U.S. Governor

The Resume

    (May 13, 1952- )
    Born in McKees Rocks, Pennsylvania
    Republican Governor of Ohio (took office January 20, 2011)
    Represented Ohio's 12th Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives (January 3, 1983-January 3, 2001)
    Hosted 'From the Heartland' on Fox News Channel

Why he might be annoying:

    He has resting scowlface.
    He worked for Lehman Brothers, pulling in $1.4 million in salary & bonuses the year it filed for Chapter 11 protection.
    He was the 16th Republican to declare his candidacy for the 2016 presidential election.
    Conservatives pounced on him for using provisions of the Affordable Care Act to expand Ohio's Medicaid enrollment.
    He 'enjoyed' low approval ratings during his first term as governor, partially due to economic policies frowned up by Ohio's sizable blue collar population.
    His first run for President (for the 2000 election) collapsed before getting off the ground.

Why he might not be annoying:

    He graduated The Ohio State University.
    Despite a stretch of dismal first term approval ratings, he won his gubernatorial re-election bid in a landslide.
    He played a significant role in helping balance the budget during his time as Chairman of the House Budget Committee.
    He was praised for his efforts to reduce Ohio's incarceration recidivism.
    He's a bestselling author.
    In the field of 2016 GOP candidates, many pundits felt he was the most moderate and, on paper, the best choice to win his party's nomination.
