Everyone appreciates that Schwarzenegger had a long, luxurious career as an action star, but no one's seen a real Predator in L.A. since the last time someone saw Danny Glover. Which makes it pretty disturbing to see the Governator brandishing a knife the size of his forearm in this video explaining budget cuts. Read more and check out the video after the jump.
Schwarzenegger posted the video on Twitter to thank the good citizens of California for having such great feedback and ideas. To punctuate his point, he has a knife big enough to cut the head off of a rhino. At his desk. At work.

Schwarzenegger told reporters the vid was just a "little bit of fun," but if we learned nothing else from Dick Cheney, it's that politicians brandishing weapons only leads to awkward press conferences and paramedics.

Arnold is operating at a 14 year old level. He is as dumb as a stump. People couldn't wait to recall "boring" Gray Davis and vote in a muscle-bound washed-up movie star. Well, you wanted him, and now you've got the government you deserve. California is in worse shape than Mississippi and all because we've got an aging body-builder (God Help us!) grievously mismanaging the State's finances and stubbornly refusing to do what's right. He is delusional. He thinks he's got a shot at the White House!

I have a Mosin Nagant (A gun so powerful it will cut through a SWAT truck from front to back, or pick-off a helicopter at 5,000 feet) but I don't brandish it. I don't have too. When I take it to the gun range to practice, you can here it from miles away. Why does Arnie have to brandish that knife ? Al.

Too bad he didn't use the knife to cut the head off of a NoBama doll.

Give me a Freaking break. All of you clowns out there have nothing better to do than to whine & cry about something like this. It's the people like yourselves that are running this country in the ground. "I don't like this,I don't like that". Why don't you people wake up & quit worrying about things like this that don't amount to a pile of beans & start being more concerned & doing something that will make a difference in this country. No I'm not Mr. perfect by any means,but I will say this,I certainly don't waste my time making waves over something as meaningless as this. GROW UP PEOPLE!!!

When Arnold has finished all the terms he can do in California can we get him as Governor here in North Carolina?

I don't think that weilding a knife like that is a big deal. It sure makes you think that he can cut the budget. I thought that he was doing a great job in CA. I guess alot of people think so too because they have voted for him.

Are you all stupid??!?!?!!! The knife he is holding is actually a sword from one of his movies, Conan the Barbarian. He keeps it in one of his offices for each time he signs a new bill, I think it's to keep the mood lighthearted amidst the heavy depressing HUGE debt that our state is in. He is a smart governor who knows what this state needs, government spending cuts. From his first day in office and even until now he has been saying "California does not have a revenue problem but a SPENDING problem!" He may not be the best because he is easily swayed by party politics and lobbyists but at least give him the credit of being governor in one of the biggest crisis this state as ever faced. Until you have been in his shoes and know what he deals with, keep your two-cents to yourself!. And remember, You voted him in!

Excuse me, isn't the real issue here, the fact that some California politicians are so worried about reelection that they are afraid to make the cuts needed to balance the budget? The people in Wisconsin and Maine are not going to pay for their lack of intestinal fortitude so they had better worry less about the antics of the soon to be former governor (term limits) and more about the task they have at hand.

Oh please, if I, an employee of the state of California brought a knife to work and brandished like that, I would have been escorted off the premises and at the very least, given an unpaid suspension. An Arnold would probably have made a commercial about how "overpaid state workers" can afford to buy such big knives. Guess what - compared with city and county employees who do my same job, I make less money, pay more for less benefits and have a smaller retirement. And to all the haters who make derogatory comments about state employees, if you think the job is so great, why don't you work here? I have had a total of a 9% payraise over the last ten years (we get no annual cost-of-living-increase) while paying more for my benefits while receiving less of them. I know make less than I did 10 years ago while Arnie is grandstanding with a knife playing a (non)action hero. Guess what? This isn't a movie, this is real life.

I don't know where you get your info from Jud, but I can't retire from the state at 40 & if I retire at 50, my pension is a whopping (taxable) $1200 month. And don't forget while I am paying into my Calpers retirement account, I am also paying into YOUR Social Security account.

Those people saying is no big deal, must not be from Cali and have their pay and hours cut by this idiot.
My brother is an enineer with the state of Cali and his pay got cut by a lot.
This is affecting hard working families,those of you who find a Gov making a joke about it funny, really are not living in and working in Cali.
Is easy to laugh when you're not affected.

Arnold is not politician, not is he an actor... he's a script reader, and a bad one at that... he changes his politics based on who is writing his script... When his wife Maria writes the script, he's all about Green Energy, and Gay Rights... but when Karl Rove and Grover Norquist are writing his scripts, he demands $70 million dollar special elections for extreme rightwing ballot propositions that crash and burn (and promises that he has learned his lesson afterwards), guts schools and healthcare, and refuses to sign bills that will raise taxes on the rich even 1 cent...

Ok, I've never commented on any of this stuff but this time I have to. first of all its a jumbo replica of a pocket knife thats probably an oddball paperweight, I mean look at the handle! LOL! Another thing he's got that goofy european sense of humor, my father was off the boat and everything he thought was funny was just retarded, but we loved him anyway. Well thats how Arnie is. (unless you live in cali! lol)
