Arnold and Big Politics
Schwarzenegger, the former governor of California, who headed the state from 2003 to 2010, ended up in the top ten worst governors in America. He was accused of using budgetary funds for personal purposes, of tying selfish friendships, of promoting friends to key posts.
The rating of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger since 2009 did not exceed 30%. The state budget deficit of $ 19 billion, the payment of bills, forced leave of civil servants, the reduction of their salaries: financial collapse.
He was condemned by the Democrats for obstructing the introduction of new taxes, and when he raised taxes to fill the budget, Republicans began to taunt him.
The same Democrats despised his attempts to restrict citizens in their guaranteed rights.
Pupils, students, parents hated the smell of his cigars.
On the way to governorship
Many laughed - iron Arnie, whose "ceiling" is the post of chairman of the Council for Physical Culture and Sports will replace Gray Davis at the governor's post?
Schwarzenegger by 2003 was already deeply involved in big politics, having married in 1986 Mary Shriver, the niece of Democrat John F. Kennedy. Nevertheless, the future governor of California was sympathetic to the Republicans, willingly collaborating with the Bush administrations.
They trusted him. He popularized sports and a healthy lifestyle, having taken part in bodybuilding, and then successfully built a career in Hollywood, in addition, he successfully invested in real estate, earning the first million at the age of 22. He believed that he had won popular love.
