Arnold Said I: Fact Check Finds No Evidence

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, an immigrant, Tuesday night addressed the Republican National Convention where he spoke of the greatness of America. Schwarzenegger, born in Austria, is a former actor and body builder. Here is a transcript of his remarks:

If I can see it and believe it, then I can achieve it.
