Did Obama offer Strickland a job?
Posted by Joe Hallett, senior editor on December 7, 2010
In a gaggle with reporters today, Gov. Ted Strickland was asked if he had discussed a job for himself when he met with President Barack Obama for about 20 minutes Dec. 2 at the White House. Strickland hinted that the subject had been broached.

That's an interesting possibility indeed. I like Strickland, and I think his kind of more blue-collar, Midwestern Democratic views have been put on the back burner at the White House. I wouldn't mind seeing him go there at all (though there would be a chance he would be marginalized there fairly quickly, like many others who might have brought such views to the administration, including Hillary Clinton, whose profile has been very low for a while now).
We just passed the midterm elections. This is the time when many Cabinet secretaries (regardless of how the president's party did in the midterms) start looking for the exits. The jobs are brutal, underpaid, and often thankless, though they can be builders of prestige and careers. I don't know if Obama would consider Strickland for a Cabinet appointment and I don't know what Cabinet positions may come open in the next three months or so. Nevertheless, if something of that order materialized, I'd wish Strickland all the best in D.C.

I would think that Gov. Strickland, AG Cordray, and others would all be good options for Federal service. Gov. spend years doing a great job in Congress for Southern Ohio and AG is a remarkable attorney and advocate who will be missed every day if he goes. His record with US Supreme Court is good and he shown a strong ability to tackle major corporate issues.

If Strickland gets an appointment/position in DC with the Obama administration, the only real work he's going to be asked to do is shake the money tree in Ohio when the 2012 re-election campaign gets underway. Obama knows this. Strickland knows this.

Highlighting his efforts to promote advanced energy, education and other priorities, Gov. Ted Strickland gave his final public speech yesterday before leaving office and said he helped lay the foundation for growth.
"There is much that we must leave unfinished," Strickland said during a 30-minute speech to the Columbus Metropolitan Club at the Athletic Club. "But I know this: The foundation of Ohio is stronger now than the day I took office."

But Strickland's frustration was evident as the discussion progressed. Talking, unprompted, about the debate over the expiring Bush tax cuts, Strickland said he was dumbfounded at the party's inability to sell the idea that the rates for the wealthy should be allowed to expire.
"I mean, if we can't win that argument we might as well just fold up," he said.

Strickland says he hasn't yet decided what he'll do after leaving office
Posted by Mark Niquette, Statehouse reporter on December 15, 2010
There's a big picture of outgoing Democratic Gov. Ted Strickland at the top of a Politico story today talking about plans by President Barack Obama to remake his staff next year following stinging mid-term defeats for Democrats this fall.
But responding to the mounting speculation that he'll take a job in the Obama administration after he leaves office Jan. 9, Strickland insisted today that he has not decided what he'll do next.

Strickland troubled by next leaders
Tuesday, December 21, 2010
BY MARK NIQUETTE AND JOE HALLETT
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Three weeks before leaving office, Gov. Ted Strickland lit into Gov.-elect John Kasich and Thomas P. Charles, the state's next Public Safety director, accusing Kasich of lacking compassion and Charles of abusing his power.
If he had been re-elected, Strickland said, he would not have reappointed Charles as state inspector general or to any other job.

Strickland's legacy clouded by economy
SUNDAY, DECEMBER 26, 2010
BY JOE HALLETT AND MARK NIQUETTE
THE COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Democrat Ted Strickland governed in the worst of times - a major reason he will not govern Ohio in 2011.
Strickland had the misfortune of being governor during the most severe economic downturn since the Great Depression, automatically limiting what he could accomplish and encumbering his four-year legacy as Ohio's 68th chief executive.
