Background
Portman, a Methodist, was born in Cincinnati and graduated in 1974 from Cincinnati Country Day School. He received a bachelor of arts degree from Dartmouth College in 1979 and a Juris Doctor (J.D.) degree from the University of Michigan in 1984. Upon his graduation, he worked for the Washington law firm of Patton, Boggs, and Blow from 1984 to 1986, when he returned to Cincinnati. In Cincinnati, he worked for one of the city's major law firms, Graydon, Head, and Ritchey, until going to work for President George H. W. Bush as associate White House counsel in 1989. Portman later served as director of the Office of Legislative Affairs until 1991. He returned to Cincinnati to Graydon, Head, until his election to Congress.

Portman and his wife, Jane, are residents of Terrace Park in Hamilton County. They have three children: Jed, Will and Sally.

3. Damn wrong Portman

I saw a headline that said Portman to become new OMB boss and I thought the GOP came up with a great idea. I mean Natalie Portman is cute, seems pretty bright and was Queen in 3 movies, she'd be a much better pick than any of these losers they normally pick.
