President Barack Obama made a startling revelation about his finances while trying to connect with younger voters on the campaign trail by saying that he and Michelle had only paid off their college loans eight years ago.
While talking about the rising cost of college education, Mr Obama said that it took he and the first lady over a decade to pay off their student loans.
‘Check this out, all right? I’m the president of the United States. We only finished paying off our student loans about eight years ago,’ he said while addressing college students at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill on Tuesday.
