The stories are out again suggesting that the Governator will run against incumbent United States Senator Barabara Boxer in 2010.

The Chronicle points out that the Terminator turned governor has been tactful in his political allegiances. He campaigned for Sen. John McCain during the 2008 campaign and showed up last week with President Obama at a White House meeting on infrastructure.

The article points out his ambitious campaigning across the state for his new budget plan and notes that lately the governor has softened his tone on a political future.

“I have my hands full with all the stuff I’m doing now,” Schwarzenegger said earlier this month. “I’m concentrating on that and not what I’m going to do next,” he told the Chronicle reporter.

“You know,” he apparently added, “I’m not a politician. I’m a public servant.”

He and wife Maria Shriver are not strangers to Washington’s power circles.

Saturday night, Schwarzenegger brought down the house during his Republican “response” at Washington Gridiron Dinner. He laughed at the journalists’ apparent dumping by the president, who declined the invitationt to attend.

“You did such lovely work for [Obama],” the governor told Washington’s media elite. “You put your lives on hold to put him in the White House. Now you get all dressed up, the champagne’s on ice, and you find out he’s just not that into you,” he joked, according to the Washington Post.

But, Arnold is warring with the California GOP, has poor approval ratings as Governor in the latest polls and would have to run against a long-time incumbent U.S. Senator Barbara Boxer, who has plenty of campaign cash.

Don’t look for Arnold to involve himself with a partisan primary election in which he will face another self-funded millionaire, Carly Fiorina and/or California Assemblyman Chuck DeVore who has gained the endorsements of most all of the elected members of the California GOP. More likely, Arnold will be appointed to some Obama Administration position or simply go back to Hollywood and make some movies.

The honeymoon is indeed over for President Obama.

The honeymoon is over, a national poll will signal today as President Obama’s job approval stumbles to about 50 percent over the lack of improvement with the crippled economy.

The sobering numbers come as the president backpedals from two prime-time gaffes – one comparing his bowling score to a Special Olympian and another awkwardly laughing about the economy, which prompted Steve Kroft of “60 Minutes” to ask “are you punch-drunk?”

Pollster John Zogby said his poll out today will show Americans split on the president’s performance. He said the score factors out to “about 50-50.”

The fact is American voters have been less than impressed with Obama’s performance to date. He was elected with the mantra of “HOPE AND CHANGE” and there has been little except the same ol’ tax and spend Washington Democrat politics.

But, Obama’s response to the poor economy has not meet the expectations of the public. Smiling and joking on The Tonight Show with Jay Leno is not the appropriate conduct for their President.

It is time for Obama to end his campaign and begin the governing part – if Obama knows how?

The whole idea of Al Gore affecting any change in American habits becausee of his view of global warming is ridiculous. Between Gore and Arnold Schwarzenegger expending all of that jet fuel as they travel the world and then preach to the mere peasants about hybrid automobiles and carbon credits the global warming silliness becomes self-sustaining.

Now, tell Flap what measures are China and India taking to combat global warming in their developing industrial countries? How about Russia or Iran?
