Kasich eschews Teleprompter

Unlike Ohio governors before him, when Republican John Kasich delivers his State of the State address on Tuesday afternoon before a packed House chambers, he won’t use a device that scrolls his pre-written speech in front of him.

“I am definitely not using a Teleprompter. That is one thing that is guaranteed,” Kasich said.

The former FoxNews commentator and paid speaker said he won’t be using a scripted text either. And late last week, he said he still wasn’t sure what he would be saying.

“I’ve been speaking for a long time and I don’t normally have a time clock that tells me when I have to do something. I do it when I sort of feel it, feel what I want to say. It could come, literally, at the last few minutes,” Kasich said.

I heard they were going to be fined for each day they are out not doing their jobs. I think they should be fired. I wouldn’t get paid if I didn’t show up for work. Why should the tax payers pay for reps not to show up for work? Beyond that, those reps are causing loss of govt money and time, and damage to the building. Again, the tax payers will have to foot the bill for the unions acting up, and for those who are easily susceptible to the unions. I watched last night on tv a video from that one fat cat Michael Moore telling our school children to leave their classes and stand in unity with Egypt and the union rebellions! This is why we need to keep politics out of our schools. That’s why we need to get gut the Department of Education. It’s rotten to the core.

@Squirrellygirl, Whether you agree with the WI Dems or not, I’m surprised you don’t appreciate the beauty of the quorum. One of the unwritten foundations of this country is, if you can’t win, stall.

I see now, Earl. And you are right, the progressives are cry babies and bad losers, too. You never saw a group of Republicans leave the state when the Democrats had the majority. The Democrats from WI should be fired and replaced. I’m sure there has to be something to provide for when representatives don’t do their jobs. Their jobs are not unconditional, are they? Their actions are cheating the tax payers who pay their salaries and causing workers to be layed off.

@Squirrellygirl, I think I may have muffed my metaphor. I should have just stated, plain and simple, that Kasich is removing the government unions from their special status class and they are responding by acting like cry babies. Don’t EVER group me with the left…overs. Thanks.

Maybe if Strickland hadn’t turned Ohio’s surplus into a deficit with his planet Mars spending spree, Kasich wouldn’t have been voted in to have to clean it all up! Ever think about that? Don’t complain about how Kasich is mopping up the Democrats’ mess, get out of the way! Ha ha! Where have I heard that before???

Wait a minute…didn’t Obama call the police “stupid” after admitting he didn’t have the whole story? I remember now…and Obama NEVER APOLOGIZED TO THE POLICEMAN, but he threw a party—a beer fest!!! And then Obama dissed our ally Israel and then he gave our enemy China a steak dinner. And Obama lifted the moratorium on oil drilling and then allowed only 1 permit to be handed out. And how much did Obama offer in reducing our federal deficit? of which he added a trillion dollar hc fiasco bill and PREFUNDED it! Don’t blame Kasich for having to MOP UP THE MESS THE DEMOCRATS LEFT!

Well, if you don’t lie, you don’t need a teleprompter to keep track of those lies. Some people use cards (or their hands) with short notes on them so they can speak to the subjects. Some people don’t have to read letter by letter to remember which face they are speaking from today (Obama).

Sometimes the cops can be “idiots” and besides, he apologized. Clinton didn’t even admit to having sex in the white house, remember, “What does ‘is’ mean?”—and Clinton is lifted up like the next Messiah, next to Obama, of course. How’s that working out for ya? Seriously, some of you posters are psycho. You really comparing Kasuch to Hitler? Come on, taking candy from a baby? Really? Whose fault is it that things got this bad? Whose watch was it under? Strickland? Uh huh! Don’t blame Kasich for doing his job he was voted in to do. I’d like to see some of the waste under Strickland abolished, like the recycling bins with microchips in them to measure our recycling so they can levy taxes on us if daddy gov’t decides we don’t recycle enough. Kind of cute how Pelosi/Reid/Obama got that healthcare fiasco bill prefunded, jokes on all of us Americans, eh? Like Nancy said, “You gotta read the bill to find out what all’s in it!” Kasich isn’t Hitler, and Obama isn’t the Messiah. But Obama IS in bed with unions which are communist, and Obama did appoint a communist, Van Jones, who is now writing courses of study for NY schools, and he provides links to prove that the police are unfair and attack the weak, the infirm, and people who aren’t white. What would we do without Van Jones to indoctrinate our young children into socialism? Huh? Thank you, Obama! Just continue to vote in the socialists and commies! You’ll get what you deserve!

Without the teleprompter, the State of the State should be an entertaining gaffe-fest, possibly the best television ever generated within Ohio government.

Teleprompter….I don’t need a teleprompter…I need a person standing there with words on a big board. Just by saying that I already created a job! Sometimes I amaze myself! Next!

All you whining, hate mongering, nasty talking liberals are really scared aren’t you? Reality is about to set in and you’re going to find out what society really thinks you union- loving, government leach types are worth. The federal govt has a 1.65 trillion budget deficit projected for 2011 and the liberals can’t even conceed 10 billion in cuts - thats 0.01 trillion for those math challenged. Libs can’t give up 0.01 trillion out of a 1.65 trillion deficit? Liberals are going to destroy our nation. The lip service about difficult cuts and sacrifices from the Dems is a scare tactic to get those that are gov’t dependent all riled up. Same on the state level - just more of the same lip service by those who stand to loose the most - liberal dems

His “shooting from the hip” approach to public speaking resulted in the comments about the “idiot cop.” In the words of Doctor Phil, “how’s that working for you?”
