As Mark Knoller reports, despite the heat, Obama will be joined by student props in the White House Rose Garden to play politics with student loan rates again.

There’s no rain in the forecast, so President Prop-aganda won’t need to recruit a Marine to hold his umbrella. But no worries! The warm temps may still deliver an opportunity for an optics snafu as he stages his phony interest-rate fight today.
