Obama Rally Tickets Available Today

Free tickets for Barack Obama's Tampa visit will be distributed starting at 10 a.m. today, Oct. 24.

 

Tampa Bay area residents who want to get in to hear President Barack Obama speak at Ybor City’s Centennial Park still have a chance.

Lacey Rose, spokeswoman for the Obama campaign, says free tickets for the Oct. 25 rally are still available.

While tickets for Obama’s rallies have traditionally been snapped up like hotcakes, Rose said distribution has been handled differently for the Tampa “America Forward!” event at the 1800 E. 8th Ave. park in Ybor.

“We’re doing it during the day so people have more time to get them,” Rose explained.

One ticket per person will be available on a first-come, first-served basis starting at 10 a.m. today, Oct. 24, at the following Obama For America Florida offices:

Ybor City Office

1702 N. 14th St.

Riverview Office

11215 Bloomingdale Ave.

Temple Terrace Office

5246 E. Fowler, Suite 4

Egypt Lake Office

3105 W. Waters Ave, Suite 315

South Tampa Office

3825 Henderson Blvd.

Doors at the rally open at 7 a.m. on Thursday. Rose said the president is expected to speak around 9 a.m.

Anyone know if the President's new plan is posted online? They've apparently made millions of copies to hand out, but don't think online. A little disappointed since only 2 weeks to election, but better late than never. I hope is fills the blank spot and addresses tax reform and spending reforms (e.g., entitlements).

Although we need to raise revenues to help close DEBT gap, I'd be careful w this shaky economy. Many think"During the Clinton years, we raised taxed yet saw growth". However, some big differences now vs 90s:

(1) We saw a large increase in productivity and growth was spurred in 90s as a result of the Internet boom (and increased use of computers). In fact, such a boom it formed a bubble that popped in 2000 ("Dot Com Crash").

(2) The Republican Congress and Clinton implemented some important reform (e.g., Welfare) which helped the economy by increasing confidence and improving incentives.

(3) We face much much stiffer competition from global competitors.

(4) Higher ratio of entitlement recipients/workers compared to 90s.

(5) Global slowdown vs 90s.

(6) It's new post "credit boom" and the new normal.

In sum, our circumstances today are much different compared to 90s. We need tax reform (simplifying) and overall spending reforms ASAP.

How does one "open the doors" to a park?
