Arnold: I'll take govs' money

Andy Barr

AP – Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger smiles for photographers after signing the state budget as members of the …

Fresh off a grueling budget battle in his state, California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said Saturday that if fellow Republican governors threatening to turn down stimulus funds follow through on their pledge, he'd be happy to have their share.

"Everyone has their own way of thinking," Schwarzenegger said of those governors in an interview with POLITICO at the National Governors Association's annual meeting. "I just hope they give me their funding."

Schwarzenegger supports President Barack Obama's $778 billion stimulus, but four Republican governors have said they may reject some of the stimulus funds.

The governor said he was "feeling good" after several late night sessions with California lawmakers trying to pass the budget. "I think everyone had to stay up late a little bit, but we were able to make it work," he said.

Yeah, anything to feed, educate and medicate the illegal Mexicans in Taxifornia. Gee Arnold, that is only about $12-$15 BILLION per year -— I wonder why the state is $40 BILLION in the hole??? But you sure did not mention cutting illegals to help out the Taxifornia TAXPAYER did you, you RINO SOB-POS.

He has not heard what strings are attached and he will take the money? And he puts down his own party governors?

It’s Official, he is a traitor and scumball. Plus a idiot who should have never been placed in this position other than in a movie studio.

Careful there ahhnnold, you won’t get elected again with this mistake if the strings control Kaleeefornia federally. Or if in two years the welfare roles are so large we go bankrupt and the mooches point fingers to the devastator.

I voted for the guy, and he has done everything in his power to insult me for having done so.

I don’t know of one single groupie here though.

I changed my opinion of him years ago. Did not really support him but thought he was better than the alternative. He is not a conservative and I do not think he has ever been one. Just another tax and spend liberal. Just my $.02 from AL.

I now know Arnie is a joke for sure. He failed to eliminate the California Conservation Corps. A State program that costs
$70,000 per Corpsmember and does a terrible job with no results. Unbelievable.
