"Expensive College"? Who Said Anything About "Expensive"?

    While working on an analysis of the Obama campaign's new webpage devoted to President Obama's student loan Pay As You Earn plan, I noticed a telling revision from Tuesday morning to Tuesday night.  The first graphic below is the current version being used by the Obama campaign.  The second is a screen shot of the original graphic used:

    I guess it occurred to someone that "My Child wants to go to an expensive college" sounded just a tad snooty?   Mocking Mitt Romney for the responsible advice of "borrow money from your parents" or just "shop around" for a college education you can afford is one thing.  A perky "Yes, I can afford an expensive college because of Barack Obama!" is quite another.

    Note also that the expected income dropped from $50,000 to $45,000.  I guess $50,000 in the current Obama job market was a bit of a laugher since according to CNN, "Members of the Class of 2012 are being offered median starting salaries of $42,569."  Sometimes even a president campaign built on fairy tales ("Life of Julia") collides with reality.

Update:  Here's a screenshot of the original Google cache version since the Google cache has been updated and the original is no longer available.

Update 2: The Obama Truth Team still has the original graphic posted.  I posted this too.

Note: Here's a link to the post on student loans I was originally working on when I discovered the Obama website revision.
