Arnie speaks

These are the excerpts of Arnold Schwarzenegger’s speeches:
• Ladies and gentlemen, America is back!
• Join me in restoring the trust of the people and join me in introducing
a bold new era
• To think that a once scrawny boy from Austria could grow up to become
governor of California and stand in Madison Square Garden to speak
on behalf of the president of the United States. That is an immigrant’s
dream. It is the American dream.
• Hasta la Vista ... baby.
• I campaigned that I will not raise taxes, and I say this again: I will
not raise taxes.
• I was born in Europe ...and I’ve traveled all over the world. I can
tell you that there is no place, no country, more compassionate, more
generous, more accepting and more welcoming than the United States
of America.
• Everything I have – my career, my success, my family – I owe to
America.
• I will do everything I can to live up to that trust. I will not fail you. I
will not disappoint you. And I will not let you down.
• It’s the most difficult decision I’ve made in my entire life, except the
one I made in 1978 when I decided to get a bikini wax.
• I say to you, political courage is not political suicide.
• Well, again, one of the things that has always been my strength is to
keep my eye on the ball.
• We know the science. We see the threat, and we know the time for
action is now.
• Now they say India and China are overtaking us. Don’t you believe it!
We may hit a few bumps – but America always moves ahead! That’s
what Americans do!
• This is like winning an Oscar! ...As if I would know!
