Priebus Says Obamacare Biggest Loser on Ohio Ballot

By Hiram Reisner

Republican National Committee Chairman Reince Priebus says by voting down the mandate element of Obamacare, Ohio residents have signaled what’s in store for President Barack Obama’s signature healthcare law. Priebus also told Fox News’ Greta Van Susteren Tuesday the defeat of a second ballot issue that would have severely limit collective bargaining by Ohio public-employee unions does not portend nationwide sentiment.

Priebus said he is sure Ohio Gov. John Kasich is “disappointed” in the results of the collective-bargaining law ballot referendum, “but you know it is a state issue.”

“You know, I’m from Wisconsin, obviously, a much different outcome. I think the bigger issue nationally, though, out of Ohio is obviously Issue 3, which really puts Obama on the ballot,” Priebus said. “His keystone piece of legislation — Obamacare — goes down in a major way. And I think that’s what’s really personalized nationally and what you can glean from Ohio, if you want to take anything out of that state tonight.”

What's Next?

Anthony is in hiding, that trial is over, the war is getting rather boring, for those of us at home, getting very tired of seeing Obama on the television, he is on more regularly than Ellen. Are the fires out in the Southwest, have not heard much recently? Any floods, tornadoes, heard briefly that some volcano is erupting, don't think the lava will make it to Newark, Ohio.

Something has to be standing in the wings, just waiting to erupt on the news scene. My guess is that most of the news persons are at their home office, just waiting for the next GREAT news story.

Some TV shows can just rehash abductions and murders forever. High heat around the country is not much of a story. I cool off by watching Ice Road Truckers or gathering Crabs in the wherever they go after them. If I get seasick from that I can watch them cut down trees in the swamp, or gather up alligators, or watch survival in the hinterlands, guys close to death, hungry, just barely surviving, while the film crews shooting them are well fed. Haven't figured that out yet.

Middle of the Summer, so we are having End of Summer Sales, and seeing Christmas in July on the one selling channel. Back to school merchandise came out at Walmart the day after school closed, and on TV, promos about the New Fall Season. One ad was for a show that "everyone" is talking about, and it has not even aired yet. I never figured that out, or Hit of the Season and no one has seen it ye

Monday Night Football is already being promoted and the last I heard they were not sure if there was going to be a season or not. Trust me, the networks WILL NOT let that happen. Players and owners have nothing to do with it, TV controls sports, so, we will see NFL football next season. All this off season bantering is just promotion for the upcoming season.

Just wondering where the next "disaster" will come from, the next "big" news story, something has to happen, somewhere. There are thousands of people who make their living off of "news," just waiting to spring on some ............. BIG EVENT...

Why?

The news is full of "the danger their correspondents are in."

WHY are they there, why not just bring them home, we don't need to see "live"a demonstrations in foreign countries. Makes sense to me, "Don't put them in harms way."

The film themselves in the middle of a riot, and wonder why they become targets.

They put too much importance in themselves and what they do.

They are probably making a million or so a year, the network is making millions on advertising, our troops put themselves in harms way, for comparatively nothing. Unfortunately, they have to be there, the networks, don't.

ODOT cafeteria ordered to show Fox News

With the change in administrations changes are happening at all state agencies. New leadership. New goals. New priorities. And, as it turns out, new TV channels as well.

We just learned that the Ohio Department of Transportation’s cafeteria, which used to show CNN during the day, has recently been ordered by ODOT’s HR department to ONLY show Fox News (Kasich’s former employer).

First thoughts: is ODOT’s Human Resources paying someone to hang around the TV to yell at you if you change the channel? Did they just post a nasty memo? Or did they just take the cheap route and tape all the buttons down?
