President Obama wants to give Americans the gift of free college

At a speech Friday in Knoxville, Tennessee, Obama will be announcing his proposal to give some American workers two years of a community college education.  Obama made the announcement via a Facebook post on Thursday evening with a video teasing the proposal and outlining the basics behind this idea.  + "Put simply, what I'd like to do is to see the first two years of community college free for everybody who's willing to work for it," Obama says in the video. "That's right, free for everybody who's willing to work for it. It's something that we can accomplish and something that we can train our workforce so that we can compete with anybody in the world." + One problem: So far, that plan doesn’t have an official price tag — other than “significant,” according to White House officials. + If all 50 states participate, the proposal could benefit 9 million students each year and save students an average of $3,800 in tuition, the White House said. + "With no details or information on the cost, this seems more like a talking point than a plan,” Cory Fritz, a spokesman for House Speaker John Boehner, told the New York Times.
