Obama Coming to Tampa Bay on Friday

Want to see President Barack Obama when he visits Tampa? Here's how.

Barack Obama is coming to Tampa this week.

The president will hold a grassroots event Friday afternoon, June 22, at the Dale Mabry Campus of Hillsborough Community College, 4001 W. Tampa Bay Blvd.

Want to See Obama? Here's How

The event is free and open to the public, but space is limited and tickets are required. They will be available starting at 5 p.m. Tuesday on a first-come, first-serve basis at the following Obama For America offices:

OFA-Florida Ybor City Office
1702 N. 14th St.
Tampa, FL 33605

OFA-Florida St. Petersburg Office
951 Central Ave.
Suite A
St. Petersburg, FL 33705

According to his Florida press office, Obama will talk about "whether we continue to move our country forward by creating an economy that’s built to last based on a strong, secure middle class, or go back to the same failed policies that led to the financial crisis that left middle-class Americans struggling to make ends meet."

The event will take place in the Dale Mabry Campus Gymnasium sometime in the late afternoon Friday. Additional details will be released in the coming days.

Just different failed policies

Watch out for the traffic jams at rush hour. I wouldn't want to be near there.

You couldn't pay me to go see him, but thanks for the update. Now I'll know why there's a stench in the air this weekend.

I know doors open at 1pm, but does anyone know what time he will begin speaking?

I may or may not disagree with an individual, with a candidate for office. However I will do so respectfully, not divisively, Given the level of contention that we all are confronted with in this election season, why do individuals engaged in belittling remarks? I would have to wonder how long it was before the event was fully subscribed? Less than a day?

Barack, Executive Priviledge will not protect you, now we know it goes all the way up to you, first apologize to Brian Terry's family then to hundreds of Mexican families whose children and Mothers and Fathers were murdered because of Fast & Furious, your Ex. Priviledge will be struck down just like Nixon's was, you are going down for Murder

I agree. He's done much to help dig our country out of the hole GWB dug. http://www.filthyliberal.com

You think the conservatives here are bad? Try looking at foxnationdotcom some time. Or posting a question at answers.yahoo with President Obama in any part of it. Conservatives have went out of their minds the last three years. Or maybe we are just seeing what they really are inside. http://www.filthyliberal.com
