Barack Obama will visit Chattanooga on Tuesday for the first time in his presidency.

Obama will tour the city's Amazon.com distribution center to highlight what he says is an improving economy but one that needs to do more to boost the middle class.
White House officials say Tuesday's speech will focus on manufacturing, high income jobs and the economy.
But GOP leaders say Tennessee's record shows that Republicans have better ideas for economic growth.
The state's Republican Party Chairman says it makes sense that Obama would want to visit Tennessee to learn how to get things done.
He said Republicans here have cut taxes, balanced the budget, and have the lowest debt of any state in the union.
