TAMPA - President Bush is scheduled to spend a few hours on Friday afternoon in Tampa talking terrorism.

A speech by Bush on terrorism and the town hall meeting will be at the Tampa Port Authority's Terminal 3. It is sponsored by the St. Petersburg Area and Greater Tampa chambers of commerce.

The chambers have invited area business and civic leaders to attend, said John T. Long, president of the St. Petersburg chamber. About 500 people are expected. The Tampa chamber's e-mail invitation indicated it had 100 seats available, but the deadline to respond was at the close of business Wednesday.

Bush often speaks to prescreened audiences of supporters, but Long said the chambers are not inquiring about politics when accepting an R.S.V.P. "We want the audience to look like our community," he said.

Pinellas County Republican Chairman Tony Dimatteo said he was not aware of the Tampa speech.

the Chambers of Commerce has a very broad list of both parties :sarcasm:

Predominately white and Neo-con Christian so they can worship the Fuhrer!

"We want the audience to look like our community," he said.

but I can damn well assure you that political party was a consideration when they sent the invitations.

have been sold to the United Arab Emirates?

to recieve additional funding to help fight the war on terror. After all it is a major port city:banghead::banghead::banghead:

signed: raging in Tampa!!!

It helps but is still confusing. Why do we have anyone except U.S. businesses running any part of our port system. This is all unbelievable. All the article mentioned was Repubs that were objecting, this makes no sense why are no dems objecting. And yet Gore gets hammered for saying while in Saudia Arabia, terrorist friendly, that we shouldn't have treated Arabs so poorly while incarcerated here and abroad, and arresting them without clear reason. The bush bunch don't mind playing it both ways, locking arabs up without cause or hearings yet give the Saudis port authority (authority goes both was, ha)

by a company from Saudia Arabia? Lou Dobbs keeps mentioning a Saudi company that will be running most of our major ports if the agreement goes through. This has gotton no press. Am I just not hearing right or is this totally insane and no one is noticing?

And it is getting virtually no coverage.

I first read this story in last Sunday's Seattle newspaper; they picked it up off the AP wire. I cannot understand why the MSM isn't all over this.

How crass! Speaking of the incompetent -

what exactly has Dick Cheney done for this country as VP. Does he do any tangible work? I have never seen him hold a press conference, talk about the economy, discuss healthcare or working families or the poor.

actually working instead of jet-setting around the country giving speeches to his supporters every other day?

down on AF1 it may not start again.

Not Tampa.

....Pinellas County Republican Chairman Tony Dimatteo said he was not aware of the Tampa speech.

it. It was published today on tbo.com, The Tampa Tribune's online site. Pathetic. Ticketmaster tells me when some shit band is coming to town 4 months from now, but it seems strategic that there's little press release about the pResident coming to town.

As usual, DU is my primary news source.

30 years. Don't miss it although I think hubby does somewhat. Need to click on Mother Trib's site and see what ole Dan Ruth has been writing lately.

He's gone OFF on ole Bushco quite a bit in the last 6 months, as only he can.
