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."

He did such a wonderful job turning California into a basket case that he'd be a perfect fit for the Obama regime. Look a what a wonderful job Napolitano is doing after she trashed Arizona's budget and economy.

He helped to terminate California's economy. His being energy czar will terminate America's economy.

Wouldn’t that be “Kaiser”?

[truthguy]

The man is an ignorant buffoon and he knows LESS about the subject of energy than the average guy on the street. He has no background in science or technology and listening to him speak about energy issues is worst than going through root canal. The guy is a clown and needs to go back to the clown town he came from- Hollywood.

Yup.....he’ll fix the Feds like he did in California.

[matt1234]

This would be difficult because 0bama doesn’t speak Austrian.

[Revolting cat!]

He could head the Ministry of Physical Fitness.

[lonestar]

Arnold looks good here...but hasn’t aged well.

[Lancey Howard]
