BobbyRutan says:

More: Now he is a public figure, the lines between private enjoyment and business conducted on behalf of taxpayers have become somewhat blurred.

Mr Schwarzenegger recently hosted a fundraiser that netted close to half-a-million dollars for the foundation – a possible conflict of interest as he is the foundation's chief beneficiary.

I'm a Republican. Do as I preach not as I do.

  California's movie star turned governor, Arnold Schwarzenegger, came under 
  fire yesterday for failing to disclose the full costs of lavish trips to 
  Japan, China, Canada, Mexico and various European destinations, allowing a 
  non-profit foundation for which he is a major fundraiser to pick up bills 
  running into millions of dollars</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article3241939.ece">
  Several public watchdog bodies said the failure to keep strict written 
  records of every expense and make them available to the public constituted a 
  series of ethical lapses that appeared to violate California's laws on open 
  government and contradicted Mr Schwarzenegger's advocacy of subjecting 
  public officials to the "antiseptic of sunshine"</blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://news.independent.co.uk/world/americas/article3241939.ece"> His travel expenses have
