We've had some readers asking about specific parking information for the rally. I'm trying to track down some information now and will post a separate story on parking as soon as I can.

ABUSE AGAINST WOMEN WILL INCREASE DRAMATICALLY IF OBAMA IS RE-ELECTED! Watch 8 minute VIDEO @ TheBBCReport.com

Secrets Guru, your comments are uncalled for and are clearly an example of a individual who represents no party but only yourself. I and other will continue to ask you to leave until you exit the area. Your comments are offensive to all and I hope you get the help you need!

For tickets, visit the Obama for America office in Winthrop, off Bloomingdale Avenue between Watson and Providence roads. Tickets being distributed first-come, first-served.

All people who care about women's rights, health care, protecting Medicare and Social Security, the separation of church and state, keeping regulations on Wall Street greed, having consumer protections, and don't want more tax cuts for the rich, should attend the Obama rally in Tampa. Our country needs to move forward with a strong middle class and not backwards by electing rich plutocrats like Romney who will decimate the middle class and leave us to fight over the crumbs that they will be leaving the rest of us.

Is there anything specific that we need to have in order to get the tickets? i.e. a driver's licence perhaps? I found some offices that still have them and I want to be prepared.

I cannot be at rally...More important than that is to VOTE Obama/Biden early or on election day !!

Since Pres. Obama won the last 2 debates, I have begun to see more Obama/Biden signs and the excitement is back in the air. Pres. Obama's rallies have been really funny and exciting lately. When Pres. Obama talks about Mitt suffering from a case of "Romnesia", and how it can be cured by Obamacare, it really brings down the house. I can now see the momentum shifting back to Pres. Obama. Let's try to show up for this rally and then vote to make sure that Pres. Obama wins the state of Florida.

And that's supposed to be a map of what... something in Pinellas?

Do I need a ticket for my 4 year old granddaughter for tomorrow?

Ann, you might. Your best bet to be sure though is to call the Obama For America Florida office in Tampa at (813) 720-5637. Hope that helps!

I picked up a ticket earlier and I wanted two so my wife could go too but no joy. Want to know why? I had to show photo id. I don't understand why. Florida does require a photo id to vote, but not all states do. Do people getting tickets in other states (those without an id requirement) have to show id too? I think this stinks.

Check out this short debate, Biden vs. Biden.
Then Vote Romney / Ryan. in Nov.

TJG, I laugh when Republicans like you try to blame the economic problems of the last 4 years on Pres. Obama. It was Pres. Bush who left this country in a mess by starting two wars that he never paid for and then gave tax cuts to millionaires. It was Bush who cut regulations on Wall Street and allowed excessive speculation and the writing of bad mortgages that ruined our economy. I hope you know that in Florida we have had only Republican governors for the last 14 years and both the Senate and the House of Representatives have been under Republican control since 1996. Somehow Republicans now try to blame all of Florida's economic problems solely on Pres. Obama when it was their own short sighted policies that caused our economic problems. It was Republican policies that underfunded education, that failed to properly diversify Florida's economy beyond tourism and construction, that kept us as a low wage sevice economy, all the while enriching themselves in Tallahassee and focusing on building bad projects like the Taj Mahal Courthouse instead of helping out the people.

Two of the most important points from Obama's speech this morning:

"...I don't think any politician in Washington, most of whom are male, should be making healthcare decisions for women..."

and

“When you elect a president, you’re counting on someone you can trust to fight for you, who you can trust to do what they say they’re going to do, who you can trust to make sure that when something unexpected happens he or she is going to be thinking about your family, your future...Trust matters!”

The Quote of the Decade:
"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America's debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the US Government cannot pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government's reckless fiscal policies. Increasing America 's debt weakens us domestically and internationally. Leadership means that, "the buck stops here.' Instead, Washington is shifting the burden of bad choices today onto the backs of our children and grandchildren. America has a debt problem and a failure of leadership. Americans deserve better."
~ Senator Barack H. Obama, March 2006

(it was so nice of him to give us this great quote for posterity!)

Yes it was. And many of the results of the"W" Bush years were just beginning to manifest themselves in 2006 and did not really hit until 2007-2008. The Congress allowed TWO UNfunded (and undeclared) WARS, one of which which still continues because this president went along with the Republicans (mostly) in the House and the US Generals who wanted to stay. I do not recall any such madness toward FDR after the sneak attack on Pearl harbor where we lost thousands or toward "W" & Cheney after 9/11 (even though they were forewarned) where we also lost thousands. But the Republicans are going nuts over the sneak attack in Libya that cost us 4 men. At age 73 I have never seen so much lying as I have from the Right in this campaign. The Debt level they keep attacking was created by these TWO Wars and Wall Street. Obama is trying to deal with that mess. $750 BILLION went to Wall Streets bailout and $750 BILLION went to our bailout. The former is OK with the Republicans, many millions of which went to the problem creators as bonuses, while the latter saved tens of thousands of critical (teachers, police and firemen) jobs, but this is BAD to the Republicans. WHY?? They are backward. This story goes on and on and much of American does not seem to remember just 6-8 years ago. And the press is just REACTINg vice investigating before they speak. I hope we do not pay for America's lack of memory.

I'm with you Richard. I believe a lot of people are so terribly gullible about this economy thing because as the economy was circling the bowl at the end of 2008, it was actually SO BAD that the "pundits" didn't even want to talk about it...it was that scary and just a little exageration or irresponsibility from the press and everything would have become hysterical. I believe history will show that Barack Obama is a great man, the likes of which you get maybe once in a generation. The American people were right in 2008, and they should be proud of that choice and reelect him for a second term.
We have been lucky to have him in the office, and I am going out and working my BUTT off this week because I want him rehired!
