With the emphasis a little different for a foreigner, maybe we should pay attention first to what he said FIRST: SCHWARZENEGGER: Well, I can tell you that we have to clean house in Sacramento. The most important thing is that we bring business back to California. There are more businesses leaving California now than ever before. When businesses come back, revenue comes back, when revenue comes back we can afford all kinds of different programs that are very important. We want to make sure that the children are not left with without any books. We want to make sure that our children have the books, that they have their place in the classroom. We want to make sure that they have after school programs. We want to make sure the mothers have affordable day care. We want to make sure the older folks have their care that they need. That everything has to be provided for the people. We have such a great state, there's no reason why we are in the state we are in today.

Reads a little differently, eh? The primary objective of this candidate is bringing business into the state so that business money comes with it. He didn't say to fight for more dollars from Washington (a typical lib response) or to raise taxes (ditto), he stated his solution is to make California a pro-business climate, and frankly, THAT's what is needed. Government provides the climate for businesses to prosper, and so will the state. I cannot believe some of you cannot understand that.

You still bolded "we can afford all kinds of different programs that are very important."

Hey...aside from my bolding one line, I didn't even comment in my #186. I'm content to just let Arnold's words stand for themselves.

I really hope he fools me, and turns out to be conservative. He definitely got started on the wrong foot with that press conference yesterday, though.
