I see no reason why someone born outside of the U.S can't be the president. It's descriminating to say they aren't qualified to become president. Let's take Arnold for example and let's ask ourselves what makes him unqualified for the job… well I can't really think of anything that might have to do with him being born outside the country….

What a respectable guy.

I thought, Arnold was a Republican!………………………Guess, I was wrong; he's a "Demo-c-RAT Republican"……………..

Barak husein Obama
could invite
Osama bin laden
Or one of Huseins brothers to be in his cabinet

another republican for Obama…

Who would have thought this would happen? I think enegry cabinet would be a great place for this man. He has stood for the environment for many years now, and has tried countless times to change the way our government does business when it comes to energy, its effects on the environment and the over all impact of business and people on the environment. There needs to be stricter laws with a stingent enforcement policy when it comes to global warming, green house emissions, and the effects our way of life has on the environment.

Arnold has always been a democrat hiding in repubican clothing. So it shows true colors to side with a dem. besides he will need to find a job soon anyway. He has been against off-shore oil drilling just like Obama and the democrat congress. He can be Energy Chief and help our 4 dollar gas become 8-10 dollar gas!

Wow, this nation is doomed with all these dummies getting to the top! I am convinced; if McCain does not win the Presidency, it will truely be the end of U.S. as the supreme power in the world as soon the wise and the witty will be ahead of us!

This flip-flopping stuff is a joke. As much as we are fed the daily idea that we are a democracy, that's not entirely true. We're a republic. We elect people to REPRESENT us. So if a politician is not allowed to ever change positions on an issue, they wouldn't really be representing the public, would they? We don't elect someone based on their pre-election personal opinions and then just let them stick to those for a term until we re-elect; they need to in SOME MANNER reflect public sentiment, even if it means recanting on a previous sentiment, or else we'd be a temporal monarchy. Someone get me a copy of the Federalist Papers….

And for the record, McCain shouldn't be labeling anyone a flip-flopper, if it be so negative. I remember him vehemently opposing offshore drilling at the end of May only to flip his position less than 3 weeks later. He used to be the "maverick," and now all he's become is Republican motor vehicle. If anyone has been inconsistent, it's him.

Obama has produced his birth cert copy - get with the times!

More like McCain as the Zero and Obama is the Hero!!

OBAMA 08′

Arnold is a real flip flopper. Politicians need a long lasting conviction so people know what they are going to elect. He should step down instead of changing the sides.

YOU MUST BE SLEEPING ON THE COUCH.

Arnold is a real flip flopper. Politicians need a long lasting convictiion so people know what they are going to elect. He should step down instead of changing the sides.

Well looks like he is trying to campaign for a job any whichway he can be it seperating from the Rep to the Dem wow. This isnt another action movie were you can be terminated in one and brought back in a sequel

Why would he do that? He said he supports John McCain. I guess he is a girlie man.

Arnold, instead of a cabinet post, please seriously consider running for mayor of Los Angeles. We need you!!!

Arnold for Obama.

A hero in many ways.

Go Obama go.

Arnie is actually the definition of BiPartisan. If you review his record, although it leans republican, he would be absolutely perfect as an independent. He has a long record of researching both sides, and voting for the best decision, regardless of which party it supports most. It really is a shame that he can't run for President, he would certainly be a formiddable, no nonsense candidate.

He has served my state well, and fairly. His time has been spent repairing alot of wrongs done by Governor Davis, and since it was pretty messed up, his achievements are not as bright as they might appear. I think he has done GREAT with getting us back on track, we still have more to go. We need more people like him in politics.

WOW….that was waaaaaayyyyyyy out of left field. So far out there i had to laugh. Chuck Hagel would be a better candidate. Not sure how i like the term "Vice Presenator"

My apologies…typo.
Good for you Governor!

Hope Obama leaves any Republican out of his cabinet!!!! For example, take George W. Bush, Dick Cheney, etc., etc., etc.! No thanks!

Hey! I think Maria is wearing him down! Go Maria! Bring Arnold over to the Obama camp. We welcome everyone.

I JUST WROTE MY COMMENTS AND CNN DID NOT PRINT THEM
THERE WAS NOTHING OFFENSIVE, CRUDE, VULGAR, PROFANE IN ALL OF MY COMMENTS ON CNN.
ALL THE CANDIDATES N THE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENTIAL PRIMARIES COULD NOT MATCH NOR EVEN COME CLOSE TO MATCHING OBAMA AND hILLARY CLINTON IN THE NUMBER OF VOTES AND THE MONEY AND FUNDS THEY RAISED AND END UP AS THE ONLY TWO WITH THE MOST. HILLARY CLINTON IS BY FAR AND AWAY NOT ONLY BEST QUALIFIED,BUT EVEN MORE IMPORTANT ARE HER NUMBER (18 MILLION)OF SUPPORTERS AND HER FUND RAISING ABILITY. THAT AND ADD BILL CLINTON AND CHELSEA CLINTON FOR FUND RAISING AND VOTE GETTING
AND YOU HAVE AN IDEA WHO IS BEST ABLE TO ELECT OBAMA PRESIDENT.. THE OBAMA CAMP SEEM RELUCTANT BECAUSE THEY SAY BILL CLINTON'S PRESENCE "COMPLICATES" THINGS?
BILL CLINTON WILL MERELY BE A FUND RAISER AND NOTHING MORE. OBAMA AS PRESIDENT CAN SEND BILL CLINTON AS AN OCCAIONAL EMISSARY TO SOME FOREIGN COUNTRY IF HE SO DESIRES. BILL CLINTON IS NOT SEEKING ANY POSITION IN OBAMA'S PRESIDENTIAL CAMPAIGN OR HIS ADMINISTRATION.
SO WHAT IS THE PROBLEM? BILL CLINTON HAS BEEN AND IS GOING TO BE OUT OF SIGHT FOR A LONG TIME, EXCEPT FOR HIS
PRESIDENTIAL LIBRARY WHICH HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH OBAMA OR THE CAMPAIGN. HE WILL NOT BE IS A SPEAKING TOUR .

WOW - a REAL bi-partisan, "do what's best for America" Republican.

I'm glad to see there still is ONE out there. McSame used to be one until he decided to run for Prez.

Obama administration will show BIPARTISONSHIP!

He will reach acorss the aile to get things done.

Seems that Arnold has been discussing this subject with Senator Obama perhaps behind closed doors. Arnold is very outspoken and if this was something he could consider based on what his vision of America is … looks to me he's ready to sign up on the Obama train.

Dear Arnold,

DO NOT BE BEURAUCRATIC GIRLY-MAN

Thanks Arnold, you're actually doing a pretty good job as gov of the bear state.

Wholly agree that "flip-flopping' (hate that word) is getting a bad rep, btw. Easy vaccilation of opinion is not the same as knowing when it's realistically best to adapt to changing situations because you *gasp* have sound judgement and intellect.

Signed,
a $13 per hour elitist

It is about time you terminate your relationship with the repubs

Goof for you Governor!

He should be helping with the budget since he has done such a fine job wrecking the economy of California

Schwarzenegger has always been a RINO in my mind. But he is conservative when compared to Pelosi and the other democrats from California. Most democrats in Texas are more conservative than most republicans from California.

Arnold for Obama's VP

Get to the Chopper!!!

McCain vs. Obama: The hero vs. the zero

He said it: changing one's mind is perfectly alright, as long as one's honest about it. It's called learning.
But if someone is lying about it, as Obama repeatedly has, then it is dishonest exploitation. We should not reward dishonesty!

So… when Clinton works with republicans she's being 'manipulative' and 'positioning herself' and 'lying down for the republicans.' If Obama does that he's a 'uniter' and is 'reaching across the aisle.'
Po-tay-toe, po-tah-toe.

Oh, that would be great, another moron in D.C.

Good advice on the flip-flopping issue…. people change their mind all the time about various issues and if the change is for the better why not?

I AM BEGINNING TO LIKE AHNOLD.

The Terminator is Terminating his REPO-blican Party Card for a United Dem Party. Sorry McCan’t the terminator wants to fight another day.

LOVE ARNOLD. MY FIRST REPUBLICAN I VOTE.

AND NOW TO THE NEW YORKER MAGAZINE.

HOW SURPRISING TO HAVE A NAZI PUBLICATION

IN GREAT STATE OF N.Y.. DAVID REMNICK, EDITOR.

WINS THE SCUM BAG AWARD OF THE YEAR.

ventura is right the problemas we have in the world now are maid by political partys and religion . because to many people beleve theirs flipflap and they fall for. the only thing they are good for is theme selfs not from the people to the people so throw both at the ocean

Arnold…you were much better in scripted action movies…you are more than lame as a Republican Governator. Why don't you just change your party to Democrat, then you will be right at home with all those egotistic air heads.

I had not paid much attention to Schwarzenneger as a politician until recently and thought he sounded very up front and honest in this interview. I now see how he got the governship in CA being a Republican because he truly seems to look at both sides of the issues and does not draw a line in the sand and make decisions in a partisan fashion.

I would be in favor of having Arnold in an Obama cabinet. He really seems to want to give something back to this country. For a foreign-born citizen, he seems to have more admiration/love of this country than many natural-born citizens. I think more history of this country needs to be taught in school because many people really take our freedoms and rights for granted.

Please Arnold!!!! Don't do it!!! You are far better than to lower yourself to work for a pure idiot. The only reference to a cabinet position when it comes to Obama would be to lock him in a cabinet and lock the door so he can no longer feed us the crap about how he is going to change the world. Barack is a JOKE, please Arnold DON'T DO IT!!!!!!

An energy related cabinet position for Schwarzeneggar? No thanks. He drives a Hummer.

Arnold has done a great job here in California. What sucks is that he was left trying to figure out how to put the toothpaste back into the tube after that idiot Davis was voted out.

We cannot just change the Constitution and let Arnold run.

The founding fathers included the "native born" requirement for good reason.

And yes, John McCain was born in Panama on a US Naval Base, to
two American citizens. There was a flap about his eligibility in 2000,
and the matter was cleared up. McCain is "native born."

There are a lot of questions on the blogs about Obama's eligibility.

Why doesn't he end all speculation and just produce solid proof?

McCain had to prove it beyond all doubt; why not Obama?

Why not Obama turns more into a Reb. everyday. Also about the Nyorker cover. its a joke people. it shows all the misrepresentations people have of Obama. its in his favor not against. I thought the obamanites are suppose to be the smart thinking ones and all they noticed was they are making afun of my boy…………New yorker Bad.um.Bama good………

When you have Republicans looking to join a Democratic administration, that tells you a lot about the Democrat.

Go Obama!!!

Arnold has something positive to offer, and governing California, which is like governing a nation of 20 different nationalities, religions, abnd cultures, is no easy task. Considering the budget diasters here, he's done a pretty fair job holding the state together. He's also not afraid to speak his mind and knows that "W" and all his religious freak supporters are simply gutless cowards. I'm a California Democrat, but if he runs for Diane Feinstein's seat when she retires, he's got my vote.

If, on the other hand, he wants to be a spokesperson for 21st Century economics, and that means creating millions of jobs through alternative energy technologies, no one outside Al Gore is up to the task. Obama should extend an offer to him.

American people is now so used to a inflexible, stubborn, cowboy politics in Busch and now Jonh Maccain, that when Obama who has a politic of openness, a president that will tell the truth to americans.the media and Macsame(who has change his mind on drilling issues)called flip-flop.you see, the most of time i politics you have to ajust your opinions to the situasion, to get the right results. thats not so difficult to understand , is it?

He's 'Baacking' Barack?

Well, it would get him outta California.

Secretary for body building maybe ??

Stay were you are, Ahnuld! You are the best Governor we had in a long time, Democrat or Republican. There is two more years to go!

Wife got to you Arnold ! It's switch or back to the movies, huh?

Kind of crazy, but I am starting to like the guy more all the time. He makes sense on the environment and on some economic issues.

arnnie just wants to be in the white house so he can start working on changing the constitution to allow anyone from any country to be the POTUS. Hell why not its a global economy now right, why not let everyone exploit the good ole United States of Mexico.

Objective republican–how novel!!!! He would be good in a cabniet postion under Obama!!! Love the idea Hagel is going with Obama to Europe and Iraq. Good choice. Watch Zacardea with his interview of Obama. Obama is soooo smart internationally!!! Everyone in America should have watched that interview!!! He spoke the truth and peace. He understand the world. Go Obama!!

Remember, Sully, this ist my veak aahm..!

Hasn't he run the California economy right back where it was (in the tank) when he was elected? Oh, and he was the great savior. Just what we need, Arnold managing the US energy policy while he commutes by private jet to his job. What a joke. Why do voters keep falling for celebrities with nothing but their star power to back them up?

GOOD NEWS ANY WAY UNIT FOR CHANGE

GET TO DA CHOPPA!!!

CNN)—California Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger, who endorsed John McCain’s presidential run before his state’s February primary, said Sunday he would consider accepting an energy-related cabinet position from Democrat Barack Obama if the offer were extended.

He better call Mccain!!

“As long as he’s honest or she’s honest, I think that [changing your mind] is a wonderful thing,” said Schwarzenegger. “I’ve changed my mind on things and it is nothing wrong with it, but I just say to the people I once thought this way now I think this way. End of story.”

—- So, what's wrong with Bush's Iraq war? May be was honest and once thought that way, still thinks that way, when he realises he will think in a different way, end of story. Why give Obama benefit for opposing war (that's also a BIG question mark) without knowing any information, intelligence report etc.?

A good choice if we are going to have a change that will make a difference.

S King

Sonora KY.

is arnold really a democrat he agrees with everything on what obama says and bashes mccain and bush hmmm makes you wonder or maybe he is a republican that is fed up with the current administration and knows JOHN MCCAIN WILL ONLY BRING THE SAME!!!

I think that it would make deep political waves for both Obama and Gov. Schwartzanegger as far as both parties are concerned. It would be a great thing to happen for this country.
I am from California, born and raised. I've seen what the governor has done for our state. He is truelly a stand-up man. Probably one of the only Republicans I would vote for. For a President Obama to have him in his cabinet says alot about bi-partisan politics.
It would be a most excellent move.

proves the point.. Obama is just Hollywood hype

Good for him. Getting the job done is more important than choosing sides.

I see him as a democrat, and have you see the way he looked at McCain lately… the look where he wants to "terminate" him…

Dang Ahnald. I mean, are you really trying to help my candidate or aer you setting him up for something down the road?
This is incredible and while I always thought (think) Gov. Davis should not have been recalled, I see why you were reelected by a good number.
Thanks for your consideration and we'll be happy to have you offer sound policy on energy should Senator Obama be victorious in November 2008.

USA Presidents must be USA-born citizens …. sorry Auh nold … we are not changing this law for you or anyone else.

THE NAZIS PUBLISH A MAGAZINE IN N.Y.

I DIDN'T KNOW THAT WHEN I LIVED THERE.

TIME TO STOP BUYING IT.

DAVID "SCUM BAG" REMNICK WILL PUBLISH NEXT HIS OPINION

ON HOLOCAUST GOURMET MEALS & CALL IT SATIRE.

I love this idea. 'Ahnold' seems to grasp environmental concerns more fully than many, and though he hasn't been the 'magic bullet' that many Califorinians had probably hoped for when they voted for him, he seems to have done the best he can with a VERY difficult situation. Granted, erm, the plane thing needs to be addressed…

Ed - California does NOT have a governor's mansion. Get your info straight. Ha ha ha ha ha

AT LEAST ARNOLD CAN BE OBJECTIVE……

He does a pretty good job considering the kind of people that live in California.

Arnold is really a Democrat! he's everything against what bush wants and needs. Off Shore drilling, unsecure borders. He's a "realist" and knows america isnt a solid country but a fluid one, changing everyday by the people who inhabit this country. If Obama is elected, Which I hope, His cabinet will be considered the engine that could, and did "truely" run for americas highest hopes and aspirations. Hagel, Arnold, any more republicans want to make America better? Republicans have destroyed this country!

Arnold for President!!! Change the Constitution and let the man run. I would trust our country to him than the current choices.

If Gore won't take it, then Arnold would be a great choice! More evidence that Obama will make this a bi-partisan administration and not staff it with the cronies like McCain will.

The fact is hardly any sensible person whether Republican or not can support the majority of McCain's platforms other than more tax breaks for the wealthy. The rest of his jibberish doesn't make sense to anyone.

as a californian, I've never liked ahnold until now.

Governator……. where in the wrold are you coming from?? LOL!!! You just bust out of nowhere! LOL!!

The Governator at least seems to be an open-minded guy. Too many politicians would refuse to help someone just because they weren't in the same party.

It sounds like he may have changed his mind about the endorsement he made. He is probably disappointed that as Obama shifts to the center, McCain keeps tacking to the right.

WOW! Endorses McCain but would work for Obama. Now that's bipartisanship at it's best. LOL!

A great show of bi-partisanship from a courageous Governor. Well done!

Very well put. A very smart and wise man.

DEMOCRATS UNITE!!!

odd that he said "when" not "if" he's president, even though he endorsed McCain. His wife must be getting to him, and i mean in a good way.

GO ARNOLD, A BETTER AMERICAN THAN DICK & GEORGE.

Great Job Sir.
OBAMA (2008 -16)

(Arnold voice)

GET DOWN!!

arnie knows a star ,when he sees one.his wife endorsed obama.he doesnt appear very republican to me.more centrist,actually.he's like the anti-lieberman,of politics.

That would make sense since Arnold has been consistantly opposed to offshore oil drilling and stands up to the Big Oil lobby. He would make a good Sec. of Energy.

Seems like Arnold has more in common with Obama then Father Time.

I'm sure the Governator's preference to commute daily by airplane to/from the governors mansion is an indication that he will have a sound energy policy for our country.

NO THANK YOU. I WILL BE GLAD WHEN YOU ARE NO LONGER MY GOVENOR.
