May 27 (LPAC)--In his interview with The LaRouche Show May 26, in a response to a question about the political gyrations of California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, said that the U.S., as well as Europe west of Belarus, is now in a state of "political ungovernability."

"You find the situation is such, that politicians, when they're trying to make themselves impressive, to get votes, or to get backing, they turn themselves into silly fools, because they don't have any coherence; they're just puppets on a string. You have to have an understanding that the United States now, the political class in the United States, the elected political class, represents a nation, the United States, in a state of political ungovernability.

"There's nothing so far, in recent years, especially since the last Presidential election, there's nothing has happened which shows that the United States political system is capable of governing itself on any important issue. And what you're seeing with Schwarzenegger, for example, you're seeing a man who went in with a big bag of wind and bluster, and he is now down to whimpering, as a campaign strategy.

"And the problem is, the United States essentially is, internally and politically, the U.S. system is essentially ungovernable. The houses of Congress, the White House apparatus is disintegrating--a very dangerous situation. And that's what our problem is, and that's what I'm trying to address."
