'See the world, let special interests pay, Schwarzenegger urges lawmakers'

See the world, let special interests pay, says the Governor.

Put that on a bumper sticker and drive it.

How does Obama get in trouble for stereotyping small town American but the Governor can say this about small town California:

"Some of them come from those little towns, you know what I am saying, they come from those little towns and they don't have that vision yet of an airport or of a highway that maybe has 10 lanes or of putting a highway on top of a highway," Schwarzenegger said. "They look at you and say, 'We don't have that in my town. What are you talking about?'


True as it might be, you can't just go around SAYING those sorts of things. Oh wait, someone did make the Obama-rhetoric connection:

Assemblyman Anthony Adams, a Republican from the mid-size city of Hesperia (population 83,000), said Schwarzenegger's comments, "while I'm sure well-intentioned, reek of a certain elitism that doesn't help foster a cooperative working relationship."


This part is true too, but if we really went with it, we'd have to disband the FPPC and that would just increase unemployment:

"I am always against when the media beats up on [lawmakers] for traveling around because someone else is paying for their trips," he said. "I mean, so what. If they were to take the money from the taxpayers, then [the media] would complain about using tax dollars to travel around the world and live in luxury and all this stuff.
