The people elected Schwarzeneggar to improve California. He took the job with the State being in at a level of overspending, inadequate funding, increased taxation - an overall pretty bad political environment. He had big ideas of change. Either the people believed in his ideas and a plan to get the State back on tract and out of the hands of politicians.

Schwazenegger, like anyone else, can only act out his plan with the appropriate tools. He placed several propositions in a special election asking the people provide him the tools necessary to get the job done. After all, you wouldn't take you car to a mechanic and expect him to use only a hammer and screwdriver to overhal the engine. Nonethelss, the people refused to provide the gov with the tools he requested.

I see little hope now the Governors plan to get the State back on tract. The people have denied him the tools he needs to impliment the changes he promised. The people still expect him to live up to his promises.

It seems that the majority of Californians want the politics of California changed but want to see these changes overnight and without any impact to the bloated spending and corupt politicians. Can these two polar opposites co-exist?

Arnie will now be blamed, and is being blamed, for the failure to live up to his promises. Can we really blame him or do we blame the people of Calfiornia for wanting change and their refusal to support the governor while he is in office? Providing little support does nothing. If it didn't work out, then get a new governor in the next election.
