"Schwarzenegger mocks 'skinny' Barack Obama"

November 01, 2008 12:06pm

MUSCLEMAN-turned-actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger has called on Barack Obama to beef up his his policies - and his body - at a rally for Republican John McCain.
Mr Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood action hero who is now the Republican governor of California, delighted a crowd of several thousand at a McCain campaign event in Columbus, Ohio,
today by ridiculing both Obama's policies and his slender physique.

The Austrian-born former Mr Universe has hosted a bodybuilding tournament in Columbus for several years, and opened his address by inviting Senator Obama to participate in the next event.

"Every year in March I come here to organise the Arnold Classic, which is all about building the body and pumping," Mr Schwarzenegger said.

"That's why I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something about those skinny legs. I'm going to make him do some squats.

"And then we're going to make him do some biceps curls to beef up those scrawny little arms. But if he could only do something about putting some meat on his ideas.

"Senator McCain on the other hand is built like a rock. His character and his views are solid."

Senator McCain and Mr Schwarzenegger rolled into the Nationwide Arena Hockey Stadium together on the Republican candidate's campaign bus the "Straight Talk Express".

While Senator McCain received loud cheers, it was Schwarzenegger who provided some much-needed glamour and the biggest cheers with a searing attack on Senator Obama's economic policies.

He painted former Vietnam War prisoner and navy pilot Senator McCain as a "real-life American hero".
 
US Election is coming and every one is predicting Obama to win

All my interest is to see US economy to lift again to support the connected economies including Australian Economy

But I got a nasty feeling that to make full circle of Yankee idiotic financial turmoil there could be a swing to get McCain and Darling Sarah Palin to be elected. I hate it to see but who listens. The market fell down against my wishes so

Sarah hopes to be President in 8 years. Maybe Dan Quayle can be her running mate! In the meantime she can kill some baby seals. A girl after your heart Gumnut

US vice presidential hopeful Sarah Palin fell prey to a Canadian prankster when he called her impersonating French President Nicolas Sarkozy and got her to accept an invitation to hunt baby seals.

In an over-the-top French accent, a member of the Quebec comedy duo The Masked Avengers, famous for tricking celebrities and politicians including Mr Sarkozy himself, asked if Ms Palin would take him on a hunting trip by helicopter, and then in French said they could also go kill baby seals.

An apparently oblivious Ms Palin said she thought that would be fun.

"We could have a lot of fun together as we're getting work done. We could kill two birds with one stone that way," she said.

The prankster also got Ms Palin, Republican John McCain's running mate in Tuesday's US presidential election, to reveal a potential ambition for the top job in Washington.

Asked if she would like to eventually become president, the Alaska governor responded, "Well, maybe in eight years."
 

Americans are much more naive than others I must agree. I don't know why that is.

Perhaps ask the ole Bill Clinton who thought that the only b**w job he got in 8 years in the Presidency would remain a secret.

This is a pretty funny story, Knobby. I started to laugh, then remembered that this is the woman that a significant proportion of the American population would be happy to have as President, should Mr McCain experience some life threatening event.

I think it is mostly because they are bought up to believe there IS no better place then the US, and their media reports on little else. Papers like the LA Times have a ludicrously small section devoted to World news and unless America is directly involved (ie Iraq) they tend to not report on it. NPR (National Public Radio) was the only news source that seemed to eschew this. Plenty of people I spoke to over there were not planning to travel outside of the US because they said "Why would I go anywhere else?".
 
Here's the transcript, courtesy of Toronto's Globe and Mail

Sarah Palin: This is Sarah.

Masked Avengers: Ah, yeah, Gov. Palin.

Palin: Hello.

Avengers: Just hold on for President Sarkozy, one moment.

P: Oh, it's not him yet, they're saying. I always do that.

A: Yes, hello, Gov. Palin.

P: Hello, this is Sarah, how are you?

A: Fine, and you? This is Nicolas Sarkozy speaking, how are you?

P: Oh, it's so good to hear you. Thank you for calling us.

A: Oh, it's a pleasure.

P: Thank you sir, we have such great respect for you, John McCain and I. We love you and thank you for taking a few minutes to talk to me.

A: I follow your campaigns closely with my special American adviser Johnny Hallyday, you know?

P: Yes, good.

A: Excellent. Are you confident?

P: Very confident and we're thankful that polls are showing that the race is tightening and...

A: Well I know very well that the campaign can be exhausting. How do you feel right now, my dear?

P: I feel so good. I feel like we're in a marathon and at the very end of the marathon you get your second wind and you plow to the finish.

A: You see, I got elected in France because I'm real and you seem to be someone who's real, as well.

P: Yes, yeah. Nico, we so appreciate this opportunity.

A: You know I see you as a president one day, too.

P: Maybe in eight years.

A: Well, I hope for you. You know, we have a lot in common because personally one of my favourite activities is to hunt, too.

P: Oh, very good. We should go hunting together.

A: Exactly, we could try go hunting by helicopter like you did. I never did that. Like we say in French, on pourrait tuer des bebe phoque s, aussi.

P: Well, I think we could have a lot of fun together while we're getting work done. We can kill two birds with one stone that way.

A: I just love killing those animals. Mmm, mmm, take away life, that is so fun. I'd really love to go, so long as we don't bring along Vice-President Cheney.

P: No, I'll be a careful shot, yes.

A: Yes, you know we have a lot in common also, because except from my house I can see Belgium. That's kind of less interesting than you.

P: Well, see, we're right next door to different countries that we all need to be working with, yes.

A: Some people said in the last days and I thought that was mean that you weren't experienced enough in foreign relations and you know that's completely false. That's the thing that I said to my great friend, the prime minister of Canada Stef Carse.

P: Well, he's doing fine, too, and yeah, when you come into a position underestimated it gives you an opportunity to prove the pundits and the critics wrong. You work that much harder.

A: I was wondering because you are so next to him, one of my good friends, the prime minister of Quebec, Mr. Richard Z. Sirois, have you met him recently? Did he come to one of your rallies?

P: I haven't seen him at one of the rallies but it's been great working with the Canadian officials. I know as governor we have a great co-operative effort there as we work on all of our resource-development projects. You know, I look forward to working with you and getting to meet you personally and your beautiful wife. Oh my goodness, you've added a lot of energy to your country with that beautiful family of yours.

A: Thank you very much. You know my wife Carla would love to meet you, even though you know she was a bit jealous that I was supposed to speak to you today.

P: Well, give her a big hug for me.

A: You know my wife is a popular singer and a former top model and she's so hot in bed. She even wrote a song for you.

P: Oh my goodness, I didn't know that.

A: Yes, in French it's called de rouge a levre sur un cochon, or if you prefer in English, Joe the Plumber...it's his life, Joe the Plumber.

P: Maybe she understands some of the unfair criticism but I bet you she is such a hard worker, too, and she realizes you just plow through that criticism.

A: I just want to be sure. That phenomenon Joe the Plumber. That's not your husband, right?

P: That's not my husband but he's a normal American who just works hard and doesn't want government to take his money.

A: Yes, yes, I understand we have the equivalent of Joe the Plumber in France. It's called Marcel, the guy with bread under his armpit.

P: Right, that's what it's all about, the middle class and government needing to work for them. You're a very good example for us here.

A: I see a bit about NBC, even Fox News wasn't an ally as much as usual.

P: Yeah, that's what we're up against.

A: Gov. Palin, I love the documentary they made on your life. You know Hustler's Nailin' Paylin?

P: Ohh, good, thank you, yes.

A: That was really edgy.

P: Well, good.

A: I really loved you and I must say something also, governor, you've been pranked by the Masked Avengers. We are two comedians from Montreal.

P: Ohhh, have we been pranked? And what radio station is this?

A: CKOI in Montreal.

P: In Montreal? Tell me the radio station call letters.

A: CK...hello?
 

Somewhat off topic, but Australia seems to be headed in that direction as well ... "The lucky country" Our pollies seem to indulge in it often enough too. Then again, perhaps every country feels that it's the best. Perhaps patriotism is just what the elite instill in the hearts and minds of fools in order to maintain the status quot :
 

Let's face it - how would the human race EVER have managed to fight all those endless "wars to end all wars" over the millenia without a little "patriotism/tribalism" thrown into the mix?

It all started when caveman Ugg said to caveman Ogg "Grmmph ... **shakes big axe at head of Ogg** ... Ugg-men beat Ogg-men all time ... Grrowl" :axt:

Oh, I completely agree. Without religion and patriotism ... the sheep would be too difficult to control. Who would die for a country without the promise of a blissful afterlife? Who would die for a piece of land were it not for the undying love of it?

I know I certainly wouldn't die for any cause, nor would I endure any form of pain! I guess we do need the drones, I'm personally more inclined to join the ranks of said elite though
 
Prominent visitors to America over the years including Charles Darwin and Oscar Wilde, have found it remarkable that such shrewd , hardheaded business people can be so gullible when it comes to matters outside their immediate interests.

This is the land of evangelists where smooth talkers like Billy Graham and Martin Luther King drew massive audiences with the promise of a better life and salvation.

Tomorrow we are going to see Americans joyfully embrace with evangelical zeal the biggest scam perpetrated on a nation since Princess Diana was elevated to sainthood.
 
Schmuckie, thanks for posting the transcript. It doesn't make her look as bad without the previously suggested reference to killing the baby seals.

True

You can't trust the media, even in Australia.

Don't be so sure - the latest IBD/TIPP daily tracking poll has it a two point race:

IBD/TIPP 10/29 - 11/01 Obama 47 McCain 45 and 8% not sure or undecided. This was the most accurate poll in 2004. This race is closing fast. Undecideds are breaking for McCain - the safe choice, and Sarah is bringing out the Republican base BIG TIME.
 

I just hope that we never have this drawn out 'presidential race'. It has been going on for 18 months. What a waste of time and effort.

Just get on with it because the world needs a stable US whether it is led by Obama or Gramps.

Reports in the Canadian media have also talked about killing baby seals - that was the part that was "Like we say in French, on pourrait tuer des bebe phoque s, aussi." No one is taking her to task for that, but it was part of the comedic routine of slipping one past her.

BTW, the Prime Minister of Canada is Stephen Harper, not Stef Carse, and the Premier (a.k.a. Prime Minister) of Quebec is Jean Charest. Unless she didn't hear the speaker properly, it's inexcusable that she didn't know the name of the Prime Minister of Canada.

I did get a chance to hear the voice version. She basically sounded like an idiot. Scary to think she could be one heartbeat away from the presidency of the United States.

As opposed to what?

The non scam of continuing the crusades from the last 8 years?

Entirely agree. She sounded like a ditzy receptionist, not a VP

... on the bright side, Tina Fey could always fill in for her.
 
If Palin do get in you have it recorded from the weekend.

She is an stupid, self centered and willful person who shows no judgment.
