If you waited to get tickets to see President Barack Obama at Hillsborough Community College Friday, you're out of luck.
Obama's Florida campaign said Wednesday that the free tickets were snatched up in less than five hours, when they were made available Tuesday.
People flooded the four Tampa Bay-area Obama For America offices where tickets were handed out on a first-come, first-serve basis Tuesday.
Even some Republicans got in on the action, like Scott Goldston, who joined his wife and daughter in line at the Obama campaign office in Riverview.
"I'm a Republican, I voted for Obama last time," . "I just wanted to hear him talk, to see if I wanted to vote for him again."
The free tickets were also handed out at the Obama re-election offices in St. Petersburg, Ybor City and Wesley Chapel.
If You Go
Obama will be speaking Friday afternoon, June 22, at the Dale Mabry Campus of Hillsborough Community College, 4001 W. Tampa Bay Blvd.
The president is expected to speak at about 4:15 p.m., his campaign said.
Do a little research please .... Fast and Furious was approved during King George "the Dumb-Ya"s reign ... now the mostly-the-very same Congress that was in on it is trying to prosecute Eric Holder? ... It is a real stinkin' mess and being turned for political spin. A bunch of people need to come into the light for this.
Primarily because of all of our Electoral College votes ... you can win big chunks of votes. This is an institution that, when first introduced to it as a 5th grader, found myself saying "wow, that must have been pretty useful .... right up until the invention of the telegraph". I still hold that very same opinion .... 40+ years later. If we ran with a straight-forward "he who gets the most actual votes, gets elected", based on national numbers, it would simplify so much about the elections. Right now, it is more of a game of strategy, and overloads some areas, bypassing many others. Might actually get the candidates out to some places where a lot of folks who need more time and exposure with them, rather than saturating key locales. It would be an eye-opener for the candidates and better for everyone in general. I am sure candidates LOVE photo ops of them campaigning in Florida ... where it is some of the prettiest stuff to broadcast. Send them to some places that need a boost.
he has had many with actors at 80000 a plate.
"It could send our suffering economy into a deeper and longer recession." The money will come from the Wall Street bailout passed by Congress, a reversal for the White House. President-elect Barack Obama and Democrats had long advocated that course, and Bush had resisted it. Of the total, $13.4 billion will be paid out in December and January, administration officials told reporters in a briefing. The last $4 billion is contingent on release of the second installment of the Wall Street bailout funds by Congress.

Here are numbers they are NOT telling you: 1) 368,000 people STOPPED looking for work in August. Meaning they CANNOT be counted as unemployed. These people have no more unemployment benefits to claim and have realized there are zero jobs out there for them. If you were to re-calculate those numbers and include the people who are no longer looking for work, the unemployment rate would be 12%. This number does not include the UNDEREMPLOYED, or the people who have stopped looking for work over the past 3 years; that number would be an astonsighjing 23% 2) 69% of men are working. Meaning 31% are not. The lowest % of working men since the 1940's. 3) The number of employed Americans is at the lowest number in the past 31 years. An incredible number considering there are more people now in the USA than there were in 1981. 4) A record high of 88,921,000 Americans whom are not in the civilian labor force. 5) Manufacturers have cut the most jobs in August than at anytime in the past two years. 6) The supposed "job growth" each month is LESS THAN the number of people LEAVING the workforce every month. People leaving the work force CANNOT be counted as unemployed.
E-mail him and ask him if it is true because it is. You will not get an answer to your question. This has all been fact checked and is true. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-wIfI2whjiM
If Obama, gets re-elected, control will remain with corporate America, and the elite in society. If Romney gets elected, control will remain with corporate America, and the elite in society. It is a two party dictatorship-view it how you want. I am not a fan of our sitting President, but I take issue to the fact that the republican house showed no partisanship in the last four years-only votes in favor for them to position themselves for a takeover of power. The citizens of this country were never a consideration. Albert Einstein was quoted as defining insanity by "doing the same thing over and over -expecting different results. So go ahead, vote for either party in the two party system and expect four more years of pain and suffering, or take a brave step, and vote independant-if it don't work, it is at least a fighting chance from a guaranteed continual loss of our identity. Have a nice day.
