Schwarzenegger praises Obama on national security

Not all Republicans are slamming President Barack Obama's handling of the failed Christmas day bombing of Northwest Airlines flight 253. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger offered praise for the president Sunday.

"I think that he's doing everything that he can," Schwarzenegger told NBC's David Gregory. "I think that, you know, Democrats, a lot of times get the rap [that] they are not strong on security and those things. I think he has talked about the issues. I think he has been fighting for the issues."

Few other top Republicans have been so kind to Obama. Former Vice President Dick Cheney told Politico that Obama was "trying to pretend" that the U.S. is not at war with terrorists. While Sarah Palin took to Facebook to criticize Obama for using the criminal justice system to prosecute the bomber.

"Now he must back off his reckless plan to close Guantanamo, begin treating terrorists as wartime enemies not suspects alleged to have committed crimes, and recognize that the real nature of the terrorist threat requires a commander-in-chief, not a constitutional law professor," wrote Palin.

But Schwarzenegger avoided the opportunity to take a jab at the president. "It's not like the president has done something wrong because he was in Hawaii or anything. It's nothing to do with that at all. What it has to do with is simply they didn't connect the dots and within the agencies," he said.

Arnold wants universal health care for California - TXMT

Arnold is a republican I can live with.

"Schwarzenegger has proposed a sweeping health care plan to cover California's 6.5 million uninsured, including all children, regardless of their immigration status."

Maybe it wasn't comprehensive or universal enough to suit him. Would you mind citing a source so we can have an informed discussion?

No comment on his support of Obama's response to Christmas Day?

Of course he does....illegals are drowning that - state! nm

He "enthusiastically supports" healthcare reform. (sm) - Nikki

It's the "sweetheart" deal that Ben Nelson got that is Arnold's biggest gripe. I actually agree with him on this and think all states should receive federal aid, as well as Nebraska. Too bad he isn't in the Senate.

You're twisting his complaints and trying to make it sound like he's against healthcare reform, and that's simply not true. If you have a source to prove otherwise, please post it.

Arnold blasts health care bill: 'Trough of bribes, deals and loopholes'

So scratch that thing about cozying up to the White House. Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, in California's perpetual budget hell, blasted the elements of health care legislation that impose new burdens on the states in his State of the State speech today:

Now Congress is about to pile billions more onto California with the new health care bill.

While I enthusiastically support health care reform, it is not reform to push more costs onto states that are already struggling while other states get sweetheart deals.

Health care reform, which started as noble and needed legislation, has become a trough of bribes, deals and loopholes.

You’ve heard of the bridge to nowhere. This is health care to nowhere.

California's congressional delegation should either vote against this bill that is a disaster for California or get in there and fight for the same sweetheart deal Senator Nelson of Nebraska got for the Cornhusker State. He got the corn; we got the husk.

The commutation of Chelsea Manning’s prison term will forever be a blot on President Obama’s legacy. Just as the pardon granted Marc Rich by President Clinton on his last day in office became a totem of the odious pay-to-play money grubbing of Bill and Hillary, l’affaire Manning will be an enduring reminder of Obama’s constant pandering to special voter groups and mindless adherence to a progressive agenda. It will also stand as testimony to President Obama’s questionable fealty to ...

It's been said that a cat won't sit on a hot stove twice, nor on a cold one either. The cat learns a lesson from the hot stove - but it only learns that the stove itself is dangerous; it doesn't distinguish a hot stove from a cold one. It learns, yes, but it learns the wrong thing, and in doing so it takes the "lesson" beyond the existential reality, i.e. that it is heat, and not the stove itself, that is dangerous. Was 9/11 our "hot stove"? In the panic that followe ...
