Click here for a recent interview with Ohio Governor Ted Strickland.

While I have a lot of respect for Gov. Strickland, I can only say "For Pete's Sake!" Instead of lamenting the economy, looking for federal help, and cutting state jobs (not that I am entirely against that), get out there and focus on working with businesses and bringing jobs to Ohio! As I said before, Strickland has been absolutely impotent in terms of trying to stave off the unemployment crisis in our state. His answers and reactions in this interview show exactly why. He wants to complain and put his hand out instead of getting out there and making something happen. I'm sorry but we do not need this kind of "leadership" in Ohio ... not now ... not ever.

Off my soapbox now (for awhile at least).
