    Schwarzenegger hires Warren Buffett as senior financial and economic adviser

    2nd richest man in the world as your financial advisor is pretty sweet...



    http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmp...negger_buffett

    Arnold Schwarzenegger has hired Warren Buffett as his senior financial and economic adviser in his bid to replace Gray Davis if the governor loses the recall vote, the Republican actor's campaign announced Wednesday.


    Buffett, chairman of Berkshire Hathaway, is a billionaire investor legendary for his financial prowess. He is also a Democrat.


    "What he will be doing is assembling other prominent business leaders and economists and setting up a team to address the issues facing California," said Schwarzenegger spokesman Sean Walsh.


    Buffett said in a statement: "I have known Arnold for years and know he'll be a great governor. It is critical to the rest of the nation that California's economic crisis be solved, and I think Arnold will get that job done."


    By buying at low prices into well-known, solid companies, Buffett built Omaha, Neb.-based Berkshire Hathaway into a huge conglomerate. In his investments, he generally avoids high-tech companies, arguing he cannot tell which will be usurped by advances in technology.


    Schwarzenegger is among scores of candidates vying to replace Davis if the governor loses an Oct. 7 special recall election.

          "oh boy here we go" what?

          When has Arnie ever been known to do anything half-assed, or leave something half-done for that matter?
          Answer: never


          Not surprised at all that he would want the best people in his corner.

            Nice move. Maybe the government in general should start hiring some of these money masters for other debt issues? Or maybe they already do, haha...

              Arnold would make the best governor.

              He brought Bodybuilding out of the gyms and to the people of the world.

              His movies are usually do fantastically well.

              He is married to a kennedy.

              Arnold does it all 100% of the way, no half stepping here.

              Id love to see him as president.

                    Want him sure, but to get the most powerful man in American business on your team is very, very impressive. Until now I would've laughed off Arnold as a voter, but now I'd seriously consider him.

                              So lets recap here....

                              Arnold is socially liberal but economically conservative, thats why he joined the republican party... but then hire a democrate as his financial and economic advisor !??

                              Oh man...

                                When I read where Buffet endorsed him, and that Buffet was the advisor...damn. It does change my view a little.

                                    Ever watch the movie Demolition Man, with Sylvester Stallone & Sandra Bullock?

                                    In one scene, Sandra referrs to the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library...

                                    Stallone: "Hold it! The Schwarzenegger Library?"
                                    Bullock: "Yes, the Schwarzenegger Presidential Library. Wasn't he an actor?"
                                    Stallone: "Stop! He was President?"
                                    Bullock: "Yes. Even though he was not born in this country, his popularity at the time caused the 61st Amendment?"

                                      This will make him somewhat unpopular with the Republican conservatives.

                                          We'll see about that won't we? A man of Arnold's presence and stature can do much, and any stupid motherfucker that get's in his way will be terminated good.


                                          He's going to make a fine governor. :D

                                            I have alot of respect of Buffet. And we all know Arnold would only be a figurehead anyway.

                                            Starting to look good for old arnie.

                                              Nothing the govenor can do, no matter whom it is. Just how CA is set up.

                                              Hell look at our lottery system, go ahead someone post how much money since it was started has gone to schools? It was started for schools afterall. Cmon I dare ya.

                                              Then find out how much of that, that went to schools went to the administration and did not trickle down to the classrooms.

                                                      That was a great move for Arnold. Probably one of the best moves he could have made. The next will be for him to include a prominant Jewish person to be Lt. Gov.
