Default Re: Arnold is in Gray on way out!

Let's suppose Arnold does win it. If he does reasonably well for California during his term, he could conceivably win the Presidency in 2008 and take up the war against terror where Bush leaves off.

Hasta la vista, bin-Laden;-)

Great idea M but Arnold was born an American citizen. Both he and Kissinger are disqualified.

He can win because he is liberal on social issues. Californians are not going to accept a social conservative in the governor's office. But I think ultimately the recall fails because people see it as just political opportunism.

oops I forgot he wasn't American born.

Eastwood would probably be good but he probably wouldn't be interested.

I think you should elect President David Palmer/Dennis Norbert from 24. He's a great President.

Default Arnold\'s Father was a Nazi Stormtrooper, But Arnold Is Anti-Racist

I just discovered this on Google (easy to find, links are everywhere).

Gustav Schwarzenegger, Arnold Schwarzenegger's father, was a Nazi stormtrooper, but it seems he was never responsible for any crimes. He apparently raised his son so as to instil great discipline.

Arnold has beeen very active in his adult life working and speaking out against racism. One of his favorite charities is the Simon Wiesenthal Center's Museum of Tolerance, for which he enjoys raising money.

(excerpt)"Arnold Alois Schwarzenegger was born on July 30, 1947 in Thal, Austria. His parents were Aurelia and Gustav Schwarzenegger, and his elder brother was Meinhard, who was their father’s favorite.

Gustav Schwarzenegger was the Chief of Police of Thal. He had also been head of the German military police during the war years in Belgium. The name "Schwarzenegger" has the tough-sounding meaning of ‘Black Plowman’. Gustav Schwarzegger was something of a legend. Little did he know
that his second son would also become a living legend.

Gustav was a strict disciplinarian. For example, he would make Arnold eat every meal with books pressed tightly under his arms to teach him to keep his elbows to his side while he ate. If a book fell from under his arms, Arnold would be severely punished.His father would make Arnold and Meinhard compete in races, studies, and even boxing matches. Gustav would humiliate the loser with scornful remarks. Every Sunday, Arnold and Meinhard had to choose among hiking, visiting a farm, seeing a play, going to a museum, or an art show. After their Sunday excursion, their father made them write a 10-page essay describing their day which he graded on Monday morning, and mistakes were not tolerated. Arnold would try hard to win a few words of praise from his father who would rarely praise him." (end excerpt)
