ok apart from the fact he's not american but then that didn't stop people talking about Arnold running for president. Bush could give support and Bill was his best friend and they love him in the states. He's had previous experience running a country....

Just a bit of hypothetical fun.... Some how I don't think his policies would go down well. He'd set up a national health service, free health care for all but high taxes which wouldn't go down too well. He would also say he would have taken the Us into Iraq well because he already did it with Britain...

I believe Arnold is a citizen; he just wasn't born here. Blair is not a citizen.

Even ignoring the fact he's not american he's a committed socialist. That means death in US elections. People simply will not pay high taxes to fund public services like they will in Europe, and THAT is what Blair is good at. Besides he's had his fill and he can retire safe in the knowledge he's got a good 15-20 years ahead of him lecturing and writing books etc.

he's not community-born American, hence unquilified to run under the form. And Cherie is making too plenty money; she could no longer make that style of $$ as a US criminal expert. i became into in the severe court in London the day previous to this to hearken to her argue a case. She'd already gained on the advantages; now she became into arguing over her expenses to be paid by potential of the dropping social gathering.

Tony Blair has confirmed his decision to quit as Labour leader and stand down as Prime Minister after 10 years in office.
ADVERTISEMENT
He told supporters at Trimdon Labour Club in his Sedgefield constituency: "Ten years is enough for me - and the country."
He added: "I ask you to accept one thing: hand on heart, I did what I thought was right."
He said he would leave Downing Street on June 27 after a new leader has been chosen.
"Ten years - I think that's long enough for me but also for the country," he said.
Referring to Iraq, he said: "I may have been wrong, that's your call.
"Believe one thing: if nothing else, I did what I thought was right for our country."
He said he entered office with "high hopes, and I leave it with high hopes for the future."
He went on: "I've been very lucky and very blessed and this country is a blessed nation.
"The british are special. The world knows it, we know it - this is the greatest nation on earth."
Mr Blair's statement ended months of speculation about the timetable for his exit from power.
He flew to the North East with his wife Cherie after spelling out his departure plans to Cabinet colleagues.
His likely successor, Chancellor Gordon Brown, was said to have paid a "fulsome" tribute to him at the meeting in No 10.
Mr Blair's resignation will trigger a leadership contest which Mr Brown is odds-on favourite to win.
It will take around seven weeks to complete the process. Mr Blair will remain as PM and Labour leader in the meantime.
He has already indicated he will continue at Westminster as a backbench MP.
In the Commons yesterday Mr Blair vowed to remain focused on the job of running the country until he steps aside.
His official spokesman said he would be concentrating particularly on health and education and the forthcoming G8 and EU summits.

the talk from Arnold was just Media hype, good luck getting congress to ratify an amendment to the Constitution saying anyone born anywhere can be US president.

In his resignation speech he said invading Iraq was a MISTAKE and tried to assuage his guilt by stating he wanted to be an ally to the U.S., kind of like follow the moron.

I guarantee you he's probably done with politics. Its tough being the leader of any country for 10 years.
