The Arnie-Barry lovefest

Well, how d’ya like that rebranded GOP now? The Taxinator, Calif. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, welcomed Barack Obama to southern California with open arms this afternoon — praising his courage and extolling the porkulus package.
Schwarzenegger has been busy taxing everything in sight in the once-Golden State, pouring fuel on the anti-Prop. 8 fire, and preparing to come begging for a federal handout. Is he angling for a job in the Obama administration or what?
You want to know what “rebranding” the GOP looks like? Take a look at the basket case state of California and its Obama sycophant governor.
“I’ll be back?”
Let’s hope not.

I thought Obama was a “girly man”?
Smokin’ Not-so-Hawts…
Somebody else likes Pecs…
Actualy the 2 are alot alike.
1/ They both have star power.
2/ Niether is actualy qualified for the job they have.
3/ Both are spending far more than they are bringing in.
4/ Both are determined to drive thier state/nation into bankruptcy.
SChwarzenneggar has slowly become the Gray Davis of the Republican Party…not that we have anything that even resembles a Republican Party out here anymore.
Ahhhnold has slowly and carefully become more and more of a Liberal since he took office. When he was first elected, it looked like we might have finally got a foot in the door, and that he might not be as big of a RINO as we were worried about. However, over time, he has become something that the standard definition of RINO doesn’t even cover.
This mess over the last two years has only seen him moving more and more into the Left column while spitting on everyone who put him in office along the way. The destruction he started with by removing any rights from injured workers in his Worker’s Comp Reform spread to every aspect of this State until now he is going to tax us to death, even potentially returning the DMV surcharge that Davis enacted that got him booted out of office, and making it even larger.
He refuses to consider all that is bleeding the state dry, such as Illegal Immigration, teacher’s and State Employees unions, and instead, only sees taxing us to death as they way out.
So of course he welcomes Der Fuhrer with open arms. I’m sure they will have a great deal to talk about.
Arnold might be angling for a job in the Obama Administration…how are his taxes? No, HIS taxes, not what he’s done to everyone else’s…
I was born in California, and I wouldn’t dream of going home.
Schwarzenegger needs to remember that Gray Davis’ decision to put the Car Tax on steroids is what got him ridden out of town on a rail, and how he got Davis’ job by standing against it in a recall vote.
Having said that… Tom McClintock, will you pleeeeease come back home and run for Governor?
obama IS a girly man. What?
Maybe Awnuld will help Da One pump up those scrawny legs.
More than you thought
5 – neither were born in the USA
Unglaublich!
Why is this RINO still in the party?
OH YES, he has lots of buddies in the RNC… I forgot.
/sarc
So. My elected representatives are (drum roll):
Governor: Schwarzen-something
House of Representatives: Mary Bono/what’s-her-name
Senators: Boxer/Feinstein (Lord, help me)
President: NeroBama
Does anyone still woder why I am a registered Independent?
Just.Shoot.Me.
I won’t be back.
Miss Cheryl, you are right.
obama was born in Kenya, I KNOW it.
Perfect pair . . . the terminator and the impersonator.
Shouldn’t that be the terminator and the teleprompter?
Tough call.
I think they should be in a remake of the movie “Twins,” and call it “Twinkies”
Sadly, I work for a California county government; welfare department. At an Admin meeting 2 days ago we were told CA is getting $1.2 BILLION in “stimulus” money. Half is going to TANF for increased welfare caseloads. The other half, some $600,000,000 was going to “subsidized employment”. What this means is that county welfare departments will contact employers with an offer to PAY THEM to hire welfare recipients to do…something. LA County is getting enough money for 10,000 of these slots. SF is getting enough for 1,000. Now, all these “employees” are going to be told that the Great and Mighty Obama gots dem some jobs!!
By the way, I can say that it’s not the lack of jobs that is the problem with welfare clients. It’s the lack of a desire to work. When I did casework, they were lucky to last three DAYS.
I can’t wait to see this proof.
If you people “like” Arnold, you’ll “love” Charlie Christ. He’s begging for stimulus dough.
IF it applies to the Prez and the Gov, Auslander Raus!
undresiege: I think thats their point. Apparantly the original birth certificate is missing. I think its a non-starter but it is a legitimate question.
Some dude gave me a pamphlet on Las Vegas Blvd. with twinkies in it…the pictures in it were of nice-looking guys & it had their phone number on it an’ everything…I thought $69 was pretty cheap too…
Finally! Someone finally gets what we Californians were warning the McCain nose-holders about! That is what voting for “the lesser of two evils” gets you.
Next time, don’t be so squeamish about voting 3rd party. Hear that Rush, and Sean and the other RINO enablers?
What I never figured out was since Arnold was married to a Kennedy that it never dawned on repubs in California that Arnie was a lib too…you can’t get in bed with a Kennedy and NOT walk out a liberal…they are too intolerant of conservatives…..Same thing with Obama -his Marxist handwriting was on the wall, and peole still think he’s not one…amazing
That’s a tad different from #15 claiming to KNOW where Barack Hussein Obama was born. If he/she KNOWS anything he/she should be on some news show pronto solving a lot of “issues” on the subject, and contacting various goverenment officials. Assuming he/she is anti Obama, I figure he/she would be a key witness in prosecuting the largest case of election fraud in world history.
Or maybe he/she don’t know spit.
Who knows?
Rumor has it Coulter bedded Maher, and Ingrahm bedded Olberman. Some folks can separate love and lust maybe.
I don’t know. You know?
So of course he welcomes
DerDuh Fuhrer with open arms. I’m sure they will have a great deal to talk about.FIFY
Don’t blame me, I voted Tom McClintock for Gov.
Arnie is a Democrat (but anybody was better than fmr Gov. Gray Davis…OY)
Tom is a true conservative…. I hope he runs again for California Gov.
Maybe they will activate their wonder-twin powers and boldly snatch failure from the mouth of success.
“Wonder-twin powers ACTIVATE” :
California economy collapses as last citizens evacuate leaving only illegal immigrants and welfare mothers to tax.
“Wonder-twin powers ACTIVATE” :
Gov. Schwarzenegger and Prez Obama hatch brilliant plan to increase AIG bonus tax rates to all citizens making over $1 a year. Money will be deposited in a “special fund” that will be guarded by House Speaker Pelosi and only issued for “approved uses”. 10% of these proceeds will go into a “super-special fund” that will used for unpredictable things like Speaker Pelosi’s transportation expenses.
“Wonder-twin powers ACTIVATE” :
All use of automobiles has been banned in the state of California. The enormous savings from decreased pollution, road upkeep, and fuel consumption will be divided up between the illegal immigrants and welfare mothers after 10% is transferred to Speaker Pelosi’s “Super-special fund”.
Another facet of this mess is that AH-Nold was the least left person who could be elected here! In the beginning he had some decent ballot measures that all failed. He wasn’t the greatest choice to begin with and has progressively gotten worse.
The People’s Socialist State of Kalifornia is the quintessential proof that leftist/socialist policies don’t work. And this is what 52% of the country wants to imitate. It’s sureal.
Spouse born & raised in SoCal, I’ve been here since 1967…..and tomorrow we’re faxing an offer over on a lovely home in Indiana. I’ll fight the good fight from there on behalf of our (grown) kids here. We hate what’s happened to our formerly beautiful state of California; laws to the good could be enacted tomorrow, but it would take YEARS to undo the damage that’s been done.
Tom McClintock (R-CA) had a pretty good chance of winning on the heels of the Gray Davis recall election. It may not have been a landslide, like Arnie, but he was more than electable.
As for his first few measures, one being workers compensation reform, that was Tom’s plan he used. And it worked.
Now, however, they are increasing the rates here in California – for State issued coverage (mostly comprising of small businesses) by 25% effective July 1st.
Talk about opening the flood gates. Increase in sales tax, increase in payroll taxes, and now an increase in work comp rates (a mandatory coverage for all employers).
This is going to close down the small business sector and cut jobs big time here.
Dumb Dumb Dumb Dumb!!!!
Came in with the best intentions but he could not overcome the South Central L.A. cabal that run the State Capital.
No one can overcome the entitlement crowd in my state.
You will pay dearly to live in this once favored spot.
Retired Fireman in CA means, as my former classmates have told me, a “six-figure” retirement, right? I know it wasn’t your choice (sic?), but you are a part of California’s problem. AFSME members are a part of most states budget problem. How do I know? My recently departed brother was a member/leader.
It’s sad unions do not own up to their blame in the various crises going on across our country.
california is living proof that it isn’t what you earn, but what you spend. any damn fool can spend more than they earn. california is probably the richest state in the union, yet it’s socialist do gooders in the gubmint can bankrupt it. anything can be bankrupted by rediculous spending, even the u.s. barry, ask arny why his state is 42b in debt and raising taxes on everything from cigarettes to sex. then ask yourself if the u.s. does what arny and the dems in california did, who will ride to the u.s.’s rescue with a bailout. the u.n.?
Responses to the news of the day:
1> Plant a garden. I just planted the tomatoes and strawberries yesterday. Some seeds are started and will join in 2-3 weeks, which gives me plenty of time to clean for Passover. LOL
2> Join jpfo.org and educate yourself on our reasons for needing to belong.
3> Set up a home pantry with enough food for your family (and pets) for at least 6 months (a year would be best.)
4> Keep required medications stocks at 3 months or better.
5> Learn to do simple home repairs yourself.
6> Find people in the community with barterable skills and keep the list handy. (No cash=no recordable income/tax)
7> Learn how to protect yourself and family.
8> Keep a gal or two of bleach for purifying water.
9> In California, the threat of earthquakes are very real and I have had emergency kits of various sizes for at least the last 15 years. Tents, sleeping bags and a medical kit containing food bars and water in the car, since the car is usually where you are is a good start.
10> Learn basic cook-from-scratch recipes: breads, beans, soups and salads would be great starts. Learn basic nutritition so that you can keep healthy while maximizing time food will last is a good idea, too.
11> Buy from LOCAL people as much as possible. You may pay more, but keeping small businesses in business is most important.
Sleeping with the Enemy
One to add; 5/ Neither were born in America.
Not having read the rest of the comments, if I’ve duplicated, my answer is “Great minds think alike”.
John Ziegler said from the beginning had misgivings about this guy. He wondered whether Arnold was a “Manchurian governor”.
Most politicians say things only to get into power or to exercise power. They whore their principles, should they have any, because they are whores by nature. Arnold is one of them and that’s why he should be recalled.
You think I’m harsh? Think about his speech on conservatism at the Republican convention a few years back.
Also remember Arianna Huffington used to pass herself as conservative. You really can’t trust anybody.
Exactly what I was going to say. Have you heard the radio stations here, including the Spanish broadcasts? They are telling people if they plan to buy a car to do it before April 1st so that they don’t have to pay the tax increase. I keep thinking, you people voted in the ones who caused this, you should be more than happy to pay more taxes. It is what you asked for.
Arnie drove that poor sick state into the fiscal trash can and now he’ll beg anybody, anytime for money. Fortunately, his buddy Obama just raped the federal treasury so he should be good for a dollar or two. What a sorry couple of self serving shysters.
When Arnie Met Berry, sounds like a romantic comedy. Son of Immigrant meets Immigrant which one is which
The Rino-nater. Here in
Calee-forrrnya, if it bleeds, we can tax it. In fact if it doesnt bleed, we can tax it too.
Hey Ahnold…go tax yourself!!
Naa Aahh, No.She.Di-Ant!!!!
yeah she did…don’t say that to argue but…in late 90′s she was on a comedy central show host by that dillard Maher…the set up was Puffington was the conservative and the dumbocrat was non other than Al Franken. Now the whole thing could have been a set up it sure didn’t appear that way back then. Besides she was married to wealthy Republican at the time, in fact turns out he was gay, see what she did to him.
or be found sleeping with the fishes…
Correct me if wrong but doesn’t California have over 150 state agencies? Jeez, what part of your life don’t they control out there. They ought to change their nickname to the Golden Shower State the way the bureaucrats can p*ss all over you and your rights.
I had such high hopes for Arnold. It was so exciting to kick the bum out and send a hero in to reform the out of control state.
Then the voters neutered him by rejecting all his special election initiatives.
His only hope at that point was to capitualte and pander to the left.
Oh Lord, may a tsunami-asteroid-earth quake-solar flare- not all hit California at one time, but if they WERE to all do so ALL at one time this would be a good day TO DO SO.
Amen.
*Remember, California is the canary in the coal mine; Keep an eye on it as it will be the first state to face economic collapse; P-BO can’t undo the destruction the Terminator has already accomplished; If they keep on keepin’ on with the bloated spending supported by increased taxes, it will be over for the Golden State.
Maintaining your principles in the face of cash is what most politicians suffer from.
When we the people are ready to elect people who do not pander to us, we will continue to get what we deserve.
More than you thought
#5 – neither were born in the USA
Post #10…..hahahaha, love it!!!!!
Atleast everyone knows Arnold can’t be President…too bad they still haven’t learned the truth ’bout Obam-uhhh.
Until Arnold get’s serious about California’s illegal problem and starts drilling for oil…California is doomed! I won’t be holding my breath.
The “lovefest” title and picture of Barry and Arnold both smoking reminded me of the aligations made by Larry Sinclair.
N-O-O-O-O!!!!
Just Los Angeles/Hollywood.
AMEN!

undresiege,
The “proof” of Obama’s birth documentation first showed up as a forgery (along with another clear forgery) on DailyKos.
Got that? A Kos kiddie created it.
The Obama campaign then “doubled down” by creating a hard copy of this forgery, which they produced at the campaign HQ in Chicago, and only showed to a small, controlled, friendly audience (Annenberg Political Fact Check). That group went on to post a page on their web site that many people (including many members of Congress) accepted as “proof” that Obama was born in Hawaii.
But can Political Fact Check be trusted?
No. Their web page has two blatant lies:
and
Neither of those is true.
1) Contrary to what they claim, representatives from FactCheck.org have never seen Obama’s original birth certificate. What they inspected was the forged Certification of Live Birth (COLB) that was produced at the Obama campaign headquarters. This COLB was not produced by the state of Hawaii, and has never been verified by the state of Hawaii.
2) The director of Hawaii’s Department of Health has never publicly confirmed that Obama was born in Honolulu. The Associated Press spread that lie, but Dr. Fukino’s October 31st statement does NOT claim or confirm that Obama was born in Honolulu. It also doesn’t claim that the COLB produced by the Obama campaign is authentic.
No one should take the word of the Obama campaign or FactCheck.org as “proof” that the COLB is authentic. It is no more authentic than the Bush National Guard memos.
I don’t know what your friend is smoking, or where either of you got your numbers from, but I am nowhere near a 6 figure number. I am out on a disability retirement and am trying to raise my children on HALF of what I once made, which was STILL nowhere near 6 figures.
It is people like you…the ones with absolutely NO CLUE about what you are talking about, spreading RUMORS and calling them facts that leads to people like Obama getting elected.
You want to debate the FACTS of how the State of California treats their sick/injured/disabled firefighters, I would be more than happy to enlighten you. We can start with the fact that THEY DON’T DO S&&T!!!
Now, would you care to repeat your BS?
And who the hell is ASFME?
How about SF?
What about a Kenyan birth certificate? That would certainly be proof that Pres Obama was born in Kenya.
Only if Botox “Betty”, er Nazi Nan is at home when it hits.
Wow…color me surprised that I received an answer to my question.
