Ohio Gov. John Kasich, a Republican who campaigned as a budget hawk and rode the Tea Party wave to victory in 2010, has agreed to accept Obamacare funding to expand his state’s Medicaid program, breaking ranks with fellow Republican governors and the Tea Party that elected him.

Kasich’s decision, announced yesterday, could encourage other Republican governors to do the same, joining the five who have done so already.

------------------------------

In addition, Kasich has given credibility to the arbitrary way in which the executive has implemented Obamcare, granting waivers to favored unions and corporate clients. The Huffington Post’s Jeffery Young notes that the terms of the deal Kasich is negotiating with the White House have yet to be finalized, but that it will likely include a relaxation of the requirement announced in December that states must expand Medicaid eligibility to those earning up to 133% of the poverty level to receive the full amount of federal aid.

Perhaps the best symbol of Kasich’s new approach to federal government spending and arbitrary rule-making was his effusive praise for White House adviser--and consummate left-wing Chicago insider--Valerie Jarrett: “I want to thank Valerie Jarrett today for being willing to work with us.” Next, Kasich will try to bring Republican state legislators aboard.

Klein calls Kasich’s about-face “political cowardice.” But the left is celebrating. Democrat strategist Ed Kilgore crowed that Kasich’s move “will make the arguments of nay-sayers harder,” adding that he had given up his “political stock in trade” of fiscal conservatism,

What supporters of Obamacare--and Gov. Kasich--still fail to reckon with is the strain Obamacare puts on the federal budget. That is, once again, someone else’s problem.

This dude is a professional stooge and a loser. His union referendum was half assed at best it was so poorly set up. Now we can see that Kasich is no Tea Party guy or even a mild fiscal hawk. He is no better that Christie Creme in NJ or Lincoln Chafee in RI. He will lose big for reelection because he just officially said FU to the base that got him his job in the first place.
