The Governor of the Future?
Arnold Schwarzenegger wants to repeat, in California, the
exploit of other actor, Ronald Reagan
by
Osmar
Freitas Jr.
Even
before the recall result, the press already elected Schwarzenegger
as the new governor. For example, the Esquire cover titled: “The
next governor of California, in reality.” The publication invited
two reporters to draw the actor’s profile. The first, a woman,
revealed a self-centered, ridiculous person who judges himself a
plastic artist for painting dolphins in cigar boxes and creating
watches that, although very expensive, don’t work. A pretentious man
who dares to give advices about design to General Motors designers.
An interviewed person who can’t stop to promote himself, hindering
any other question. In the other part, Esquire publishes the
analysis of a reporter (man), in which Arnold appears as a strong
leader. In a meeting of the director committee of his entity
(National Inner-City Games Foundation), the actor exposes his brain
muscles, advising with wisdom, asking for more effort, giving
solutions to the abandoned youth problems. (…) “We need to have a
vision as John Kennedy brought to the Americans”, he says.
This is the civic leader Arnold.

But which will be the Schwarzenegger that
the Californians will elect? The political campaign already
started with several groups of interests painting the main
character with the colors that are more convenient. This is
expected. After all, when he was said for the first time to
launch himself in the political adventure, in 2001, the
democrats linked to Gray Davis showed a lot of ammunition
against him. They spread stories about conjugal infidelity and
steroids usage by the muscles champion. They were little
creative, since in the documentary called “Pumping iron” (1977),
when Arnold was just the Mr. Olympia, he said he smoked – and
swallowed – marijuana. Years later, in 1983, he went to Rio de
Janeiro as the host of the documentary called “Carnival in Rio”,
where it shows the carnival in this city. He tore his costume in
the middle of a group of naked women and, with one of them; he
tried to place a carrot between her butt cheeks. The movie is
still selling in some stores and it would serve as good
artillery for his opponent.
