First Lady Michelle Obama Making Appearance at Tri-C Monday

The First Lady is giving a "Get Out the Vote" speech at Cuyahoga Community College.

 

Free tickets to see First Lady Michelle Obama's speech at the Metropolitan Campus of Cuyahoga Community College Monday have already been distributed, but those interested can still see her "Get Out the Vote" speech.

The tickets were given out on a first-come, first-serve basis Friday and Saturday, The Plain Dealer reports. But, according to the Tri-C website, those who would like to watch Mrs. Obama's campaign rally speech may go to the Metro Auditorium for a live feed of the event. Doors will open at 4 p.m. 

For those who do have tickets, the gymnasium doors will open at 3 p.m. 

"With early voting already underway in Ohio, the First Lady will speak about what's at stake in this election for Ohioans and ask them to help organize their communities and get out the vote between now and election day," said a campaign press release.

Before coming to Tri-C Monday, Mrs. Obama is making a similar speech at Ohio Wesleyan University in Delaware, OH, according to The Plain Dealer

Tweeting about the event? @TriCedu is using the hashtag #TriCFirstLady.

I do not know any one that cares about what Michelle obama has to say. She has said enough in her statements that she hates America. I did over hear some grade school students talking. They were saying they would be glad when she was gone because then their school could serve some good meals

Her past hateful statements in regard to this great country as well as the lack of knowledge both she and the so called President displayed saluting our flag by holding their left hand covering the right side of the breast pretty much indicates what their feelings are about this wonderful country. We can do so much better by voting such an individual out of office.

Bob Dyer: Romney pays own freight in the Falls By Bob Dyer
Beacon Journal columnist Published: October 13, 2012 - 09:55 PM
Interesting contrast. As I reported in August, Copley Township is still owed $10,549 for the expenses it incurred during a 2008 campaign stop by then-vice presidential hopeful Joe Biden. Copley’s fiscal officer, Janice Marshall, sent a bill to the “Obama for America” campaign but never received a penny. And Fairlawn rang up $34,146 in police overtime and other expenses this summer when President Barack Obama brought his re-election campaign to town and spent the night at the Hilton Akron/Fairlawn. Shortly thereafter, Fairlawn’s assistant finance director, Patricia Bertsch, sent a bill to the Obama campaign. She said at the time she wasn’t holding her breath. Good thing. She’d still be holding it.

Now along comes Mitt Romney, dishing out his own election patter in Cuyahoga Falls on a Tuesday night in October. Same deal? Far from it. Long before his big rally at the Falls’ Natatorium, Romney’s campaign folks contacted the city, said they’d like to stage an event there and promised to pay for any extra expenses the city would incur. Romney’s people asked the Falls to come up with an invoice, and said the invoice could be adjusted upward if unforeseen expenses cropped up. To Cuyahoga Falls Mayor Don Robart, that speaks volumes about the difference between the candidates. “I think it’s self-evident,” he said. “[It tells you] who is accountable for their deeds and who isn’t, who’s accountable for their actions and who keeps blaming everybody else.” Of course, Robart, a conservative Republican, has virtually nothing nice to say about the president and limitless good things to say about the Romney-Ryan ticket. Still, regardless of which party you favor, as a taxpayer you have to prefer Romney’s approach to campaign expenses, especially if you live in a small city or town. The final cost of Tuesday’s rally in the Falls was $7,050, most of it for overtime and facility rental. That’s $7,050 that Cuyahoga Falls’ 49,473 residents won’t have to pay.

The city of Akron, run by a moderate Democrat mayor, said in August it had no intention of billing Obama’s campaign for his 25-minute speech at the John S. Knight Center. The city decided to eat $21,304 in expenses in exchange for what it called the privilege of hosting a sitting president. There’s an undeniable thrill in getting an up-close look at the most powerful person on the planet. But perhaps we ought to differentiate between someone acting in a presidential capacity and someone trolling for votes. The biggest downside of the Romney visit — aside from ugly traffic jams — was that the Natatorium was shut down for the entire day, depriving 10,000 dues-paying members of a day of prepaid exercise. However, the city announced in advance that it would extend everyone’s membership by one day. The Nat employs only a handful of full-time people, and they were paid their usual salaries because they had functions to perform and spent the day working.

Losing out were the many part-time employees, none of whom worked or got paid. Robart was still glowing several days after the Romney visit. “It was just electric,” he said. Although Robart initially supported Rick Santorum, and would have preferred Newt Gingrich had Gingrich not been saddled with “so much baggage going in,” Robart’s affection for Romney has heated up considerably. “I wasn’t on his bandwagon in the primary because I thought he was a little too liberal for me. I was misguided. All of his actions since then spell out a real honorable, honest man.”

Romney’s choice of hotels was interesting. Even though the Sheraton Suites, right around the corner from the Nat, is one of the finest hotels in the region, Romney bedded down at the Fairfield Inn across from the Regal Interstate Park Cinema 18, near South Arlington Road in Green. Robart attributed that decision to the Fairfield’s connection to the Marriott chain, founded by J. Willard Marriott — who, like Romney, was a Mormon. Romney served two terms on the Marriott board. As the GOP hopeful was heading out to his campaign bus Wednesday morning (carrying his own luggage), he came over to Robart and spent more than 15 minutes chatting with the mayor and a small group of Cuyahoga Falls officials that included the police and fire chiefs. “He was very, very gracious,” Robart said. “He couldn’t have been more charismatic. ...“You always think of politicians as being phoney baloneys” — please note that Robart is saying this, not me — “but I didn’t see an ounce of that in Mitt Romney.” If nothing else, the guy pays his bills.

Please don't vote for Democrats. They are blindly following the Marxist Obama and his Marxist cretins. This is no longer the party of JFK and Truman. It has been commandeered by radical leftists and marxists. You can vote for Tyranny with the marxist president that we have, or you can choose liberty and vote Republican. Make no mistake, if you vote Democrat we will be going down a path never intended by our founders. A path of complete government invasion into our lives. The path that their motto "Forward" invokes. You don't have to become a republican to vote against their socialist agenda,. You can choose to stay Democrat or Independent. But we need you in this fight to save our country and to preserve our liberties for this and other generations. Help us send this message and follow your hearts.

Want more proof that Obama is a Marxist? Just look at his campaign slogan: Forward!

Classic code language used by these and every Marxist since Marx and Engels. Look it up in Wikipedia. You will find it. It has its own section for "Forward " Do you think that it is just an accident or coincidence that they chose Forward? Or is it because it is ingrained in every fiber of their Marxist indoctrinated bodies? Vote for Liberty Not Tyranny!! God Bless the USA!

Please don't vote for Republicans. They are blindly following fascism as they did with gw. They are no longer the party of Reagan. It has been commandeered by radical right wing tea baggars. You can vote for a Taliban-type government or you can vote for freedom (choice, womens health, gay rights, etc.) and the road to recovery by voting Democrat. Make no mistake, if nyou vote Republican we will be going down a path that we went that got us into the biggest financial mess (second only to the great depression) in our nations history. A complete invasion of our principals. The path that their motto "Believe in America" invokes, meaning believe in the wealthy only, and forget about the 47%. You don't have to become a Democrat to vote against their fascist agenda, you can choose to stay Republican or Independent. But we need you in this fight to save our country and to preserve our liberties for this and other generations. Help us send this message and follow your hearts.

Want more proof that Romney/Ryan are fascists? Just look at the Republican platform!

God Bless the USA!

So true, mentor res. All these Romney supporters are nothing more than hypocrites. Just like the Romney/Ryan ticket itself. I had a good laugh when Joe Biden said in the debate that he has a letter from Ryan asking for stimulus money "because it created jobs". You can't make this stuff up!

Obama/Biden 2012!
Hillary 2016!
