Oh God no please don't allow this crazy man be president please. Bush almost destroyed us all don't send in the terminator was this some kind of a joke? The terminator this was all a set up. How did this guy get past the constitution he's not allowed to be president this was our last hope. Rosie O'Donald would be a better president. Oh God help us in our time of need send down a lightning bolt or something but don't let him be president! Oh no God we are all dooooooomed!!!!!

Arnold left his beloved country of Austria and made the US his home. Married an american citizen, became himself and american citizen, fathered american citizens is presently in a public office as an american citizen. Would he undermine the Presidency just because his mother gave birth to him in another country? He had no clue where he was when he was born, why fault him for that. He has proven his allegiance and faith in this country and it's way of life. If he is the best capable person for the job, then why not? Anthony Torres

When have you found a man with the determination and ability to master all three phases of life (physical, expressive and wise) on this globe? This man will succeed at whatever task he chooses. Don't change the Constitution, but better for him than a slithering, characterless creature called Bill.

I am not sure that Arnold could do a worse job than Bush. He is a savvy individual and a person who has embraced our system. He is likely to do a very good job.

in response to the second comment posted.why not make him president?....because he has forgotten that at one time he was an illegal immigrant and now he wants to shut down the border for everybody else, and not let nobody else become legal..Or is it because he is a multibillionaire?Why not make him president of Australia?

We're doomed if we have very many people in our country like Stacey who constantly take the Lord's name in vain. If God ever sends down a lightning volt, don't count on it being directed to Arnold.
