Schwarzenegger asks Obama for more infrastructure money
Sac Bee ^ | 3/21/09 | Rob Hotakainen

Posted on 03/21/2009 10:49:28 AM PDT by NormsRevenge

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger went to the White House on Friday with Pennsylvania Gov. Ed Rendell and New York City Mayor Michael Bloomberg to press President Barack Obama for more federal aid for infrastructure projects.

.. Schwarzenegger said a good response would be to increase government spending on roads and bridges and other projects.

"This creates jobs," he said. "We had a terrific meeting."

...

Schwarzenegger ... Obama "says he wants to pursue the same spread-the-wealth ideas that Europe had decades ago."

.. California is "benefiting tremendously" from the economic stimulus package Obama has put together.

Obama reciprocated, calling Schwarzenegger "one of the great innovators of state government" who has turned out to be "just an outstanding partner" for his administration.

"I'm grateful for him," Obama said.

Now there is a funny line that ZeroBama should have used on Leno.

This is what happens when politicians allow their states to go down the drain financially such as California, Michigan and Illinois. When you start increasing individual and business taxes and then make it impossible for businesses to thrive and flourish in those states, you get a state that is bankrupt and will be bankrupt for a very long time.

Very true. Even worse, CA is doing nothing to reverse this trend. We are a kleptocracy ruled by SEIU. Girlie Man is little more than their hand puppet.

Wow, I voted for this a**hat during the recall, I fully confess and repent. I did not vote for him during the regular election. I did vote for Tom McClintock for Lt. Gov. in that election. I cannot stand this guy, and wish I had done due diligence on AHHHHHHHnold before I voted for him during the recall.

I usually vote for the conservative and really can't explain why I voted for this POS. It didn't take me long to see the light however, unlike some Arnold apologist.

The sooner he is out of the governors mansion the better.

The tragedy will be compounded when the CA Republican party runs this boob for Boxer’s senate seat (or Feinstein’s).

Arnold is the worst Governor our state has ever had. We got rid of Gray Davis and got stuck with this piece of crap. Went from bad to worse

Looks like the girlie man has found his ideal “fantastic partner”...a dual purpose boy-toy and sugar-daddy.

What a bleeping Idiot and total FRAUD!

All those speeches about being a conservative, about Milton Friedman as his hero and Karl Marx being wrong. True LIES.
