John Kasich and Lehman Brothers

Posted on 10/28/2010 6:07:53 AM PDT by reaganator

The Strickland campaign is pounding the Kasich/Lehman Brothers connection really hard. Strickland is an Obaminite who will support the socialist marxists no matter what. As they believe, Strickland also believes even more government intervention is needed. Not only has Strickland allowed the destructor-in-chief to campaign for him, he has also allowed the former President who actually committed felonies in an attempt to fix a court case against an American citizen to campaign for him also. Strickland is a obviously lying scoundrel. Since many voters affected by sound bite campaign adds I wonder how effective this theme of "Kasich ruined Ohio retirement plans and made himself wealthy working for Lehman Brothers" will be. And will someone please attempt to cut through this mess and acurately layout the story on this?

Pretty effective. I know of several people who look at Kasich as a crook because of Strickland’s commercials.

Kasich explained to me that he was one of scores of managers at Lehman Brothers and that he worked out of an office in Columbus with two employees.
That was his response to me when I personally asked him how we were to counter the attacks concerning Lehman Brothers.

Blaming Kasich for the meltdown because he worked in a management capacity for Lehman in outskirts branch is like blaming the manager of accounting for a GM factory in Ohio for the Chevy Volt

I agree the negative ads tying Kasich to Lehman are effective. Let's say that Kasich is not the perfect candidate in terms of integrity, but his election and that of the remaining GOP state office slate is crucial in moving Ohio to the red State column in future national elections. Redistricting and having a person in the Secretary of State office who will fairly enforce election laws are crucial.

Democrats are also able to encourage the people to be against any changes in how Congress has been able to spend the Social Security for decades.
What is John Kasich actually responsible for concerning Lehman Brothers?

“Kasich explained to me that he was one of scores of managers at Lehman Brothers and that he worked out of an office in Columbus with two employees.

And Kasich, a former member of the political class at the time, what was his role in Columbus? And the bonuses were for what?

Some of the ads Strickland is running are videos of Kasich saying things that aren’t very popluar right now. The ads are quite effective.

I’ll vote Kasich, because Strickland is a commie idiot. But not everyone in Ohio will do as I do.

I might have misunderstood your post, but are you saying that Kasich has integrity problems because he worked at Lehman Brothers?

You know I’m not a fan of Kasich. That said, I hope he uses his business experience to cut spending and create a positive environment for businesses in Ohio thus creating jobs.

My fear is that he is the type type of capitalist who would sell out his own countrymen at any cost.

Lehman aside, his Second Amendment record isn’t very good.

Regardless, my wife and I voted for Kasich yesterday.

no. I fail to understand your interpretation of my post as to say “because Kasich worked at Lehman Brothers he has integrity”.
Really? Is that really what I seem to be saying?

I am seeking knowledge, are you able to provide any?
What am saying in my post is ONLY what I am saying in my post not anything and everything that can be delusionally misread into it.

Strickland and the 'Rats have been playing the "Wall Street" card at every turn. He can blame Kasich and Wall Street all he wants, but Strickland has been Governor for four long, weary years. He has been "in charge", if that can be said of any Governor, of Main Street, and Main Street has been falling apart under his watch. Companies are pulling up stakes and leaving in droves, and that isn't because of Wall Street.

I know this as a personal fact. My former partner in a business we once ran together (I sold my interest in the firm to him to take another career path) is moving the operation to Texas because of the lousy business climate (read Workman's Comp) in this state. That isn't because of anyone on Wall Street, especially not a lower-level manager in Lehman Brothers working in a distant field office.

Would you please explain Kasich’s record concerning the 2nd Amendment?

Also, if Lehman is the center of all evil, why is Strickland still doing business with their successor Barclays?

And why the hell are you giving me and others such a hard time?

We voted for your boy, just because we are suspicious of him doesn’t me that we are the enemy.

This might come as a shock but I don’t vote for someone just because they have an (R) next to their name.

I’d ask voters if they would rather pick a man from an entire political party that got rich working for Fannie Mae. :)

Worth saying again.
