Yes. I see Schwarzenegger as a short-thinking speaker.
He wants to paint himself as for the people while he denigrates an idea of states attempting to give the people a voice but over a larger nationwide scale that he does not want to admit would be for the people. If he admitted that, he would have to rethink and restate his position.
He loves the progressive liberal idea of freeing slaves, but is short of thinking that freeing the slaves is a progressive liberal act.
