| California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver, says America may someday amend the U.S. Constitution and elect a foreign-born president -- but it won't be her husband. "Forget about it. It is not going to happen. The process takes years, and this is as far as it goes," Shriver, the niece of former President John F. Kennedy, told Vanity Fair magazine amid talk of amending the Constitution to allow the Austrian-born film star to run for president. Shriver also said that despite their political differences -- she is a Democrat, he a Republican -- their marriage was strong and passionate. "(We're) still engaged with each other, hot for each other, into each other," she said. "There hasn't been a moment when I have been bored. I have worked and worked on my marriage, and it has paid off." Shriver admitted that stories before Schwarzenegger's election as governor in 2003 about his womanizing were "flat-out tough, painful, no doubt about it." When interviewer Marie Brenner asked whether a part of her wondered if the stories could be true, Shriver said: "You have to know the person in front of you. You have to be able to separate what your reality is, what other people's perceptions are. .... You have to go on with your life." Asked how she coped, Shriver said, "I fight. ... You have to struggle in every aspect of your life." A member of America's most famous political family, the Kennedys, Shriver said that in marrying Schwarzenegger she needed to defy expectations and was glad she did. "Everyone assumed that I was supposed to marry someone like a John Kerry, some preppy that had gone to Harvard or Yale," she said. "I didn't want to marry those boys. I did not like them. I had been around them my whole life. I interrupted the story line. I wanted out of that suffocation. I wanted someone different. I married my authentic self." Schwarzenegger told Vanity Fair he understood his wife's need to break away, calling the Shriver family "the clones." "Everyone in the family thinks exactly the same," he said. "If her mother says it is green, it is green. If her father says it is black, it is black. When you are in the family, you think this is normal, and then you meet someone from the outside and the lights go on. Here was a guy who was free.... If he wants to be a Republican, he is a Republican. If he wants to be a movie star, he is a movie star." |
And if he wants to be a Nazi, he is a Nazi?
I'm just thanking the lucky stars that be that Arnie the Nazi will never be president. Oy, vey!
'Bina.
California governor honored
Senior Bush suggests that Schwarzenegger could someday become president

COLLEGE STATION - Former President George H.W. Bush presented California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger an award for public service Tuesday and suggested the foreign-born, former action movie star could someday be elected president.
In regard to him ever being president of the United States, my advice to you Aggies and to any of those doubters, don't bet against Arnold Schwarzenegger," Bush told about 2,500 people attending the award ceremony at Texas A&M University.
The former president didn't endorse Schwarzenegger for the nation's highest office. But he obliquely referred to recent discussions about amending the U.S. Constitution to allow a foreign-born citizen to be president.
Schwarzenegger, who was born in Austria, is ineligible for the White House. But Bush said people have been underestimating him during his entire career — as a bodybuilder, actor and now governor.
Schwarzenegger tried to downplay the presidential speculation, but he said immigrants should have the opportunity to run for the office.
"I like the opportunity," he replied, eliciting laughter, when an audience member said he didn't think immigrants should be given the opportunity to be president.
"Of course, not because of me. I only have an interest to fix California," the governor added. "But I think that if someone lives here a period of time ... and votes and all that and makes good contributions to the country, I think someone should have the right to also run for president."
The former president presented Schwarzenegger the 2004 George Bush Award for "excellence in public service" and praised the governor for his dreams and his perseverance.
Previous recipients of the award include former Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, former German Chancellor Helmut Kohl and U.S. Sen. Edward Kennedy, D-Mass., the uncle of Schwarzenegger's wife, Maria Shriver

Don't thank the Cloud Being. Thank Maria.
But not yet.
But not yet.
I believe that the reason the framers did not want anyone but a natural born citizen being president is because one can never really be sure where ones loyalties lay if you are raised by parents who are loyal to another country. Can you imagine a mole sent here to become a naturalized citizen with the intent of gaining the reputation to get into politics and run for president? What if he was able to become president? If such a mole were to take the stance of being a right wing politician like Arnold, one could do a lot of things to help destroy this country. Hell, look at what Bush has been able to get away with without facing impeachment. How much worse could it be if someone with loyalties elsewhere were in control? Though, I don't believe Bush is loyal to this country. I believe he is only loyal to money and power. If nothing else, just look at the conflict of interest if even say a Canadian born was president negotiating trade deals with Canada.
I would have posted this in the poll thread but it looked like it self-destructed.

Hate to say this but I’d rather have the Nazi Terminator as Prez than what we have now! And I’m totally amazed that I feel that way! Fuckin’ YIKES!
