Governor of California Arnold Schwarzenegger mocks Obama on his physical appearance at a campaign rally for McCain.

Schwarzenegger who we all know was once a Mr. Universe and starred in action films such as The Terminator turned politics to a comparison of physique in Ohio.
Seems like a lot of personal attacks has been taking place this time around with Governor Schwarzenegger now telling Obama to "beef up his policies - and his body"
He went on to say "That's why I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something about those skinny legs. I'm going to make him do some squats."
- "And then we're going to make him do some biceps curls to beef up those scrawny little arms. But if he could only do something about putting some meat on his ideas."

Muscleman-turned-actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger called on Barack Obama to beef up his his policies -- and his body -- at a high-voltage campaign rally for Republican John McCain Friday.

This is the first year I have been following the election closely - maybe partly because of NowPublic, but I guess like they say, its probably the most important election of our generation.

Nonetheless, only a few days left till the election, both sides are doing anything they can to get that extra vote. I'm just not too sure by making fun of Obama and his appearance will sway the votes towards McCain.

with the current perception about US in the rest of the world, the grim economic situation in the US - the opinion of the rest of the world is importnat to US like never before. I am sure the think-tanks and all those at the background "who run the show" know this. Winning for Obama is more important for US to survive interenationally then domestically. I think Obama will be made to win naturally or otherwise.

Arnold need to spend more time at the gym and less time critizing the Dems. He needs them (Dems) in California to get anything passed. He found out what his calling the State Reps. "girliemen" got him. I thought he learned his lesson. Oh yeah he has been in and out of the hospital a lot since becoming Govenor. Can't wait till he is gone.

I think Chris Bartle's comments should be banned. Talk about racism and violence! Why are you allowing his comments to stand? It is shameful!

I agree. Chris Bartle should be banned from further response. Is there no moderator?

We cannot ban an anon commenter as they don't have an account on our site, but I have removed the offending comment. I agree it completely violated our code of conduct.

Thanks for bringing it to our attention.

If "Big Arnie" has nothing better to say than personal comments he should have stayed home at Austria. Unfortunately he went to USA but that was the only place he had any kind of political future.

By the way, how do they elect president in USA?

Answer : First they vote, and then they choose the man who got less votes.
