Arnold Schwarzenegger indicates he would accept position in Obama administration
Arnold Schwarzenegger, the outgoing Republican Governor of California, has indicated he would accept a position as an "energy tsar" in President Barack Obama's Democratic administration.
Mr Schwarzenegger suggested he would like to go to Washington and influence national policy on clean energy use, and promote environmentalism.
The former Hollywood action star has until now refused to disclose what he plans to do after he leaves office next month.
Giving his first indication of what direction he wants to pursue however, Mr Schwarzenegger said he was a "very big believer in environmental issues" and wanted to build, at the national level, on legislation he enacted in California to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Mr Schwarzenegger suggested he was an ideal person to appeal to the American public at large on environmental issues because of his "celebrity power, knowledge and experience."
He added that energy consumers were more likely to listen to him about the need for reform because he would not be seen as a radical, adding: "People are very receptive when I talk about these things because I'm a Hummer driver not a tree-hugger."

The Austrians would like the world to believe that Beethoven was Austrian and Hitler was German.
Ahhnold,maybe you could team up with Jesse Ventura instead. There must be some conspiracies out there that need to be terminated. We do not want or need “czars” here. Not now, not ever. Those 0bummer appointed are as illegal as he is.
When Barny Cohaagen calls, Hauser Schwarzenegger will be there to shut off the air!
Actually, it's not surprising that this Nazi would favor the Anschluss.
Progressives stick together!
Any suggestions as to which job in the Administration he should be appointed??
Did anyone actually talk about offering him one, or is he just trolling for a job?
"I'll be back...to install a CO2 emissions meter on your building."
Good, maybe this will be the end of this tool, join the sinking ship ss obama, and sail off into obscurity.
So, Ahnold, you're saying that people are more likely to listen to a hypocrite?
What does the guy know about energy except that it requires energy to pump iron?
When forensic scientists went to exhume the body of Beethoven they were surprised to open the tomb and find Beethoven sitting at a piano with a pencil and a pile of sheet music, erasing all the notes.
Then they realized he was just decomposing.
deport that Austrian communist!!!!
Let him form an obese police to hassle Janet Incompetento, Jerrold Nadler, and other overfed Democrats.
Arnold was always a RINO now he’s making it crystal clear that he’s a Liberal schmuck.
Sorry Schwartz...you’ve been near a Kennedy, even worse, a Kennedy Bimbo.
You’re now even more stupid than before, you’ve probably got an alcohol problem, and your morals are now in question.
Go away.
Far away.
Perhaps Austria.
It's a high paying gig and all it takes is a Movie or two and the perks are Nobel Awards and big bucks ... I'm actually surprised there isn't more competition.

They don’t make them much dumber than this former steroid using muscleman. He has f’ed up this state so bad during his time in office. We were better off with the corrupt Gray Davis as our governor. At least we would not have expected anything good out of him.
When you her his name you just laugh.
