Schwarzenegger: I'd be Obama energy czar By MIKE ALLEN | 7/13/08 10:23 AM EST
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in an interview aired Sunday that he would be open to the idea of serving as energy czar in a Barack Obama administration.
Regardless of whether he takes that particular job, Schwarzenegger, a Republican, added on ABC’s “This Week” that he’s now committed to continuing public service even after he leaves Sacramento.
Schwarzenegger endorsed John McCain at the end of January, and McCain has appeared with “the Governator” to praise his efforts to deal with climate change.
A Schwarzenegger appointment would add even more star power to a hypothetical Obama administration, and would allow Obama to make an appointment from across the aisle that would not upset his core supporters.
When George Stephanopoulous asked Schwarzenegger about the idea on “This Week,” the governor replied that he doesn’t "think about taking on a national role.”

Now isn’t this special. He might as well tell everyone his endorsement is crap.
I am so tired of these fools. Secession is sounding better by the minute.
Good God! This crazy man wants to go out and take a job where he can apply his rock star status towards the good of the American people, regardless of which party is in control. Get a rope!
When does he plan to start?
This from a guy who can’t figure out how to buy enough fire trucks.
NO! An all out physical revolution & force them to move.
This liberal RINO needs to STFU and go back to join his left-wing, euroweenie brethren in any one of their socialist hell-holes he would feel most at home in.
Our View: Without immigrants, California's population would have held steady
In other words, citizens are bugging out.
Way to go, Ahnold!
The Kennedyinazation of the “Jerkenator” is now complete.
"I respect mah good friend Governor Schwarzenegger's views on environmental issues and wish him the best at his new job in the Obama Administration".- John McCain
Loser moderate/rino's prepare for the industrial strength can of Conservative whoopass which is about to be opened up on your slimey, socialistic liberal embrasing gray souls!
Being a registered Republican is a waste of time anymore. The Republican Party is just another shade of Democrat Party. Planning to switch to Independent.
The Governator said, “When he becomes President (re:Obama)”, not “if”.
Ah. Arnie's been smokin' again.
Why is it that so many "Republicans" that get the press, including our President and putative nominee for President, so continuously try to out democrat the Democrats? It's so frustrating it nearly makes you (me?) pull for a clean sweep by Democrats this November so we can rebuild the Party with real Republicans.
It's only a passing feeling. I'm Secretary at my BPOU, so will work through to the election. It's just hard to get enthusiastic these days.
You got that right!
I wonder if Caroline's pillow talk involved Sodium Penathol?
He hoping to be the big hero of the energy crisis and thereby gain enough popularity to get the constitution changed so he can run for president.
But he doesn't have enough cerebral wattage to take on any important cabinet level position.
exactly right. These fires have been burning for weeks and weeks. This this is what happens when the state is out of money or spending on nonsense. You get fires that burn forever.
The Head TWirPinator was on with George Goofynopoulus.
THis gaseous windbag is all about reaching across the aisle, crossing the center line, he as much admits he had to lie to get elected as a Republican in California and get indy and em votes, and then once elected, grabbed hold of a long-time dem issue, the environment, and sees no problem with doing so.
No agenda there, well, not a conservative one, obviously.
I hope he does end up in an Obama administration if Obama wins. It would get him the hell out of California . There is much more damage for him to do here,, until he signs off on raising taxes later this summer.
Let Obama feed the Trojan Horse , California can’t afford him.
Has that ever been proven? /s
I have yet to hear Sean Hannity admit what a mistake it ever was to support the groper.
He can’t. Cabinet secretaries are in the succession for the presidency if all the other top administation officials die in some catastrophe. Arnold cannot serve as president as he was born in Austria.
Personally, I can't stand the guy. But if you think he's dumb I would recommend you watch "Pumping Iron". Arnold thinks like a chess player.
What does Arnold know about energy?
That’s false. People ineligible for the office of President can serve as cabinet secretaries. Think Madeline Albright.
Isn’t the adoption of “global warming” into government policy an abridge to separation of church and state?
No, no. You zee, vee vill put da steeroids in da reactoahs, ya. Den zey vill produuuce morah enagee, ya. Unt dat vill zolve da enagee griziz, ya.
“Across the aisle”??? For crying out loud, their sitting next to each other in the same pew. In fact, he is so close to the Dems, Schwarzenegger is sitting on their laps
This guy commutes to work in a Jet?
Hmmm, not sure where to go with this one.
First of all, Arnold is a pretty bright fellow. He may be using his power for some things we don't agree with right now, but that doesn't make him a dummy.
Secondly, you are comparing him to other secretaries, not other Einsteins :-)
The governator has gone completely insane.
Schwarzenegger in an Obama admin?
Two liberals working together. A good fit.
I was kind of hoping that robot guy that was gunning for him in “The Turdminator” would have been successful.
“California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in an interview aired Sunday that he would be open to the idea of serving as energy czar in a Barack Obama administration.”
Now, if we tranlate the Gov’s remarks into english he said:
“I’m Arnold Kennedy-Schiver Schwarzenliberal and I’m still an idiot!”
He’d be a great energy czar. Remember the Jerkinator “Hydrogen Highway?” This genius supported a proposal that is not even technically feasible yet. His idea for solving the energy crisis is to just wait for that Star Trek engine that gets 125 miles on a single cup of air. Its right around the corner, don’t you know. He’d make a great energy czar for Obama, since they both buy into the same nonsense. In the meantime, we will all have to eat rice and beans. I guess that’s how the Hydrogen Highway will be fueled, if y’all get my drift.
“go back to his field of expertise...making movies.”
Oh HE11 NO! The only reason he got re-elected was to stop him from going back to making movies.
Energy czar?
How about energy nazi?
That would be a better description.
He reminds me of Obama: say anything, do anything to get/keep power; no principles
Since it seems like he has given up on getting anything of real importance thru the Calif. legislature, and the shellacking he took a few years ago in the propositions - the only thing left where he can do anything - for good or ill - is environmental issues. Too bad.
I feel as useless as an Illinois Republican. Wait! I AM an Illinois Republican! Why can't we replace Little Dick Turban? Because of a failure of leadership and a blend of the two parties known in Springfield as "The Combine" - an organization that simply protects all who are there rather than getting the work done for the citizens of Illinois. This is the same party that gave us the Alan Keyes circus when Barry walked away in a cakewalk.
I wish Arnold would just call himself an Independent or go ahead and admit he’s a Democrat or even a Green so we’re not eternally embarrassed seeing the R after his name every time he opens his mouth and proves he’s a leftist.
Across what aisle?
I’d rather he prove himself disastrous in Hollywood than in Sacramento or DC. Whether or not he is good in a movie only matters to those who buy a ticket or have an investment of some kind in the industry. All of us have an interest in what happens in the government of CA or God forbid he gets there...DC.
And he can share his knowledge of the energy needed to propel his Chrysler 300 at 90mph on I5.
His hypocrisy doesn't end there. I read a report that he wanted to buy a private jet, but he didn't want to pay the state sales tax, so instead, he bought the whole company that owned the jet to avoid the sales tax.
The taxinator thinks taxes are for only for us little people.
