Uhm...what is the normal course of action when there is a natural disaster or terrorist action in a state? This huge fire is an act of domestic terrorism based on what the media says (that from both liberal and balanced TV media outlets).
Why try to make Arnold look bad because there is an act of terrorism (or natural disaster) in his state? The same thing would have happened in the other 49 states had they been similarly affected.
Then again that is the typical MO for the liberal media and for the author of this thread... They twist reality to fit their political desires when there is nothing out of the ordinary. Not to mention, I could name a boatload of Democratic governors who have done the same in the past century. Why try to make Arnold look like a bad guy for doing what is right and what has been done hundreds of times?!?
The nerve...!

| Of course the fires are a special, additional burden; as he says, he would have been asking anyway.

And let me guess your trying to say that YOUR state doesnt ask for federal moneys? Every state I know of asks for AND receives federal money....I'm "guessing" (Yes I said guess and Unless you are that person thats all "we" are capable of doing  ) that he is wanting to make sure that CA is getting their full share of the federal dollars...

Actually, Mntsnow, my "state" doesn't have any voting representation in Congress, and that's a damn sore point, since it's also the nation's capital.

Seeing as California only gets backs 77 cents for every dollar in federal tax dollar leaving the state, they seem to have a reasonable claim that they are not getting their monies worth out of the federal government. If I was the governor of California I would be asking for an explaination.

Actually, I don't deny that California's getting shafted on Federal money. Here's a piece from Kevin Drum (Calpundit) that lays it out.
The point is, if California had been getting its fair share all along, Grey Davis would look like Superman and Arnold would be filming Terminator 4.
And if Arnold gets California's fair share now, with the enormous deficits the US is already running, it'll be simply a political payoff: either it's going to come from some other "blue" state, or it'll run the deficit up even further.
