Because of efforts by the President, House Republicans and John Boehner have caved and just passed the payroll tax cuts. Thank you, President Obama for standing with all Americans and against the Republicans.
>>>> Is Ohio's Lt. Gov. Mary Taylor in the hot seat????
10TV:
Gov. Kasich said Thursday that he wants Lieutenant Governor Mary Taylor to repay the state for use of a plane and a state lawmaker calls for an investigation, but Taylor said she already paid the state back in full.
State Representative Matt Lundy (D) of Elyria called on the state auditor to get to the bottom of four flights taken by Taylor, 10 Investigates' Paul Aker reported.
The Columbus Dispatch first reported Taylor flew in the state King Air aircraft to her hometown near the Akron-Canton airport. Taylor reimbursed the state more than $1,000 for the flights.....
Kasich managed to keep Taylor out of his way, but now is he trying to get her out of office?
**** I cannot even stand to hear Newt Gingrich's voice. Ewwwwwwww. His pomposity is nauseating. Did you know that a caller into Limbaugh's show asked about having a "homewrecker in the White House" if Newt was the nominee? (see DailyKos) Just remember folks, Gingrich wrecked his marriages too.
Mitt Romney has changed his mind more times than anyone I know. He has been for and against nearly every issue. The way he treated his dog is also very troubling (see SNOPES).
> What has political analyst Charlie Cook done to his hair? (He is on MSNBC right now.) Is that a comb over, new hair color, or a hair piece??? It is frightening!

Why does Portman hate the environment??? Steve Stivers is in the same ballpark as Portman. Republican Rep. Steve Stivers (OH-15) has a horrible environmental record. Stivers voted 29 times against the goals of EnvironmentAmerica.
