Which candidate will work for YOU?

Since Republican candidate, John Kasich, most recently spent time on Wall Street with Lehman Brothers, you wonder how voters feel about him.

BusinessWeek.com:

Most people interviewed in the Bloomberg National Poll say they don’t like Wall Street, banks or insurance companies and favor letting the government punish bankers who helped cause the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression.....

....As the country struggles with a 9.7 percent unemployment rate while financial stocks surge, 57 percent of Americans have a mostly unfavorable or very unfavorable view of Wall Street, versus fewer than one-quarter who have a favorable opinion. Banks are viewed badly by 54 percent of poll respondents, and 60 percent have a negative opinion of insurance companies....


What does it mean when Ohio Republicans have candidates that include a former investment banker from bankrupt Lehman Brothers (Kasich) and a former bank lobbyist (Stivers)?


***** Lazy Republican U.S. Senators are trying hard not to work past 2pm, according to an article at Huffington Post:

Senate Republicans fuming over the passage of health care reform are now refusing to work past 2 p.m. -- a tactic they can employ by invoking a little-known Senate rule.

On Wednesday, the Judiciary Committee was forced to cancel a hearing as was the Senate Armed Services Committee.

Sen. Claire McCaskill (D-Mo.)tweeted today : "Disappointed. Rs refusing to allow hearings today. Had to cancel my oversight hearing on police training contracts in Afghanistan."

Shame on the Republicans. We have two wars going on with thousands of our men and women in uniform, high unemployment, and all the Republicans can do is whine and do nothing?
