I wouldn't be at all shocked to hear that this is a political play. I have a feeling Obama is going to spend much of the next two years defying the republicans and trying to separate himself and the democrats from the republicans. This way going on 2016 the democrats can say, "We tried to give you free college, affordable healthcare blah blah blah and the republicans want to take it all away."
BTW I like your idea about making the free college only apply to those looking to learn a direct trade. I just read earlier tonight that only a tiny percent of the people who go to community college end up getting a 4 year degree. We shouldn't be paying for them to just spend 2 years finding themselves, but if they want to be nurses, or welders or plumbers etc then it could be a very good thing.
