It is ashame that he wasn't born in the United States. Arnold the Statesman is bravely going where no California governor has ever had to go. Head to head with the biggest financial crisis in seventy years. He has the poise and posture that heroes are made of.
Don't get me wrong, I am not completely happy with his proposed budget; in fact, I think it sucks. But you have to admit, he always seems to make his first budget proposals so outlandishly offensive that it causes everyone to pay attention. And once everyone is paying attention, the negotiations in earnest begin.
That's leadership, getting all parties to the table to hammer out a deal. He has
a knack for substantive debate, something that is missing on his republican side of the aisle. He really likes results. And, let's hope he is flexible enough to expand revenue for California through the vehicle licensing fee.
Let's hope he can convince his own party that California needs expanding revenue.
