Doughnuts anyone?

That's the question President Barack Obama likely asked Tampa firefighters early this morning.

According to the President's Twitter feed, Obama made a quick stop at the firehouse this morning after landing in Tampa and he brought breakfast.

It is unclear at this time which fire station Obama visited. He is expected to speak at Ybor City's Centennial Park at 9 a.m. today, Oct. 25.
