Obama to visit Palm Beach County on Thursday, Biden coming next week
by George Bennett | July 16th, 2012President Obama will visit West Palm Beach on Thursday during a two-day campaign swing through crucial and closely contested Florida.
Obama will stop in Jacksonville before coming to West Palm Beach on Thursday. He’s scheduled to spend Thursday night in Manalapan, then attend Friday events in Fort Myers and Orlando. Additional details have not been released by the Obama campaign.
Vice President Joe Biden is scheduled to address the National Association of Police Organizations convention in Manalapan on Monday.
Obama won Florida with 51 percent in 2008 and polls show him in a close race with Mitt Romney for the state’s 29 electoral votes this year. Obama has made several stops in Florida this year. He made appearances in Lake Buena Vista and Tampa on June 22, then scooped up more than $1.4 million in contributions at a pair of Miami Beach fundraisers on June 26.
Obama visited Palm Beach County in April, attending a fundraiser in Palm Beach Gardens and speaking at Florida Atlantic University in Boca Raton.

How come democrats always attack black elected candidates and those running for office?
They attack Allen West, they attack Lt. Governor Jennifer
Carroll and they attacked Kendrick Meek, who was THE black democrat candidate for Senator in FL and the democrat head honchos urged other democrats to vote for Independent Charlie Crist! Local democrats honchos even advocated for Billionaire and new resident of Palm Beach over Kendrick Meek.
Thought democrats were open minded.
Sorry, black candidates, you’re still on the bottom with democrats.
Republicans SUPPORT their black candidate Allen West. They HELP Allen West.
and the democrat party attacks WEst for his military service and speaking his mind.
In Palm Beach County, black candidates get to the back of the line when running for office.

Of course obama likes Florida, we have some of the best golf courses in the country. When they remove all of the dead voters off the roles, we may be able to got our country back from this socialist moron.

They are coming to visit their extreme left wing socialist nut job headquarters in PBC.

Obama has so debased and demeaned the Presidency that a visit simply means he is using taxpayers money to collect donations. He is a small, venal man acting in small, venal ways.

Great, Obama is coming here to drum up money and votes. The money might be a problem, but he should be able to snag a lot of votes from the 800,000 illegal aliens that he pardoned and allowed them to stay here in the USA. Why wouldnt they vote for him, free medical, free educations, free food, and free housing?

Thanks for forewarning me…time to leave town. This Independent is disgusted with this President. He didn’t get my vote last time and will definitely not this time. As far as Biden is concerned he’s a total brainless twit not worth talking about. They should just stay out of Florida-they both turn my stomach.

It’s no surprise Mr. “tax the rich” is coming to Manalapan.
The great divider, class warfare president, is always down on the rich & successful, yet always going where the money is, wheather it’s Hollywood, Manhatten, or Manalapan.
He’s so phoney he makes me sick.
He can”t be voted out of office fast enough for me!!
July 16th, 2012 at 4:09 pm
So Mr. Nuff?
If Obaaama is Small and Venal? What the heck is Alan West ( Republican basically court marialed from Military Service but acting like a war hero…) or Mark Foley? Republicans appointed him to head up Internet Child Protection and resigns over a creepy sex scandal involving minors? Or US REP THadeus Mccotter who resigned over a scandal FORGING thousands of voter role petition signatures? Or how about the current lesbian scandal surrounding our Lt Gov now….it goes on and on……
All politicians today could not be smaller or more venal, regardless of political affiliation, they should rename the capital Lilliputia!

Obama is ruining my days.. The entire county will be closed down just so the President can tell more lies..
July 16th, 2012 at 4:32 pm
Oh Boy!
The Campaigner in Chief is coming to my area to explain why I should vote for him based on his many accomplishments in the last three and a half years.
How life in our country has gotten so much better,
That we are additionally prosperous since his policies provided more freedoms to innovate and charge ahead,
That everyone is so positive and eager to start new businesses to employ additional others in a vibrant economy with more liberties and less inhibiting government hindrances.
BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!
What a clown! What a joke!

Lets put good ole repbublicans like hank paulson, mark foley, Alan West, Sarah Palin, Mccutter, in charge. This will be mo betta cause it will shut up the tea baggies that do nothing but complain but other than that present no intelligent solution.
Mitt Romney? Mr hide all my money in the Cayman Islands so I won’t have to pay my fair share? That’s the Tea Baggie solution?

It’s bad enough that obama’s going to win in november, but does he have to rub it in !!!!!

Hey Bill, you can move to another capitalist country if he wins.
Oh wait, nevermind.
There arent any capitalist countries anywhere. They are all socialist and have healthcare systems
I guess its time to become pyranoid.
July 16th, 2012 at 5:32 pm
I’d vote for Romney, but I remember the last Republican president elected, who was a governor, tanked the stock market, wrecked the economy, read a book to little children while we were attacked on our homeland, then went to war on a lie and killed over 4,000 military heroes and crippled thousands others in Iraq.
Now I am asked to vote for a tax dodging, minister of a cult religion, who has one less military deferment during Vietnam Nam than Dick Cheney, flip flopper.
Hmmmm. I think I ll pass.
July 16th, 2012 at 5:33 pm
He must be staying at the only middle class folks who live in Manalapan. No righteous millionaire in their mind would host this socialist lying American wrecking way of life person. Go to Europe BO and run for king of France or Spain or the motherlode GREECE. They need you. Go, denounce you’re citizenship, please.

They forgot to list the times obanannas old lady came to florida fundraising. I remember she came to palm beach a few months ago.
July 16th, 2012 at 5:51 pm

Chester….So you will be voting for a Communist, eh?
July 16th, 2012 at 6:49 pm
Romney will save us all from that Muslim socialist. With his record of out sourcing American jobs to foreign countries and hiding his money in the Cayman Islands you know Romney has to be better than Obama. And Romney’s tax returns? Who needs to know about his tax returns. What is Romney’s opinion on ANYTHING? Which way is the wind blowing? As always in Amerika, which candidate is the lessor of two evils? Lets trade one jerk for another and may the best jerk win!!!
