The president began the jam: "On July 1st of this year the interest rates of Stafford student loans, the same loans that many of you use to help pay for college, are set to double. And that means some hard working students will be paying about a thousands dollars extra just to get their education. So I've called on congress to prevent this from happening. What we've said is simple. Now is not the time to make school more expensive for our young people."
Fallon, who refers to Obama as "the Preezy of the United Steezy" and "The Barackness Monster" chimes in with: "We all know our legislative bodies in the House, tossing and turning late into the night, but still Republicans disagree and could even filibuster. But if they do, the president said, they're gonna feel it buster."
The show was filmed on the campus of the University of North Carolina. The president also commented on other issues, including Mitt Romney.
The appearance comes during a week devoted to courting the young vote, which was capped off with a Rolling Stone magazine cover interview in which he talks about Mick Jagger rifts and reflects on race.
