California disses Iowa…what say you Hawkeyes?
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says Florida is "for the old people" and that no one wants to take a vacation in Iowa.
The Republican governor and former bodybuilder told a Silicon Valley conference on infrastructure that in comparison, his state has a reputation as a destination.
"No matter where you go in the world, people still want to come to California," Schwarzenegger said. "There's no one screaming like, 'I can't wait to get to Iowa.' That I can guarantee you. They want to come here to California."
He also said that California's economic diversity can be seen in Hollywood, technology startups, tourism and agriculture, whereas many states are noted for just one attribute.
"Like one state is known for its potatoes; one state is known for its oil," Schwarzenegger said at the Next American Economy conference, which was hosted by The Brookings Institution Metropolitan Policy Program and Lazard investment bank. "And another state like Florida is known for the old people."

OMG! Why does Arnold have to dis my most favorite state ever? I'm justified by this. It stinks that one of my coolest bands are from Iowa! He's just jealous that Iowa doesn't have to deal with problems like drought & earthquakes.
I want to be strong like that some day. so i can lift wate,s. and i want to real resale people in real life.
There are things to do here too, sure maybe they aren't as cool as movie stars, but you don't have to be famous to be interesting and fun to be around.Go IOWA HAWKEYES. I hat the cyclones.
Iowa would be a better football team if the wide receiver don't sell or do drugs I'm praying for you Darrell Johnson-koulianos that your attorney is a good attorney and doesn't cost you your football career because I've heard you want to be in the NFL
If maybe I took seventeen shots of steroids a day maybe I would be like him. I actually heard that when he looked like that he could not life his arms over his shoulders because all the muscles would not let him. So I you don't want to be able too reach the top shelf of your shelve be my guest. He does not even look like that anymore he lost almost all of his muscles.
He is buff. I think I will be buff like him. I work out every day and I want to be buff like him. I will play tackle football.
Iowa is a lot better then California its a lot safer because there are not hurricanes, mudslides and robberies.
