Tampa to host Tea Party for Obama

President Barack Obama will give a speech in Tampa on Thursday, and the Tampa Tea Party will welcome him with a counter-rally.

Obama is to speak at the University of Tampa about using stimulus money to support the $2.5 billion SunRail project, which offers a train system connecting Tampa to Orlando.

Vice President Joe Biden is also to be at the event, which begins at noon and is limited to 1,000 people.

The Tampa Tea Party and local 912 groups say they are against the SunRail plans, which they describe as "wasteful, low-value, deficit increasing, misguided and unwanted spending."

The protest runs from 10:30 a.m. to 1 p.m., although the groups encourage people to arrive by 10 a.m. because of anticipated crowds and parking issues. For more information, click here.
