In case you're wondering, there is NO drought here. We've had above average precipitation for 2years in a row...with this last years being OVER DOUBLE the average.

RINO Schwareneggar could have told the Washington envios where to get off, but he didn’t. He could have called the California guard to protect the dam. Would Obama call him on it?
