He was the perfect political superhero, sent to rescue California from spend-happy politicians at just the right time. And yet Arnold Schwarzenegger’s reign as governor has turned into a disaster flick that could spell catastrophe for the Golden State—and the whole nation.

If we allow the same policies to destroy our country where are we going to go?"

The video is well done and sobering. Click over and watch it. It's an SEIU nation apparently. Oh, and you wonder where lots of the cash came from that elected O Duce?
