Kasich and More Job Losses

*** Gov. John Kasich's long and winding state of the state speech is getting more scrutiny today.  HuffPost has details about some of the lows of the speech as well as Kasich's imitation of someone with Parkinson's disease.  Those of us who have loved ones with Parkinson's are not at all impressed by Kasich's talk about the disease.  To be fair, Kasich should have prepared his speech and therefore, he would have gotten his facts straight.  Instead, he looks like a complete jerk, as usual.
