I enjoy your radio broadcasts and your website. It is nice to get news that has not been sanitised by our media.

About 30 years ago there was talk of a "Henry amendment" to the constitution.

It was the same issue: an influential naturalized citizen who some would have liked to see as president. Kissinger then, Schwarzenegger now.

Making a fundamental change to the constitution simply to make an exception for a popular personality would be an incredibly bad policy. It did not happen in the 70s, and it should not happen today.

I believe it would be a grave mistake to allow Arnold Schwarzenegger to become President of the US. In California our schools have suffered tremendously due to his budget cuts to education.

I do not think a person should be deemed as presidential material because of his movie star appeal nor the amount of his donation cheques.

God forbid he even be considered as a presidential candidate. While Mr Schwarzenegger may be likeable as a person, not all agree that he's pro-environment, pro-jobs, anti-poverty, and generally competent as a governor. I know many who view him as a sort of an oaf with no clear intelligence.

But the primary issue here is whether the American people will elect a foreign-born president, and I don't see that happening any time soon. Though Schwarzenegger may be likeable, he's still a wolf in sheep's clothing, like Bush, except not nearly as bad. He is still pro-business and doesn't show any real concern for the poor in this country.
