Q. The Governor of California has refused demands that he retract his description of Democratic legislative budgetary obstructionists as, in his words, “girlie men.” And my first question: The President continues — fully supportive of Republican National Convention principal speaker Schwarzenegger, doesn’t he?

MR. McCLELLAN: Does he support him? Yes, he supports Governor Schwarzenegger.
Q. Good. Then my second question –
