Reporting from Sacramento -- Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger spoke to President-elect Barack Obama this week and would be willing to work for the Democratic administration once his term expires if asked, the Republican governor said in an interview broadcast this morning.

"I will help in every possible way the administration to be successful," he told Fox News. "So whatever they need, I'm there."

Latest news: Governor Arnold...L.A. Now: Arnold might go to Washington for Obama The only qualification, Schwarzenegger said, would be permission from his wife, Maria Shriver.

"Before I make any move, the next move that I make, I'm going to go to Maria and say, 'Maria, you tell me what to do,' " Schwarzenegger told Brian Kilmeade in the interview, which was taped Wednesday.

Shriver is a Democrat who backed Obama for president.

Schwarzenegger spokesman Matt David said the conversation took place Sunday, and that Obama had called the governor. Schwarzenegger had previously called Obama after the election to congratulate him but did not get through.

So ... AHHHnold wants to get OUT OF TOWN before the S*** HITS the FAN??

“Shriver is a Democrat who backed Obama for president.”

Shriver is an idiot like the rest of the Kennedy’s for supporting a man who is a puppet for a man who dedicates his own book to their family member’s murderer.

"Before I make any move, the next move that I make, I'm going to go to Maria and say, 'Maria, you tell me what to do,' " Schwarzenegger told Brian Kilmeade in the interview

Go run for senate Ahnold. The Democrats should be very unpopular by 2010 and you could be able to pick up this senate seat.

Then again you will probably have raised taxes a couple of times by then so maybe not ...

A detroit radio station called the Kenyan embassy after the election of Obama. After a lot of trouble they get through to the ambassador of Kenya.

The ambassador of Kenya says that obama was born in Kenya and that his birth place has become a national shrine.

Be sure to download the recording as well. The chances of it remaining online for long are remote.


The Arnold would have run for president long ago and likely won if he were a "natural born" american. He's not. He's naturalized. So he can't run. And he knows it. (though there were some trial balloons sent up a couple years back about changing the law.)

Like the Arnold, Obama looks to be a naturalized citizen.
