In too many ways, Ohio is being run for the benefit of those who have already made it, and too many of our friends and neighbors are being left behind.

I do believe that if there is some way that we can find a diplomatic way to address the atrocities in Syria, I think that we should move forward with all due speed to make sure that it is something that is credible.
