Aug. 13 (Bloomberg) --Arnold Schwarzenegger, the actor who is running for governor of California, said billionaire investor Warren Buffett will be the financial and economic adviser to his political campaign, the campaign said in a statement.
Buffett, the world's second-richest man, has built a fortune buy buying companies through his company, Berkshire Hathaway Inc. Debbie Bosanek, Buffett's assistant, didn't immediately return a phone call seeking comment.

This does not seem to me to be a good thing. I am highly suspicious of Warren Buffet.
To: NativeNewYorker
Sheesh. This gets worse daily.
Buffett is a frickin' socialist.
To: NativeNewYorker
I can smell the Democrat response already: "See, he's got some RICH guy to help him put the screws to the poor and middle-class, and especially all you immigrants!"
To: NativeNewYorker
No big deal. Just a ploy for Arnold to be taken seriously by people.

Interestingly, Buffett's father, Howard Buffett, was a very conservative congressman from Nebraska, sort of the Ron Paul of the 1950s. Warren, however, tends to depict his father as a poor fool who was mislead by the rightwingers.
As to Arnold, some of us warned that the first thing that Arnold would do on becoming governor would be to raise taxes. If this move doesn't nail the validity of that prediction, nothing will.

This does not seem to me to be a good thing. I am highly suspicious of Warren Buffet.A lover of the communist graduated income tax. And other despicable things. A creep of the first degree in my mind.

This does not seem to me to be a good thing. I am highly suspicious of Warren Buffet. Could be a Wall Street rumor(note the lack of a web link), and I agree with you, if true.
