OMG No! Schwarzenegger in the Obama Administration!

[Why Syzygy]

Coming up on CNN. A POSSIBLE place for that TURD? That would kill me.

[tekisui]

1. WH Action Hero?

[AzNick]

66. President Skinny Legs: meet Advisor Manboobs!

[AlCzervik]

2. How about waiting to hear from the Obama administration before you just believe that?

[Ian David]

3. Gaghhhh! Get back in the chopa! n/t

[anonymous171]

4. WH Personal trainer? He did say that Obama needed to do some squatz.

[Ian David]

6. Will he teach Obama how to bowl?

"Even when I suck at something, I still look damn cool, don't I?"

[Cali_Democrat]

5. NOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

On edit:

Actually if he leaves California, that would be a very good thing. We would have a Dem Gov. :D

[camera obscura]

7. The current Lt. Gov is a Democrat

[mikelgb]

8. that would be great, take him the fuck outta Caleeforya

and keep close tabs on him, call him Token

[Why Syzygy]

16. I was planning to move to CA

in 2004. But after the installation of Schwartz, I postponed indefinitely.

[DrToast]

31. It's Obama's way of thanking us for the 55 Electoral votes.

[THUNDER HANDS]

9. well, that would pretty much guarantee a Dem governor, wouldn't it?

[Imagevision]

10. Last week he was bad mothing Obama - his term is up as the govenator - buh-bye Arnie...

[closeupready]

11. WHY?

What can he possibly bring to Obama's administration?????

[Bryn]

68. his Kennedy wife?

[damonm]

12. Oh, come on.

Don't be such a DQ.
Arnold has been very proactive on climate change and renewable energy issues - the ONE thing I can say about him. He might be decent in a DOE post. Would get him the hell outta our Governor's mansion...

[Why Syzygy]

21. Dairy Queen?

Arnie was in the Energy meetings with Cheney and Enron. Yep, real progressive.

[damonm]

72. And also has been fighting with the Bushies

to implement more stringent Clean Air standards here in CA,as well as pushing legislation to reduce carbon emissions here to 1990 levels by 2020 - first state in the nation to do so, and Schwarzenegger was out front of that.
Get past your hate.

[Why Syzygy]

75. That's good news.

But it doesn't change my feelings, which are not "hate". I don't know if you read another post, but I was seriously planning a move to California, which I aborted due to Schwarz. It's personal.

[Nicholas D Wolfwood]

13. Better than to have him run against Boxer in 2010. (nt)

[Imagevision]

14. Bush gone - Arnie gone and Elizabeth Dole (heavy sigh...)

[Imagevision]

15. Bush gone - Arnie gone and Elizabeth Dole (heavy sigh...)

[Tiggeroshii]

17. yes yes yes!

Get a Democrat back in the governorship here! And we also won't risk losing a Senate seat to him. That would be the best political idea EVER! =D

[Why Syzygy]

19. lol..

[RoadRage]

18. NOOOOOOOO Ahhhhnold. But, we sorta like his In-Laws...

Let's just put them into the administration, and call it "bi-partisian" ;)

[EmperorHasNoClothes]

20. They need a punch dummy in the workout room?

[gblady]

22. LOL!!!

[gkhouston]

23. Need somebody to walk the First Puppy? n/t

[Why Syzygy]

24. Pooper Scooper!

That would be okay. He can also be in the wax museum.

[HiFructosePronSyrup]

25. He's a wonderful choice! I support him 100%! Anyone who doesn't is a troll!

He's married to a Kennedy!

[mile18blister]

26. You've got to be kidding?

You mean Arnold who was put in office to prevent Gray Davis from going after the billions Enron looted from CA? You mean Arnold who now wants to raise sales tax 1.5% because the weeks-old state budget is now 11 billion dollars short? That Arnold? NO F**KING WAY.

[mile18blister]

27. dupe deleted.

[thereismore]

28. As a personal trainer? nt

[ecstatic]

29. white house concierge? nt

[southernyankeebelle]

30. MIGHT WORK

LISTEN IT MIGHT FOR. IT WOULD SHUT UP THE REPUBLICANS WHO LOVE HIM. AFTER ALL HE IS A MODERATE. HE KNOWS HOW TO PLAY WELL WITH OTHER.

[ej510]

32. Please Obama take this piece of shit from my state!

[InAbLuEsTaTe]

33. I highly doubt Obama is even considering that moron.

[Why Syzygy]

34. Evidently, I missed the report

as it was broadcast. I'll stay tuned to see if they repeat.

[Amerigo Vespucci]

35. What part of "Shwarzenegger is a life-long opportunist" do you not understand?

He married into the KENNEDY family.

Obama WON. Arnie's guy LOST.

It's all about Arnie.

[Monk06]

36. Personal trainer. Gotta build up Barack's girly legs ya know.

[Ozma]

39. From Governor of the most populous state to Personal Trainer to

Ambassador to Germany!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[chiefofclarinet]

50. Ambassador to Germany or Austria wouldn't be THAT bad

Well, probably Austria. Chancellor Merkel probably doesn't want yet another creepy American in her country. The last one tried to give her a back rub...

[kestrel91316]

37. He is a COMPLETE idiot. He just came up with the brilliant idea to charge

a 10% sales tax on veterinary medical services in CA, along with amusement parks and sporting events and golf and appliance/auto repairs. He appears completely unaware of the public health implications of this measure when people basically STOP taking their pets to the vet, and farmers quit calling the vet out for their livestock.

We are the first line of defense against bioterrorism. Schwarzenegger is a terrorism enabler.

[RagAss]

42. Send Barney after his ass !

[marimour]

76. I don't think a sales tax is a bad idea. I would still go to the vet with a 6-8% tax.

[Left Is Write]

78. WTF kind of stupid idea is that?

Vets are expensive enough! What is the revenue from this tax supposed to pay for?

[RedCloud]

38. Piano player?

"I'll be Bach!" Sorry.

[blondeatlast]

43. Only response that made me laugh! Thanks. nt

[Starry Messenger]

40. Court Jester? Perfect.

I'd love to see this jerk in cap and bells. Then he'd be out of our state.

[snowbear]

41. So did CNN really report on this?

I didn't see anything over at the CNN website..

The only thing I can find on Google news that has Schwarzenegger and Obama in it within the last hour or so is about Warren Buffett:

Obama taps Buffett

He may not be the next Secretary of the Treasury as was suggested in the second 2008 U.S. presidential debate, but Barack Obama has tapped the Oracle of Omaha to be one of his economic advisors.

Warren Buffett is part of a 17-member transition economic advisory board to help the president-elect choose who will be on his team when he enters the White House on January 20, 2009. Mr. Buffett was also finance advisor to California Republican Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger during his 2003 election campaign.

[Why Syzygy]

45. I searched the site too..

I evidently missed the story as it broadcast because I was reading DU. sorry

Will just have to see if they repeat it.

edit: But, yes. It was the story they said was coming up right before a commercial.

[4_Legs_Good]

44. Poor President-Elect Obama

He's gonna get shit every time he comes up with an idea outside of the box.

There's probably 2 dozen jobs Schwarzenegger could do in the Administration. It would show he's open to the other party, it would give us a Democratic Governor, and probably keep Arnold from running against Barbara Boxer.

I'm not saying make him Treasury Secretary, but if you can give him a job as the head of the Presidential Physical Fitness program or something.

I know, I know, now you're gonna post the photo of him at the pool with all the flab.

I'm just saying, I applaud any thinking outside of the box, any bringing in of a popular, moderate Republican into a post that makes sense for him/her.

David

[snowbear]

48. Nah.. I have a feeling he'll find slots for Chuck Hagel, perhaps former R Lincoln Chafee...

..and I'm sure a few others.

[Mass]

46. The media continue to make up things as they go and people react as if it was true.

Let's wait and see what happens. People are floating names around to try to influence him. Who knows who he is really looking at.

[loyalkydem]

47. Chilll

It's only a rumor at this point, lets just wait and see what the man does

[Pithy]

49. Executive Director

of the President's Commission on Physical Fitness?

[LWolf]

51. As long as he heads the presidential physical fitness program,

and nothing else, I'm all for it.

It gets the "one republican" out of the way without giving up an important position, and it gets Arnold the hell out of California.

[S_E_Fudd]

52. They're talking about energy secretary...

His record in that area is not too bad...

[Why Syzygy]

53. He attended the secret Enron meetings with Cheney.

I call that a problem.


Schwarzenegger Accused of Involvement in $9B California Swindle with Enron’s Ken Lay

Investigative reporter Greg Palast reveals how Republican gubernatorial candidate Arnold Schwarzenegger is part of a larger scheme to help Enron and other power companies avoid paying back $9 billion in illicit profits by replacing Gov. Gray Davis.

[Nikki Stone1]

57. Yes he did, and good catch

This would be a mistake on Obama's part.

[Why Syzygy]

64. This was known even before he was installed as Gov.

You do know that many of the voting machines for his selection were later certified to be BROKEN.

[Nikki Stone1]

71. I didn't know about the voting machines.

Wow.

[Why Syzygy]

74. At least it led to legislation ...

The Golden State's attorney general, Bill Lockyer, said he will sue Diebold, maker of e-voting machines used in California, for fraud. The state will charge that the company made false claims about its products, which were not tested or approved.

73. Guilt by association?

[Sewsojm]

54. I just saw this A-Hole

rip into Obama a little over a week ago while campaigning for McSame, send his sorry republiCon ass back to Austria.

[kwolf68]

55. This has to be a joke

Bad choice...the dumbass Gropinating actor in charge of Energy? What the fook is his expertise on energy other than wasting it in his Hummer2....

Obama is better than this and there are many Republicans better than that.

[Nikki Stone1]

56. I'd be happy to get him out of California, but what use could Obama have for him?

He's too out of shape to do The commission on Physical fitness.

[AlCzervik]

58. speed bump?

[Nikki Stone1]

61. LOL!!!!!!!

:D

[Nikki Stone1]

62. LOL!!!!!!!

[McCamy Taylor]

59. Yes! Make him stop vetoing health care in California. Once California has universal

health care, "so goes the country".

[Gold Metal Flake]

69. Dance, monkey, dance.

[951-Riverside]

70. What is that supposed to mean?

[Nailzberg]

77. FEMA Director?

From all I can tell, the only thing he handles effectively here in Caleefornya, is our never-ending natural disasters. He couldn't be worse than Brownie.

[Left Is Write]

79. "He couldn't be worse than Brownie."

That's really not saying much. :P

[Why Syzygy]

82. Now, that might not be a bad idea...

if Obama is intent on bringing him on. So, Arnie's done a good job with natural disasters?

[Nailzberg]

89. He can't handle anything else, but he seems to be on top of disasters

Maybe it comes from his need to be seen as an action hero or something, but the moment there is a disaster anywhere, he's there, helping cut through the bureaucracy.

Then again, perhaps he's the twisted firebug starting all these wildfires, so he can fulfill his little hero fantasy.

[thatsrightimirish]

80. YES!

Democratic Governor in California!

[Dems4me]

83. If it's true, I would be mystified why Obama would want Schwarzenegger in his administration. n/t
