Has someone hacked Richard's account? This cannot be him!!! Maybe Ahnold's first pledge was to distribute happy gas free of charge to disgruntled voters

Well looks like I have a new Boss.
I am weiry, since I have no idea what he and "HIS"
people stand for to get us out of this dept.
I will give the guy a chance, sit back and watch.
I hope Arnie and his mentors do what is right for Calif.
(and hope he doesn't mostly help the Rich and big business)

Did anybody notice how skinny Marie looks?
I thought she looked like a skeleton with skin.
(and they say the TV makes you look 10 pounds heavier)

I hope people will give him a chance to fix things before passing judgement on him. The problems didn't happen overnight, and the "fixing" isn't going to happen overnight either. I really do hope that things will settle down.

And yes, Karen, Maria Shriver looks like a skeleton! Talk about seeing one's bone structure..........she is a rail!!

LOL! Soledad, I am so busted trying to convince myself I bought the hype! Thanks for the reality check.

It's his advisors that won, and I seem to have been assimilated into the apathetic masses as I have no idea who his advisors are. I take it Uncle Ted isn't one of them! Or . . ?

It will be interesting to see if he gets the audit going. Having seen many an audit over my career, though, I'm a little cynical about the results of any audit conducted.

Frankly, there wasn't anyone running I cared for, including the incumbant. I don't think "recall" is a good precedent, but now that it is over, I just want to move on, and hope for the best (possible).

I remember one of his "advisors" was some guy named Buffett, and I was disappointed to find out it wasn't Jimmy Buffett

LOL! The original Parrothead from Fla as advisor! Works for me! I actually thought of you this morning, Laurie, as I watched the news and heard Arnie talking about "reaching out" and (I really do support him, but my twisted side took over) all I could hear in my head was, "Reach out, reach out and grope somebody" (you know the tune).

[lbaker]

so your twisted side takes over and you think of ME I'm touched (or groped )

[gini]

How often did you use the word "grope" until this past week?

[Rio and Me]

Dont know much about this subject but he should be an asset to politics and i hope he puts right what others have ruined!!!

[Soledad]

Oh, I'm not sad/mad. I'm eager to see how this all pans out. I have my own predictions.

But the really big question is - Does this mean that we'll be spared a T-4?

[babolaypo65]

Well, when you put it THAT way, perhaps its worth the sacrifice...

Well, it looks like it's almost time to put this thread to sleep.

Before THAT happens….

For being nothing more than an idea, politics is truly an evil problem on the planet.
It's killed, taken over countries, made mad men, destroyed countries and ??????
Maybe we need to take the 'sides' out of the whole process and unite under a leader,
As opposed to lifting stones by the side of the road looking for more dirt on people.

The last 'perfect' person that was qualified for office walked on water,. fed the masses, performed
miracles and was nailed to a big cross…….and even then I kinda doubt he would have made the cut.

And while Cahleeforneeuh may be the laughing stock of the planet I only have a few words for all
of you……..

Get your own movie star.

While all the rest of you all were laughing at the candidates and stories about the politics here, I was
really excited that people were taking it very seriously. There was a fantastic turnout and I waited 30 minutes to vote, usually I enter my polling place and it's a few of the poll workers, the machines and me.
I do like the fact that some of the women offer you coffee and a donut and try to get you to hang out with them….not last night, it was all business.

Yes, we ARE crazy in Cahleeforneeuh…..remember that, should you stop in anytime soon!
I am sure that part of the insanity is based on what we do within the boundaries of our state.
I do detect a bit of jealousy and disdain…..could it be that on other places on the planet the people
can't call on a system to get rid of the jokers running THEIR country??????

Yep, Ahrnold is all about make believe and selling movie tickets….Some polititians don't bother with
the selling tickets part……they only believe in the make believe.

Either we will fall on out faces or turn this state around…..Yep, we'll get what we deserve…. give us
some time! You may get to laugh some more or say- begrudgingly- hey, IT worked for them…….


I really hate politics…..I really do……but it gives me great pleasure to make fun of all the tight arsed
people who take a conccept that is supposed to be FOR THE PEOPLE and turn it into a left/right, right/wrong issue……..

Hopefully some of the morons and idiots you have running the henhouse in your area will look at what happened here and take heed…..maybe they'll shake in their boots and start to look into rules, trying to
see if THEY can be recalled……Holding office may get back to being a position/job that people will
respect and honor….

An actor for governor??

It happened before and we survived that era….


Hang loose folks……..it's only politics.

One of the things that made this race so exciting was the short duration. Presidential politics are so boring when the candidates start stumping two years ahead of time.

I'm less concerned with the politicians than I am the media giants who are really the thought-police and who forgot that the only place they were supposed to express an opinion was on the op/ed page.

I think that its great that politicians are getting scared.

Good luck California - I hope it works out for you.
