CA Governator Arnie Reviles ObamaCare’s “Bribes, Deals, and Loopholes”
Posted By Vicki McClure Davidson on January 7, 2010
Arnold Schwarzenegger, California's 'Governator', is plenty P.O'd about the bribes, deals, and loopholes used to pass ObamaCare
RINO California governor Arnold Schwarzenegger is torqued about BHO and his weaselly henchmen’s sleazy efforts to bribe and make secret deals to get enough votes to pass the congressional health care bill. A power-grabbing bill that is a disastrous, non-cohesive mess of thousands of pages, exceeding the length of the Russian epic War and Peace, and has been proven to not lower the cost of health care to taxpayers.
These clandestine bribes are just a small part of the “America, Chicago-style” waggery taking place in our hopenchange White House. This is nothing new in the Age of Obama, Mr. Governator, so don’t act so naive and surprised in your belated scolding. Conservative bloggers have already covered the shady back room deals emanating from the Oval Office countless times during the past year.
So glad you’re finally waking up, but it certainly took you a while to wipe the “Obama Fairy Dust” from your eyes.
From Politico, Arnold Schwarzenegger: ‘Bribes’ infect health reform:
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger savaged congressional plans for health reform in his 2010 State of the State address on Wednesday, calling the legislation “health care to nowhere” that’s infected with “bribes, deals and loopholes.”
With the nation’s largest state enduring a fiscal crisis, Schwarzenegger said California’s lawmakers should vote against the bill or push to get the Medicaid subsidies that were written into the Senate bill in order to secure Sen. Ben Nelson (D-Neb.) as the 60th and passing vote for that chamber’s version of reform. The deal has been attacked as the “Cornhusker Kickback.”
“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,” Schwarzenegger said before a joint session of the California State Legislature.
“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.“
Pardon my bit of confusion as I read between the lines here: is Schwarzenegger upset about the sweetheart deals and bribes using taxpayer money to secure votes for ObamaCare because they’re wrong and bad for America, or are they wrong and bad because California didn’t get a piece of the yummy bribery goodies that are being lapped up by Sen. Ben Nelson and other senators?
Not sure which road, the high or the low road, the Governator is trying to take. Maybe it’s both.
Arnie started off nobly enough in his outcry, then tailspun into the very same political greedy pig trough he’s slamming.

The RINOnator is a sleazy self-serving “I can’t get reelected if Californians are saddled with the ObamaCare Tax Hikes and higher fees with less than net zero return and they will blame me.”
He sounds like the rest of the Leftists whining about the bill…
Well… Reid, Pelosi, and Obama are taking the country over the cliff and they will let nothing stop them… all we can do is react after the fact and set the stage now that this POS is against the wishes of We the People.
