Do you mean Mrs. Joe Biden?

This email from The Obama's PR outfit about the Dems' socialization of higher education is peculiar on various levels. First, they act like "Dr. Jill Biden" is being quoted/paraded because she has a PhD in Education. Well, actually she's Joe Biden's wife. That doesn't mean she isn't smart or accomplished in her own right, but she gets her own email because she's married to Amtrak Joe.

And I enjoyed this paragraph highlighting the fact that Democrats smuggled this into law under the cloak of Obamacare:
[The Gov't's takeover of college "loans" is] a tremendous achievement, but the news may get lost in the excitement around the passage of comprehensive health care reform. So we need to make sure that when folks open the local paper to the letters page this week, they'll see notes from their neighbors supporting these important reforms.

And, just to make us think he's delivering on a campaign promise--any campaign promise, the email tells us:
In Spring 2007, on a conference call with students, then-Senator Barack Obama called for major reform to federal student loans:

"We shouldn't be providing billions in taxpayer-funded giveaways to private banks. We should be providing an affordable, accessible college education to every American."
Yay, universal college education!!! Well, even if all Americans don't get college degrees, at least all Americans can pay for college degrees--universal tuition payments!!!
