"Gladiator School" ^ | Friday, August 13, 2010 | Queenie Wong

State employees fared better in the economic crisis than those in the private sector, Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger told an audience at the California Hispanic Chambers of Commerce today.

"They say when we do furloughs that it's unfair because it will be an enormous pain on state employees," said Schwarzenegger. "They're not in touch with reality."

Pointing to a chart comparing job losses in the private sector versus the public sector, Schwarzenegger said that the economic crisis has had "no effect" on state employees. He noted that the straight yellow line representing job losses in the public sector showed no decline...

The Governor had a mandate to get spending under control. The was put into office after the previous Governor was run out of town. The people would have supported him. What happened? He folded like a cheap lawn chair.

The only thing I can figure out is he is not comfortable with who he is. He needs his hollywood friends and his liberal friends to like him. If he was to take any of the drastic steps needed to get California’s fianaces under control then he would be left with out his “friends”

A man makes those kind of choices. A girly man just blusters.

I am certain that no other candidate has so thoroughly humiliated me for having given them a chance.

I wanted Rambo. I got Shirley Temple in drag.

Arnold, sew that yap of your shut for the duration. That would be the best gift you have given this state.

Um....as much as I can't stand Ahnold and the wife he rode in with, it would be well if the pertinent sentence is re-read. He did not say employees are "out of touch with reality"....he said "they" are saying that.....whoever "they" are.

Just someone who still cares about nouns, adverbs, subjects and predicates and all that stuff.

He dug the hole he's living in.

Everybody here must remember that he didn't campaign for a single Republican office holder during the last election cycle. So elected Republicans owe him nothing and have been indifferent to him since that point. There have been no professional trust and idea work-outs. A failed leader always goes liberal/socialist for the underclass.
