Gov. John Kasich hasn鈥檛 made many public appearances since leaving the Republican race for president in May. He was at a ribbon cutting for an expansion of the food company Nestle in suburban Columbus, and he covered a lot of ground.
Kasich first reminisced about an old Nestle jingle, and noted there are 3400 Nestle workers in Ohio. And then he was off...criticizing public education: 鈥淚 don鈥檛 think that we鈥檙e doing a very good job in preparing our kids for the future.鈥� He then appealed for an anti-drug message for kids, touted his administration鈥檚 streamlining of business regulations, and called for working together to solve problems 鈥� all things he talked about in his presidential campaign. 鈥淚鈥檓 sorry to cover so many subjects, but these kind of burn inside of me because they鈥檙e so important.鈥�
But Kasich didn鈥檛 speak to reporters, telling the Nestle audience he had to leave and get on the road.
