Twitter’s Vine service has long befuddled those who doubt the value of a looping video limited to six seconds. Nevertheless, the White House thought it was a fine way for the president to unveil, informercial style, the next item on his second-term wish list: two free years of community college for “everybody who’s willing to work for it.”

Our favorite bit is where the president punches the word “free” with a quick point to the viewer.
@JimmyPrinceton Stop pointing at me like I did something wrong.

@WhiteHouse By "work for it" do you mean go into public service like teaching or by being a nurse? #FreeCommunityCollege

@WhiteHouse @ShannonBream How about if we all get free 17-day trips to Hawaii this winter? It's "not fair" that I have to be this cold.
