Barack Obama will be in Orlando and nearby Lake Mary on Tuesday, pushing his so-called Jobs Bill and raising money for his reelection.
He starts at the Downtown Sheraton, then moves on to the Heathrow/Lake Mary home of Morgan & Morgan partner John Morgan
Don't have a scheule yet, but FReepmail me if you are up for a little sign waving.
BTW, spread the word. John Morgan, who loves to claim he is a lawyer "For The People," is hosting Obama. Tell anyone you know who is considering using his firm. They might want to know that he is that close to Obama.
So he gets all his campaign fundraising travel paid for from this jobs bill...
He makes a “jobs bill speech” in afternoon and then goes to fundraiser dinner or 2 in evening...:(
Thank your Ranger for his service for me. Oooo Ah!
OK seriously, I;ve never heard of these clowns..fill us in.
Will do!
He won’t be there long if he has to be in Orlando, Fl. by 3PM.
An Army Ranger. He’s “The Man!”
Wow, what a shock. The lowest of the low bottom feeding, slip and fall, trial attorneys is a Dem, Obamabot.
Yep,
About 3 days ago I got a T.F.R. stating the area above Orlando would be closed above Orlando and the “magic negro” would be there on Tuesday.
Bet he also screws up traffic on theground then too.
I think this is Charlie Crist’s firm, isn’t it?
See Charlie all the time in their ads and see him frequently around town (St. Pete)
Yes, he’s (John Morgan) had several DUI’s. I seem to recall a domestic abuse incident a few years ago.
Nice guy, all around (vomit).
Morgan ends one of his comercials with saying “Morgan & Morgan for the people, not the powerful”. My A$$, this lawfirm is just another liberal charade.
ugh...and this guy went to UF and claims he is a Gator...yuck.
Would that Morgan & Morgan lawyer be Charlie Crist?
:) I’ll tell him you said that! Toughest man I know!
“Morgan & Morgan: For my wallet!”
Perfect. After he loses in 2012, he can say, "I'm going back to Disneyland!"
Obama's Plan "A," Plan "B," and Plan "C," all appear to be taken from Charley Manson's "Helter Skelter."
See you all down there in a couple of hours!
Here’s what I just sent out to my email lists:

Its the rule. Every Democrat politician, before losing the next election, has to show up at John Morgans house. Remember one year ago? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RFYDMkGYjR8&feature=fvsr
Heres your invitation to the Obama fundraiser at John Morgans house
October, 11 2011
http://blogs.orlandosentinel.com/news_politics/2011/10/heres-your-invitation-to-the-obama-fundraiser-at-john-morgans-house.html
Theres a literally all-star host committee NBA star Grant Hill and wife Tamia; ex-NBA great and Orlando Magic assistant coach Patrick Ewing and Magic GM Otis Smith; Boston Celtics (and ex-Magic) Coach Doc Rivers and wife Kristin; former MLB All-Star Ken Griffey Jr. and wife Melissa along with former Democratic Party chair Bob Poe; Morgan & Morgan attorney Greg Francis and wife Keisha; and the uber-host/fundraiser/lawyer/entrepreneur John Morgan, whose Lake Mary home is the scene of the gathering.
But if you go, bring a checkbook. Minimum ticket is $1,500. For $10,000 per couple, you can go to a photo reception, meaning you get your photo taken with Obama. And big donors max is 38,500 get up close and personal with the prez.

October 11, 2011 Crist’s Wife [Beard] Becomes a Democrat

Crist called his wife “independent minded and very bright” and said she feels more comfortable in the Democratic Party but said he intends to remain without a party. He left the Republicans last year during his unsuccessful run for the U.S. Senate.

9/6/2000 For the people? By Jeffrey C. Billman

“You’re in the business of people,” the man says. “People think — you happen to practice law, but you’re in the business of people.”
Morgan smiles. “Sometimes,” he replies.
....Morgan spends $6 million a year on advertising, certainly more than any firm in Florida and possibly, he says, more than any firm in the country. Perhaps that’s why last year Morgan was voted among the top five “people we love to hate” in an Orlando Sentinelsurvey
..His advertising has worked so well, Morgan’s taken his show on the road. He now travels throughout the country, conducting a seminar called “Creating a Multi-Million Dollar Law Firm.” “Once I’ve got these people connected to my network,” he says, “I can control mass torts in America.” ......
In the last 18 months, Morgan personally has contributed more than $20,000 to various national campaigns, mostly Democratic. ... Over the years he’s made friends in high places, including [DemcRATS] House Minority Leader Richard Gephardt. In 1996, Morgan sat on Bill Clinton’s campaign-finance committee. ................
“Somebody once asked me,” he says, “Why don’t you run for office?’ He said, Why, do you have skeletons in your closet?’ I said, Shit, I don’t have skeletons, I have live bodies in my closet.’ I would never want to have the scrutiny that you have to undergo to run for office.”
Besides, he adds, the money isn’t right.
“To me,” he says, “public service is commendable. Most of the time, it’s really kind of the guys who are the last choice — but they’re willing to do it.”
On politics, Morgan can be blunt. He dismisses Rep. Bill McCollum, for instance, as a “public disgrace.” He financially supports Democrats because the “[Republican] leadership,” he says, “Tom DeLay and Dick Armey, are just two mean sons of bitches — all they care about is making the rich richer.” [Hypocrisy on parade ~ Jance]

Flashback:
12/18/1997
Attorney’s arrest has battery included
Until his arrest last week in Casselberry for battery on a police officer, 1997 had been a very good year for Orlando attorney John B. Morgan. His personal-injury firm, Morgan, Colling and Gilbert, was riding high after a record-breaking $850,000 medical malpractice award in 1996 .....
But at about 3 a.m. on Wednesday, Dec. 10, Morgan and his red Cadillac were pulled over on S.R. 436 after pulling out of a Dennys parking lot. Police say he swerved across lanes without signaling and stopped abruptly in the intersection with S.R. 17/92, after having traveled five feet past the white line marking a safe-stopping location. After the light changed, Morgan drove on, nearly clipping the curb, before using all three lanes to negotiate a curve, according to reports by Casselberry police.
He was pulled over at Brewer Street and, after reportedly failing field sobriety tests, cited for driving under the influence. Still, Morgan might have avoided serious trouble. He had done so before after being arrested for DUI.
But, according to the arresting officer, Morgan became enraged upon arriving at the Seminole County Jail, called the officer a “fat fucker” and “baldy,” twice headbutted him, and hit him in the face with his left hand.
So, in addition to charges of DUI, failure to provide insurance and two other minor traffic offenses, Morgan was charged with battery on a police officer, a third-degree felony calling for up to five years in prison. He was released after posting a $2,000 bond. On Dec. 30, Morgan is scheduled to appear at the Seminole County Courthouse on the traffic charges. On Jan.13, Morgans attorney, Stuart Hyman, will try to convince a hearing officer not to suspend Morgan’s drivers license. And on Jan. 29, Morgan is scheduled for arraignment in Circuit Court in Sanford on the felony charge. Hyman, who did not respond to a request for an interview, has filed a not-guilty plea in the felony case.
In 1993, Hyman filed more than 10 motions contesting Morgans arrest for DUI after a minor two-car accident in Altamonte Springs. Morgan said he was “distracted by his car phone,” according to the report. But after failing field tests, he registered 0.134 on the Breathalyzer. Twice, Hyman was granted continuances to prepare for trial. Then on Sept. 10, 1993, Morgan accepted a plea bargain reducing his charge to reckless driving. He paid a f $500 fine and agreed to serve 100 hours of community service or pay another $1,000.
Perhaps more importantly, Morgan that time had escaped the public embarrassment of being convicted of DUI. After all, he is the firms media presence, beckoning clients with personal injuries — including those inflicted by drunk drivers — to trust his firm. This time, such a clean escape may be more difficult.

Yes, hes (John Morgan) had several DUIs. I seem to recall a domestic abuse incident a few years ago. Nice guy, all around (vomit).
My sister used to work at Morgan & Morgan in FLA as a paralegal for a short time. She told me stories about what a drunk and dirtbag John Morgan is.
