at the university of colorado, part of his "we can't wait" agenda, things he says he's trying to do administratively since there seems to be so much gridlock. >> astronomical numbers for a lot of students just graduating. president obama made a very fast and profitable visit to the bay area. before arriving at sfo yesterday he made a pit stop in burbank for "the tonight show." jay leno asked the president whether he was paying attention to the gop debates. >> i'm going to wait until everybody is voted off the island.
