Schwarzenegger: I'd be Obama energy czar By MIKE ALLEN | 7/13/08 10:23 AM EST
California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in an interview aired Sunday that he would be open to the idea of serving as energy czar in a Barack Obama administration.
Regardless of whether he takes that particular job, Schwarzenegger, a Republican, added on ABC’s “This Week” that he’s now committed to continuing public service even after he leaves Sacramento.
Schwarzenegger endorsed John McCain at the end of January, and McCain has appeared with “the Governator” to praise his efforts to deal with climate change.
A Schwarzenegger appointment would add even more star power to a hypothetical Obama administration, and would allow Obama to make an appointment from across the aisle that would not upset his core supporters.
When George Stephanopoulous asked Schwarzenegger about the idea on “This Week,” the governor replied that he doesn’t "think about taking on a national role.”

But he doesn't have enough cerebral wattage to take on any important cabinet level position.
exactly right. These fires have been burning for weeks and weeks. This this is what happens when the state is out of money or spending on nonsense. You get fires that burn forever.
The Head TWirPinator was on with George Goofynopoulus.
THis gaseous windbag is all about reaching across the aisle, crossing the center line, he as much admits he had to lie to get elected as a Republican in California and get indy and em votes, and then once elected, grabbed hold of a long-time dem issue, the environment, and sees no problem with doing so.
No agenda there, well, not a conservative one, obviously.
I hope he does end up in an Obama administration if Obama wins. It would get him the hell out of California . There is much more damage for him to do here,, until he signs off on raising taxes later this summer.
Let Obama feed the Trojan Horse , California can’t afford him.
Has that ever been proven? /s
I have yet to hear Sean Hannity admit what a mistake it ever was to support the groper.
He can’t. Cabinet secretaries are in the succession for the presidency if all the other top administation officials die in some catastrophe. Arnold cannot serve as president as he was born in Austria.
Personally, I can't stand the guy. But if you think he's dumb I would recommend you watch "Pumping Iron". Arnold thinks like a chess player.
What does Arnold know about energy?
That’s false. People ineligible for the office of President can serve as cabinet secretaries. Think Madeline Albright.
Isn’t the adoption of “global warming” into government policy an abridge to separation of church and state?
No, no. You zee, vee vill put da steeroids in da reactoahs, ya. Den zey vill produuuce morah enagee, ya. Unt dat vill zolve da enagee griziz, ya.
“Across the aisle”??? For crying out loud, their sitting next to each other in the same pew. In fact, he is so close to the Dems, Schwarzenegger is sitting on their laps
This guy commutes to work in a Jet?
Hmmm, not sure where to go with this one.
First of all, Arnold is a pretty bright fellow. He may be using his power for some things we don't agree with right now, but that doesn't make him a dummy.
Secondly, you are comparing him to other secretaries, not other Einsteins :-)
The governator has gone completely insane.
Schwarzenegger in an Obama admin?
Two liberals working together. A good fit.
I was kind of hoping that robot guy that was gunning for him in “The Turdminator” would have been successful.
“California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said in an interview aired Sunday that he would be open to the idea of serving as energy czar in a Barack Obama administration.”
Now, if we tranlate the Gov’s remarks into english he said:
“I’m Arnold Kennedy-Schiver Schwarzenliberal and I’m still an idiot!”
He’d be a great energy czar. Remember the Jerkinator “Hydrogen Highway?” This genius supported a proposal that is not even technically feasible yet. His idea for solving the energy crisis is to just wait for that Star Trek engine that gets 125 miles on a single cup of air. Its right around the corner, don’t you know. He’d make a great energy czar for Obama, since they both buy into the same nonsense. In the meantime, we will all have to eat rice and beans. I guess that’s how the Hydrogen Highway will be fueled, if y’all get my drift.
“go back to his field of expertise...making movies.”
Oh HE11 NO! The only reason he got re-elected was to stop him from going back to making movies.
