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."

Freaking 'A' - why on earth would ANYONE assume we couldn't find a qualified President under the current constitutional standards?

But, but, but... it's just not fair to exclude all those good immigrants from the American dream, that you can be anything if you work hard...

At least, that is the argument I remember hearing most often.

I bet he ends up in Obama’s administration after 2010.

Schwarzenegger may just be the biggest POS in government today, and that takes some doing.

Before BoB, I figured he’d end up at Clinton’s Global Initiative.

Now, I wonder if he’ll be playing off his “leadership” role in Climate Change.

Maybe the UN... or maybe his own “Institute.” Who knows. Arnie thinks big and he’s an international guy, ya know?

Thanks. I always wondered if it was playing elsewhere.

You should never apologize for such honest and forthright reactions.

What does being a foreigner have to do with arnold being just another typical politician?

He was raised to be a communist!

Or Meghan Mccain. After all, didn’t she say that Obama is the “hippest”?
