From 'scrawny' to 'beautiful' (Arnold hearts Barack)
Sacramento Bee ^ | March 19, 2009 | Kevin Yamamura

What a difference an election victory makes.

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, at an Ohio campaign rally in October for Sen. John McCain, said then-candidate Barack Obama "needs to do something about those skinny legs. We're going to make him do some squats. And then we're going to go and give him some biceps curls to beef up those scrawny little arms."

But the governor had nothing but love for President Obama on Thursday in Los Angeles, according to Politico.

"But I think he's so smart," he said. "He's so clear with his thinking and he's so well informed and has been dealing with policy in all this and is also very philosophic it's almost like. I think he's just like - I think it's beautiful."

... "The economic stimulus package that President Obama has put together, California is benefiting tremendously from that, $85 billion, $35 billion alone just in tax benefits," Schwarzenegger said in his introduction at a Los Angeles town hall meeting, according to a transcript. "And then there is the economic stimulus package which injects $51 billion into California's economy. That's right, $51 billion into California' economy -- $18.6 billion for health and human services, $9 billion for education, $72 billion for infrastructure, $5.3 billion for labor, $3.4 billion for energy and climate change, $1.2 billion for housing and the list goes on and on and on."

"I tell you, it is the greatest package," Schwarzenegger added. "I am so happy that we are getting those kinds of benefits from the federal government and from President Obama."

How does anybody trust a politician? They are the lowest scum on the totem pole. I have more respect for used car salesmen.

'arnold' is the reason we have this:

No Person except a natural born Citizen, or a Citizen of the United States, at the time of the Adoption of this Constitution, shall be eligible to the Office of President; neither shall any Person be eligible to that Office who shall not have attained to the Age of thirty five Years, and been fourteen Years a Resident within the United States.

Sorry, 'arnold'...

No problem. It was an easy question to answer. ;-)

That’s because Arnold Whathisnegger is a racist. Is there a person of color among the 15 or so actors in the current Come to Cow-lee-for-knee-ya ad they are looping during baskeball games? Nope, not a one. It’s actually laughable when you stop to consider California is the epitome of the melting pot state. But you wouldn’t know it by Austrian Arnold’s commercial.

I guess that means you have little use for the “Austrian” school of economics.

“Even the loony Democrats know he’s an imposter.”

But loony Democrats accept an imposter as their leader.

Which commercial do they play? The one with the ocean, mountains and golf courses, with Arnie and Maria sitting drinking wine, that makes it sound like you can come to California and not work? That’s the only California commercial I’ve seen (and always wondered why they play it IN California).

“I am so happy that we are getting those kinds of benefits from the federal government and from President Obama.”

(Otherwise I would have had to actually balance our state budget, which would have meant stopping illegals, cutting welfare etc.)

And we should fight all the idiots that are trying to have that language removed.

There were a lot of freepers promoting Orrin Hatch’s proposal for an Arnold Amendment. Pfft! (they’ve mostly been exposed as trolls and been banned now)

All the better to build his international resume and liberal legacy. I don't think the Austrian is going to retire to obscurity after he is termed out.

Freaking 'A' - why on earth would ANYONE assume we couldn't find a qualified President under the current constitutional standards? (Oh, yah - our current 'messiah' refused to even provide a legal copy of his birth certificate - I guess 'constitutional standards' are not what they used to be... ;>)

He’s had a taste of power. I don’t think being a Hollywood idol will satisfy the megalomaniac anymore.
