Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger on Wednesday said Democrat Barack Obama's victory in the presidential race is an "extraordinary accomplishment" that will be great for the country.

The Republican governor congratulated Obama, a Democrat, for his historic win and urged Americans of all political stripes to get behind him.

"We are ready as a state to do everything that we can to work with the White House and with his administration," Schwarzenegger said during a news conference in favor of a redistricting measure he championed on Tuesday's ballot. The vote on the initiative remained too close to call.

Schwarzenegger has left open the possibility that he might work with Obama in some capacity, perhaps in a role related to energy issues. He said Wednesday that he was looking forward to working with Obama as governor, but had no plans to leave before his term expires after 2010.

Well, it is, I gotta admit. Whatever else it is (i.e. nothing good), it IS extraordinary.

Didn’t Arnold recently say he left Germany because of what socialism did to the job opportunities there, while saying that a BO presidency would bring the same results to the US?!! Yes, he did!

Schwarzenegger and 0bama may be distantly related. Arnold’s last name(according to him), translated, means “The Black Plowman.”

Much as I despise Obamas political views and ideas, his winning the election is extraordinary. I can`t think of any other country where a member of a once oppressed (brutally oppressed) minority has won the highest office in the land.

I, too, think Obama's win was "extraordinary." Extraordinarily bad. I put my predictions in writing, the morning after the election, See below.

I’ll get behind him after I lace up my steel toed boots.

I am sick to death of the idea that just because someone of dark skin won the election (and how many votes he really won by, we will never know) it’s somehow a great thing.

It means nothing. It means a whole bunch of people are either evil, or stupid, or both. That’s nothing to celebrate.

I wonder if Ah-nold voted for him?

[Prole]

Idi Amin had dark skin.

Don't be mean to Arnie...

Facts make his head hurt.

And the Schwarze is German for "black" . Not the "n...." part.

Just clarifing, that all. :-)

We have come a long way from a President who had once publicly stated that he was "in favor of having the superior position assigned to the white race".
