the self described 'socialist' was staying in 3500$ a night hotels and loved his Ferrari! Lol, boy......socialism sure has changed Bwahahaha. He even tried to claim diplomatic immunity as he tried to run back to Paris.
Given the general attitude of callousness with which the IMF does its business, I find it all too easy to believe that this is something of a regular occurrence, the unusual part is that he got called out in it this time.
Cheers for the hotel maid who wasn't going to take that shit.
he probally got what he deserved for being accused of rape or attacking a maid whatever he did its not right but i feel like he got way to much attention on tv and kinda feeled sad for him for not being able to bail out earyler hes from france so he probaly would of surrenderd easily but i uno....
also he looks like a old man so pretty sure the maid could of beat him up i dont think it should of been so seriouse
The real reason is he refused to fund a bankrupt US.

On Monday evening, May 16, 2011 the Obama government reached and crashed through the $14.29 trillion debt ceiling. What is the debt ceiling? The debt ceiling is simply a cap on how much money the US federal government can owe. For instance, if the debt ceiling was set at $14.29 trillion, then the US government would be forbidden from incurring a total public debt load of over $14.29 trillion. This $14.29 trillion number includes both public debt (money that is owed to individual investors, foreign governments, pension funds, etc) and intragovernmental holdings (money that is owed to various government programs).
On the weekend (May 14 and 15, 2011) prior to this historic event the US government and the IMF chief were engaged in behind closed doors negotiations for an IMF financial bailout of the US government. IMF chief Dominique Strauss-Kahn, a French citizen and political opponent of French president Nicolas Sarkozy for the French presidency, was in the US for this meeting. The Obama government failed to secure funds from the IMF chief. In retaliation the US government immediately launched a pre-planned smear campaign against the IMF â?? IMF head Dominique Strauss-Kahn.

The US government is as of Monday May 16, 2011 bankrupt. The IMF was the US governmentâ??s last hope. Countries contribute to an IMF controlled pool which could be borrowed from, on a temporary basis, by countries with payment imbalances. As of June 2009, the International Monetary Fund held 3,217 tonnes (103.4 million oz.) of gold. In the past the IMF offered loans with varying levels of conditionality â?? mainly to poorer countries. The IMF wasnâ??t formed to loan money to rich countries like the United States. On the weekend prior to Monday, May 16, 2011 (when the Obama government reached and crashed through the $14.29 trillion debt ceiling limit) the Obama government attempted but failed to negotiate an IMF loan. Why did IMF chief, Dominique Strauss-Kahn decline the US governmentâ??s loan request? A good banker wouldnâ??t loan any amount of money to any person, company or country who couldnâ??t repay it â?? especially when bankruptcy is inevitable. So to distract the American public from the historic event of May 16, 2011 â?? when the US government crashed through the debt ceiling limit of $14.29 trillion â?? the US government, with the support of Libyan war of aggression ally French president Nicolas Sarkozy, illegally seized IMF chief and French diplomat Dominique Strauss-Kahn on US soil and is holding him hostage until the IMF pays the US government a ransom for his release.

If that article is true then good. Seriously fuck the IMF. I also like how the article basically insinuates that it was the Obama administration that got us into so much debt, thats rich. :P
I wonder when we will stop putting all the blame on presidents and start realizing that most of the blame for america's problems lies with the american citizenry.
Sex offense is common practise for celebrities. Arnold Schwarzenegger did a lot of that things. He never has been prosecuted for that because he works for Feds. He was even selected to be California Governor.

After announcing his separation from wife Maria Shriver this week, a woman has alleged she was just one of many mistresses that shattered Arnold Schwarzeneggerâ??s 25-year marriage.
The 63-year-old Terminator actor denies an affair with Gigi Goyette, but the 52-year-old woman has said: â??There were so many other women. About 13 have come out of the woodwork.â??
She claims she met Schwarzenegger in 1975, when she was a 16-year-old child actress on Little House On The Prairie.
