New Comic Book: Arnold Schwarzenegger For President

August 27th, 2010 2:18 PM

A new comic book launched this month presages California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger's rise to the White House:

Is he the embodiment of the American dream? Or is he simply a man lucky enough to be in the right place at the right time? That's the question Bluewater Productions tackles in its newest biography comic, Political Power: Arnold Schwarzenegger.

As Patrick Gavin writes in Friday's Politico, the authors have his ascendancy all figured out including a change to the Constitution to make it happen:

The panels continue: "It's an uphill battle. The Constitution is clear: 'No person except a natural born citizen or a citizen of the United States, at the time of the adoption of this constitution, shall be eligible to the office of president...'" (Schwarzenegger was born in Austria.)

"He was born in the wrong place, or at the wrong time ..." the comic book reads. "But the beauty of the Constitution is that it can be changed. And traditionally, it has changed to make us a freer society, bound less and less to the circumstances of our birth. Arnold surely knows this. He's counting on it."

As someone that has watched the Governator go from a reasoned conservative to a Republican In Name Only, let me say unequivocally that America should hope this never happens. 

After all, the overwhelming majority of Caleefornians can't wait until January to say, "Hasta la vista, baby!"
