I'm glad that this country knew better than to elect another actor President. One fuckup was enough.



He was a US Senator before he was an actor, IIRC.

Yes, and Ronny Raygun held the seat that Ahnold sits in now... Your point? [/smartass:P]
Illinois needs a CCW Law. NOW.

Undergrad degree in Political Science. Degree in law. Passed the bar. Served as council in the Watergate hearings. Spent years practicing law. Served about ten years in the Senate. Oh, and did a little acting on the side over the last 20 years, then after leaving the Senate in 2003, began acting regularly.

But did he inhale? :o



No idea. He was admitted to the bar in 1967, so he may have been to busy to enjoy the '60's.[:/]

I wasn't enthusiastic about his campaign, but on paper his qualifications look more impressive than someone like Obama.

If he's anything like my law school classmates, he had PLENTY of time to inhale.

Yeah, if he was oh maybe 15 years younger and a bit more enthusiastic about running a presidential campaign, I would have liked to see what he could offer.

I was saying he was a politician first, actor second. Reagan and Arnold were the exact opposites. I probably won't vote for another actor, or ex-wrestler (see ex Minnesota governor)... :P

Reagan achieved his foreign policy goals, unlike the last 3 guys. (or the two prior to him)

I don't think Arnold would have been a bad one either, but the question matters not, since there is no chance that rule will be removed in time for him.

The point is that the 'actor Prez' comment is bullshit. ALL politicians are actors, anyway.
