The Terminator and the "real" hero

John McCain has been spending a lot of time in the swings states due to their influence during election day. While making rounds in Ohio, the McCain campaign team is also placing emphasis on Pennsylvania. California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger gave a speech at a John McCain party in Columbus, Ohio. Schwarzenegger (also know n as the “Governator”) filled his speech with a mix of jokes with praise for the presidential candidate of the republican party. According to Foxnews.com, one of the more clever jokes Schwarzenegger told was regarding Halloween back in his home state of California. He said he had just gotten off the phone with his wife, Maria Shriver, and he had asked her what candy she was giving out to the trick-or-treaters. She replied candy, cookies, M&Ms and an apple. In response to variety of candy Shriver was given out, the California governor stated “Typical liberal give away.” As a former body builder, Schwarzenegger also poked fun of McCain’s opponent Barrack Obama suggesting he may need to do something to tone up his frail and skinny figure such as bicep curls or squats. After making smart comments dealing with Obama’s physique, Schwarzenegger then stated the McCain is “built like a rock.” One of the most excellent points that was made about McCain was the fact that he served longer in POW camp that Obama has served in the United States senate. In regards to Schwarzenegger’s past movie characters, he stated that in the past he has played superheroes but claims that Senator McCain is the “real” hero.
