Way to go, Arnold!
Mr. Schwarzenegger encouraged the youngsters to keep up the good work.
If they do, he promised: "I'll be back."

Before his visit Tuesday with children at a Dallas school, Mr. Schwarzenegger took issue with the study, which cast doubt on the value of after-school programs to help youngsters academically and said they may even encourage bad behavior. "I really don't know what their study's based on," said Mr. Schwarzenegger, who has become a national advocate for after-school programs and helped pass a $550 million initiative for such programs in California.
Isn't anyone else besides me bothered by the fact that this program Arnold championed sounds more like the democrats' work? I mean, no one hates Gray Davis more than I do, but Arnold doesn't seem to be the Republican answer. I think he's spent too much time with the Kennedys.

He wasn't born or raised in this country. He's seen firsthand the evils that can be brought about by "federal government". Plus, he is a very intelligent man, from all I've read. I think he's going to go far in the political arena.

""I have read about 20 different studies that indicate that kids that participate in after-school programs will improve their grades,...""Studies," no doubt, intended to bolster the self-esteem of those who feel they have to dump their kids off with strangers while they pursue "fulfillment" and "professional advancement" - not to mention plain old money.
As opposed to being a parent, that is.
