Kasich connected pensions, Lehman

So the smear continues. The pension funds were spreading billions around to many different investment firms and Kaisch tried to get some invested in Lehman. So what? Let's look at the billions the Dems have flushed down the stimulus toilet. This is a pitants in comparison. More libdem journalism from the biased CD.

"libdem" - is that a word?

Intelligent readers know that this very Columbus Dispatch - who has essentially endorsed every conservative candidate for public office since the paper existed - is hardly biased - towards the "libdem" side.

Try again, "Big Buckeye Fan".

What is a "pitants"?

Shock,Kaisch had a job and he was actually working.
Dumbocrats can't relate.

Well thank God for that, Would've been more tax dollars down the drain.

It seems that when negative press comes up about the "conright" it's always a smear, Hmm.....conright

And like bush it was mostly part time.....and lost alot of money. redumblicans

I can't stop laughing! Anyone with a brain knows the Dispatch will endorse Kasich (if you have been reading the paper lately). This article could have been written much differently. How about a headline - State loses over $200 million with Lehman! The Dispatch gives the incident at the Governor's house front page space and a huge article. When are they going to demand that Kasich release his tax returns?

Real funny! I'll be voting Democrat and work hard every day. It's about greed. I believe in sharing the good fortune I have, but you don't.

Umm, didn't just about EVERY pension plan lose money during this time? Trying to blame Kasich is a real stretch.

"I didn't have anything to do with it." (they lost money); the other scenario would have been if there had been a profit as he shouted from the rooftops- "Since I worked for Fox News and they know everything when it comes to the economy I am proud that I guided these pension funds to invest with my other employer- Lehman Brothers."

He is such a predictable hypocrite.

just doing his job. why not smear all democrats with the fact that bill clinton recieved a bjob in the white house. somehow he still has cred with the lamestreet press.

I beleive The dispatch endorsed Strickland in the Gov's race. Because Mr Blackwell told them to take a hike.

So it's a problem that in 2002 he set-up meetings? In 2002 the markets were rolling along and everyone was fat, dumb and happy about it. The bigger story within this one is why didn't those overseeing these pension funds do something to stop losses during 2008? The way this is written, it appears that they were sitting on their thumbs waiting for the markets to go back up and not actually do anything to protect their investments.

What investing firm actually made money for their clients in 2008? From the headlines I cannot find one. Were all the losses strictly from Kasich trying to attract business to Lehman in 2002? Think again...

It would be interesting to see how much state money has gone to that evil company Goldman or to Chase, Wells Fargo, etc.

I am particularly interested in how much Goldman gave our Republican President Obam in contributions. Oops, thats OK since Obam got the most cash of any public official. What--you mean Obam is not a Republican!!

No "greed" there is there.

Blackwell was one of the worst candidates the Ohio GOP has ever nominated. The last democrat the dispatch endorsed for president was Woodrow Wilson, in 1916. Nearly 100 years of GOP endorsements.

Chris Dodd- Sweatheart Mortgage Deal I believe. Billions Lost By the Chris and Barnie Show
by Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac. For every dollar you want to hand on the Republicans Add 1000 time to the Democrats. Healthcare Bill+ Billions that will be lost now then Trillions in the Future. Obama and Gang!

I work hard too, but I'd prefer to share my own money, instead of having the government TAKE it away from me and distribute it as they see fit.
