Arnold Schwarzenegger willing to work for Barack Obama's administration
LA Times ^ | 11/21/08 | Michael Rothfeld

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.

It just confirms my gut feeling that a RINO is actually worse than a democrat. At least the ‘rat isn’t a traitor.

Where are all the BOZO FreeRepublic posters who spent so much time telling us that Arnold was a better choice over Tom McClintock?

Those who didn't commit suicide by moderator last year apparently lack the character to come back and admit they were WRONG.

But what could he do? There isn’t any substance to the guy. He’s a media creation and nothing else. Arnold would have a tough time running a convenience store. He could run any type of small business. I saw where he would like the job of Secretary Of Energy. What a joke. He doesn’t know the difference between hydrogen and natural gas, how could he run an Energy Department. I just wish Arnold would go away.

Why did I listen to that? The talk hosts sort of tricked the Ambassador by asking if Obama’s birth place had become a monument, and the Ambassador was answering that his grandmother was still alive, and “it” was already a big tourist attraction. For all we know, “it” refers to the Grandmother’s home or town. And Granny might be soaking up a lot of this fun attention, and just SAYING she saw him born.

The truth is, women in the early 1960s might not have wanted their in laws all crowding into the birthing room. However, this was a woman who didn’t mind taking her clothes off, so who knows?

It would be worth it to get him out of California.

In both relationships, however, Obama is the girlieman.

Natural Gas is what politicians emit every time they speak.

Hydrogen is what you say to Mr. Drogen when you pass him on the street.

Hold on there, Mr. SierraWasp. Arnold hasn’t banned breathing yet. And cow farts. Those are still legal and not taxed. What about eating grubs? Not taxed, right?

See? There’s still a few reasonable things you can do.
