* The Facebook page called "John Kasich Treated Me Like Crap," is very informative. Read a few entries and you'll arrive at the same conclusion that I did: Kasich is a pompous jerk.
Here is excerpt from "John Kasich Treated Me Like Crap" Facebook page:
I was a young 20-something working at the check-in desk at America West, making $6.75 an hour. Mr. Kasich arrived for a flight, and sent his aide to check in for him. I informed the aide that Mr. Kasich would have to come to the desk in person and show his ID in order to check in for his flight. Aide left, consulted with Mr. Kasich, and returned to try again. I once more informed the aide that Mr. Kasich would need to come to the desk and show his ID in order to get his boarding pass. At this point, the aide asked me if I could check with my superior to see if he could “override my authority,” and check Mr. Kasich in for his flight. I went back to explain the situation to my boss, and he said, “If it’s Jesus Christ himself, he is going to have to come to the desk to show ID in order to check in for his flight.”
That is the problem with Kasich and rich people like him----- they think they are more important than anyone else.

*** Thank you, Rep. Anthony Weiner for standing up to the Republican obstructionists. I appreciate the fact that you bravely stood up and told the Party of "NO!" that we are tired of their games and delays. Thank you, Rep. Weiner, for your courage.
* Speaking of Republicans and their friends--
Don't you think that the right wing group Americans for Prosperity should change their name to..... Americans for Prosperity for the Rich? It seems that many of their proposals would only benefit the wealthy, not middle class people.
* Istockanalyst has the truth about the stimulus:
.....Portman has taken to charging that the state has lost 150,000 jobs since passage of the federal stimulus package. What Mark Zandi, the chief economist at Moody's Analytics, and Alan Blinder, a Princeton economist and a former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board, explain in a new report is that the stimulus and other steps, including the bank bailouts, prevented a deeper recession. They argue that without these rescue measures, the country would have lost an additional 8.5 million jobs.
Follow the Portman logic, and you are invited to think the stimulus was a mistake. Not so, starting with the teachers and police officers kept on the job. Of course, without the stimulus, Portman and Kasich could cite a larger number of Ohio jobs lost. That's what these ads are all about -- winning.
Let me repeat---- "...the stimulus and other steps, including the bank bailouts, prevented a deeper recession...."
