The Dayton Daily News is reporting that “Wall Street Johnny’’ and “Trade Czar Portman’’ are new nicknames that are floating around. Awesome!
Kasich (AKA "Wall Street Johnny") helped contribute to the looting of the retirement funds for state employees by making the contacts to set up the cash haul for Lehman Brothers. The funds lost millions of dollars with Lehman. With friends like Kasich, who needs enemies? I wonder how all those state employees feel every time they look at their retirement funds? Why do Republicans always feel the need to mess with people's money? How can we forget how Bob Taft allowed Tom Noe to "invest" money from the Ohio Bureau of Workers' Compensation? The state lost millions when the investment money was put into coins, paintings, beanie babies, a Christmas card signed by Mrs. Jackie Onassis, and other "commodities" chosen by Noe.
Portman (AKA "Trade Czar Portman") appears to be very proud of his association with the last Bush administration. Portman and Bush helped move American jobs and manufacturing out of our country. All you have to do is try to find clothing, toys, and household items actually made in the USA. We can blame Portman and Bush for that.

* Did you ever wonder how all of Republican Jon Husted's mail is forwarded to his Upper Arlington home? He must have a nice arrangement with the post office because he has had his mail forwarded for years from his Kettering ghost house to his living quarters in Upper Arlington. I thought that the U.S. Post Office would only forward a person's mail for six months. How has he been getting his mail forwarded for years and years?
