The President spoke Friday before more than 1,000 students, parents, teachers and D.C. area officials.
President Barack Obama seemed to strike all the right notes Friday at Washington-Lee High School in Arlington, Va. when he delivered a speech designed to put pressure on Congress to keep student loan interest rates down.
