Arnold is NOT the Answer

I can't imagine what it looks like to the rest of the nation and the world but having Arnold Schwarzenegger for a Governor really hasn't been that bad.

He's made some changes that I agree with, he's gotten the Indian Casinos to start kicking down some of their massive profits back to the state, he's taking away cigarettes in California prisons, a move that saves money on several fronts. And he's been able to use his star power to generate lots of buzz.

He's also demonstrated just how incredibly ham handed he is by insulting legislators.

And now there is an official movement afoot to amend the US Constitution to allow naturalized citizens to run for president. Why not just call it the Arnie rule? Its the only reason they want to change it and this could very well come back to bite them in the ass very, very badly.

I wouldn't vote for Arnold, I didn't vote for Arnold and I don't think anyone else should vote for Arnold. The guy's a neophyte politician. Do we really want to risk The Presindator calling the Prime Minister of the UK a girlie-man?

Arnold for President is a bad idea. I wish people would consider what they're fighting for instead of just taking up a cause because they think it'll get them some airtime. By the way, the two guys they interviewed with this new website were about the worst interviews of all time, as wooden as stick figures and uncomfortable looking in their new suits and lame cause.
