Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger Can you believe it? OK, first let me say I am knocking the guy. I don't know enough about his politics or all the problems going on in California. But people, he is an ACTOR. Yeah, he's married to a very political family, but he is.....OK, I really don't care for his movies. But I still can't get my brain wrapped around actors/wrestlers/wives of actors/etc being in politics. Do they get elected because people really believe that they can do the job, or because they are famous? Ya know, the last governor actor of California became president.
I read once that when running for president the best looking guy wins. Humm...... I don't know if I agree with that, but lets say that is true. Then I can tell you hands down the next president of the good old US of A will be from North Carolina. John boy is cute, he is the boy next door, and oh, and he is killer rich. Gotta love him. hee hee
Surely we, Americans, can see past the fame, the looks, and the promises that you know they can't keep, and vote for people we really, truly, and honestly believe can do a good job. I personally don't feel I have much control over who becomes president (I know after the Florida thing I should believe) but I do believe that in local politics (and state level) I can make a difference. I VOTE. If I elect the wrong person, well at least I participated in my American right. I tried. And I will continue to try.
And funny thing. When I spell checked this, the computer already knew the correct spelling of Schwarzenegger. But it always asks if I have my name spelled right!

Loved your journal & hope you are right about Edwards. If you are not a Tarhell, you should be. Maybe Arnold will start a trend. Martin Sheen would not be a bad place to start. After all, he already knows the layout of the big house. If you are cruising journals, drop in to Southern Porches. I just started Bloging- is that a word?- & having fun.
Well, at least he suports Gay Rights. Not bad for a Republican.

To coin from a movie title, "Only in America," could such a thing happen. Regardless of one's humble beginnings, anything is possible within the USA. Said to say, that if Arnold aspires to be the president, his not being a natural born citizen may not hinder his strives. Already, a group is working toward the abatement of being a natural born citizen. . .some things just shouldn't be tampered with, and removing that requirement is one of them
