CONCORD, N.H. | New Hampshire isn’t just first in the nation when it comes to hosting presidential primaries. It also ranks first in student-loan debt, and now the winner of the state’s Republican presidential primary is seizing on that fact to argue that President Obama has let down students.
Coinciding with Vice President Joseph R. Biden’s visit last week to Keene State College, the Republican Party released a Web ad juxtaposing video of New Hampshire college students describing their staggering debt with what it characterized as Mr. Obama’s failed promises to deliver relief.
At least one of the students featured in the ad was not happy to learn that his comments were used to further an argument he rejects.
“Considering I am not a supporter of Mitt Romney, this is not exactly sitting well with me,” said Matt Raso, who just finished his sophomore year at Southern New Hampshire University. The 19-year-old from Warwick, R.I., expects to graduate with roughly $80,000 in debt and said he doesn’t hold Mr. Obama or the federal government responsible for any of it.
