Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says his wife has been 'gloating' about Barack Obama's win.
Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger says his wife has been 'gloating' about Barack Obama's win.

(CNN) - Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said that even though his party didn’t win the presidential election, he has at least one thing to be happy about.

“I can get back into the bedroom, so there's the big advantage,” the California governor said Sunday on CNN’s “Late Edition.”

Schwarzenegger, a leading Republican, is married to Maria Shriver, a member of the very Democratic Kennedy clan.

Shriver endorsed Barack Obama in February, just days after her husband announced his support of John McCain.

Schwarzenegger said his wife has been “gloating now for these last few days” and running around the house with a life-size cutout of Obama saying, “We won.”

WATCH what Schwarzenegger says about the election

Striking a more serious tone, Schwarzenegger said he doesn’t see how any incumbent party could have held onto power this year, given the economic situation and the housing crisis.

“I think no one knew that it's going to be that bad. I think the Republicans were trying to hold on to, you know, if it would have been just the housing crisis or the mortgage crisis. But then when the stock market crash came, I think it was just too much,” he said.

Looking to the future, Schwarzenegger said that Democrats and Republicans should come together and avoid getting stuck in ideology.

“Democrats and Republicans should do everything they can to help [Obama] and his administration to be successful, because when he is successful … then the nation is successful. And then the world is successful. So, we've all got to work together on this,” he said.

Well, Arnie....at least one out of three ain't bad for the Republiscum.

Anita of georgia   November 10th, 2008 10:28 am ET

The economics crisis and Housing crisis is not the reason for Senate McCain failed campaign. What cause him to bite the dust, is the fact that he did'nt have any issues to run on, that would attract most voters. He was so out of touch with the average American. He could'nt get any supporters other than his die hard base. He needed to appeal to voters other than his supporters. He could'nt do that. The negative campaigning along with trying to divide our country with lies and misleading information was the last draw. Those things put a nail in his coffin. Americans did'nt want to listen to information, that could'nt help turn the pages to a new beginning, to put our country on the right track. He probably would have had a chance, only if he would've talk issue that meant so much to most Americans. I agree, we all do need to get behind our new President elect Barack Obama. I believe he can change American and bring change to the world within a reasonable amount of time.

The Governator really hit the mark I think. I go back to what I believed was a huge mistake at the onset of the Bush Campaign. When we had a surpluss in the budget and went and gave it all back, we should not have done that. Should have put that money into infrastructure improvements back then. If we had done that then, we probably would not be in nearly as bad of shape as we are now.

Catholic-mom-4-OBAMA   November 10th, 2008 10:20 am ET

Its disgusting to continue to read comments on these blogs from the likes of people like "Texas Trail Dog". The far-right are so blind to anything other than what Hannity, oReilly & Limbaugh spew that it is downright disturbing!

Listen up, those of you, who continue to spew hate, lies, fear and division we have had enough of your vile hateful comments. This IS why your candidate, LOST. America, 63 Million of us, rejected the vile and hateful politics of the Republicans. IF they are smart they will change their ways!

I am DELIGHTED with President-elect Barack Obama! God bless & protect you!

Obama-Junkie, IL   November 10th, 2008 10:18 am ET

I'm sure when Arnold walked to the bedroom doorway to exit the bedroom, he did a half -turn to Maria and said to her in his
Terminator voice "I'LL BE BACK!"

I couldn't resist. Only in America could someone as uneducated as Arnold (former Bodybuilder and Actor) rise to such political power. Arnold became Governor based on his "celebrity status".

mary, colorado springs   November 10th, 2008 10:18 am ET

Arnold Schwartznegger needs to forget the bedroom and start working on the conditions in California. Since he got into office, the state has gone downhill......just another case of a Republican failure.

Susan   November 10th, 2008 10:17 am ET

He is very well liked. A very good person.

Maggie in NYS   November 10th, 2008 10:14 am ET

I watched the entire interview with Gov. Schwarzenegger and he seems to want to do everything possible to help President Obama be successful. Come on people, democrats and republicans, we have to work together and stop trashing each other!

Mike   November 10th, 2008 10:09 am ET

Arnold was asked by the CNN correspondent about Obama and the word that were said and Arnold answered that campaign rhetoric is over. In other words many of the things that he said about Obama was just words to get McCain to get elected. He also said that he will do all he can to support the new President as should we.

Rich - Virginia   November 10th, 2008 10:02 am ET

Wow,

CNN really got this article name correct. Only thing is the Gov. and his state government is in a lot of Calif. bedrooms. Prop 8 showed the people of Cali like the government involved in thier personal lives.

Equality for all!

David   November 10th, 2008 10:01 am ET

"More proof of the 'I'm right, your wrong' attitude of people that call themselves Democrats."

-Throw in "and I'm better than you", and you've got the Republican mindset!

Congrats Arnold, now I understand the big smile in the picture there.

JIM...TX   November 10th, 2008 9:57 am ET

Texas trail Dog...get over it. Your party having run McCain/Palin as candidates was a JOKE! Listening to them talk it was quite obvious to anyone with ANY sense they were not what we needed to lead us out of Dubya's mess.

Jim Colorado   November 10th, 2008 9:57 am ET

One will say most anything when it is obvious they need financial help from poor fiscal policies. Wonder how he will do ,come his re-election?

Larry David   November 10th, 2008 9:55 am ET

Funny,
When I read the headline I thought he was referring to the way California voters decided that they should be regulating the private lives of its citizens when they decided to deny gays and lesbians the basic right of marriage. Oh well as long as he as a heterosexual white male is not denied his rights that's all that matters!!

mitch   November 10th, 2008 9:55 am ET

EW: republicans should never have questioned our patriotism. i will never forgive them for that. so stick it!

Nathan,   November 10th, 2008 9:54 am ET

The terminator had his marital privileges terminated. This guy is no more Republican than his wife. Just like when he was doing movies he's bad at playing something or someone he's not. Someone should tell him that he could be a Democrat and still kill a lot of people in his movies.

Greg M   November 10th, 2008 9:53 am ET

Maybe his wife should be the governor, she seems to be the smart one.

Obama 08'....................................................................

dave oh   November 10th, 2008 9:52 am ET

Obama needs to save all jobs. First, he needs to have the government take over all companies and then use tax money to pay our paychecks. This would be better than paying people unemployment to produce nothing.

Then he should force the car companies to make all the same model of cars, this would reduce costs and allow for a streamlined manufacturing process.

Then he could get rid of the different restaurants and grocery stores and tell vendors to supply the same products to all. By giving us coupons, he could ensure that each family gets the nutrition they need on a daily basis. This would improve our health and drastically reduce the need for a huge healthcare plan. He could combine the healthcare plan with the DMV so that when we go to renew license plates, we also get a physical.

Its partisan BS like yours that is killing this country.

Jackie in TN   November 10th, 2008 9:49 am ET

Well said, Arnold! Coming from a previous Californian who voted for you while living there, I know that you are automatically going to be scrutinized from all of your unprofessional non-supporters. I guess that if our conservative party had won the ticket on Tuesday, you know that we'd be subjected to all sorts of backlash because of it. Please know that I am very honored by your light-hearted humor through all of this, especially knowing that you aren't behaving like a bag of "sour grapes" about it! Wish you could run for Prez!!!

Ken   November 10th, 2008 9:49 am ET

Arnold is a good man, but he needs to tell his fellow Republicans that one reason they lost was the mean-spiritedness that has become their trademark. If someone disagrees with you, they are anti-America, terrorists, socialists, Marxists, godless, and aiding and abetting the enemy.

Republicans love to claim the title of "family values" and "Christian values" but their campaigns violate those values. Until they learn to walk the walk, I hope the American people continue to give them the loud and clear message that happened last week.

EW   November 10th, 2008 9:45 am ET

Typical Democrat comments here. No matter what anyone says its wrong unless they say it.

Arnold said exactly what all the Democrats have been saying but yet he gets condemned by the Democrats for saying it.

More proof of the 'I'm right, your wrong' attitude of people that call themselves Democrats.

frodo   November 10th, 2008 9:43 am ET

So, I guess I missed something. Obama before the election said that he was FOR drilling. Now he is reviewing the presidential executive orders and saying he will repeal drilling? Anything to get elected....
McCain is just as bad.

The government has become a shadow of our freedoms and liberties. The republicans and democrats have created our problems...and I guess that it's a great analogy to have Maria and Arnold in bed together...The Democrats and Republicans have been in bed together for a very long time, and only have a tussle around election time. Then it's back to the same.

miguel   November 10th, 2008 9:42 am ET

Arnie, you're a democat in disguise. you've married into that criminal origanization.

Austin TX   November 10th, 2008 9:40 am ET

Arnold is a role model for us all. I admired him when he was eight time Mr. Olympia and was a major influence in the health movement in this country a few decades ago, he continues his charities, and youth sports, special olympics, health clubs, nutrition, and healthy living. He is pro family, pro traditional marriage, and since he is pro life, does not support abortion, I like him even more. Maybe if more of you saw what a late term abortion actually is, pulling the legs out, piercing and crushing the skull, you would all have a conversion. Well, liberals are Godless, I forget. Obama is supporting FOCA.

Ken in Dallas   November 10th, 2008 9:39 am ET

At least there's one Republican humble(d) enough not to be a sore loser.

David   November 10th, 2008 9:38 am ET

As a Californian, I'm not the biggest fan of Arnold. He's cut quite a bit of education funding, which I take issue with. But in general, he's one of the most moderate Republicans I've ever known; so as a moderate, I have tremendous respect for him. Plus on social issues, he often takes the opposing side compared to many of his Republican colleagues. He's the kind of Republican I wouldn't mind voting for for President....'sept he can't run.

AKGrown   November 10th, 2008 9:36 am ET

Well if she doesn't want him I'll take him off her hands.... ummm it's Arnold! C'mon, who doesn't love him! Yea he's three times my age but he is still a stud...

w.l. jones   November 10th, 2008 9:36 am ET

Each and every American look deep in your heart and thank Gov. Schwarzenegger for his insight at what proud to be an American. Lay all our different aside and be what we can be one people for one and all in this country need. Bless all.

This is all very nice, but reality is that the Democrats wouldn't do it when the Republicans needed them to work together and now look where we are. The Democratically controlled congress ended with the lowest approval rating ever and now they need the Republicans help...the revenge cycle continues and we the people suffer.

Well we do need some form of entertainment.

Closely Watching   November 10th, 2008 9:26 am ET

Ya know, when the Gubernator first took office my initial impression of his actions and his 'girly men' comments made me think that California had voted in a joke. However, even as a born again Democrat, I have to admit that I have warmed up to the guy over the past couple of years. Sure, California is broke and in a mess, but what majorly populated state isn't right now? He still makes his gaffes, but I do think that some of his programs make sense and that he does have the best interest of his state at heart. Like Bill Clinton, he probably plays hard but I think he also works hard. Well said A'nold.

Anonymous   November 10th, 2008 9:25 am ET

jersey girl   November 10th, 2008 9:24 am ET

The "Gov" is NOT funny. Who cares about what is going on his bedroom? That was a stupid thing to say in public. I guess it should not shock me...........he likes Palin.
Gov, you owe your wife a public apology. If I were married to you (Thank God I am not) I would expect nothing less.
Fix your mistake Gov along with the rest of California.

petena   November 10th, 2008 9:24 am ET

Arnold: Time to switch to the Democratic party. Your party has your state in the tank. Get it?

John in Ohio   November 10th, 2008 9:23 am ET

California would be in a lot better shape if the Democrats and Republicans in the legislature could get over themselves and work together. I'm not in agreement with all of Arnold's politics, but I can recognize as an outside observer that he's doing all he can, and the failures of the California state government are not with the executive office. If California wants to blame him and replace him that's their right, but it's not going to fix a thing. They need to replace their legislators on both sides of the aisle.

MalcolmX   November 10th, 2008 9:22 am ET

Shes wrong Arnold. Both she and Elisabeth H. are wrong. America lost last Tuesday. It will all come to light in the future. Americans lost.

Arnold: Your state is in the tank just like many others out there because of the REPUBLICAN party. Don't you think its time for you to CHANGE? You've got at least one person who has it right in your household.

Maybe, just maybe, the Republicans lost because they wanted unregulated industries where businesses could be as greedy as they possibly could get away with. At the same time, Republicans wanted to regulate your personal life and tell you when you could or couldn't have children, who you could marry, and who could listen in on your phone conversations.

Oh, I thought he was talking about Prop 8...

As an ally (and child of a minister), I am totally appalled by those who would use religion to prevent others from having rights simply because of their own hatred/fear. Christ said NOTHING about a person's sexuality– and if we're going to start basing all laws in the US on the Old Testament, a whole lot of people are going to be in trouble.

facts are facts   November 10th, 2008 8:40 am ET

The Republicans simply can't face the facts their philosophies are not in touch with the needs of the country. The days of greed and right wing extremism are past and the religious right is just a burden on their party.

Unless someone or a group of their more sensible down to earth members takes over the purges the wackos and kooks from the party they will slowly fade into oblivion.

CC   November 10th, 2008 8:33 am ET

The Pecan State Pundit   November 10th, 2008 8:33 am ET

Schwarzenegger has always been several cuts above the rest of the Republican leadership. Unlike them, actually wants good things for the country. They only want good things for themselves and their corporate sugar daddies.

It is the duty of the loyal opposition in these times to be more loyal than opposing. The country cannot indulge Conservatives who only want to use our political processes for their own enrichment and oppose anything and everything that does not result in a new stream of wealth to themselves (only).

Who cares what Schwarzenegger said? I have always disliked him but after he made fun of Obama’s physical appearance during McCain’s rally, I cannot stand him. Barack Obama looks like Michelangelo’s David as compared to Schwarzenegger. To me, Schwarzenegger looks like huge gorilla or bulldog. His muscles (thanks to steroids) do not make him good-looking or smart. I wish he would continue to play cheap roles in cheap movies and leave politics alone. Doesn’t California have somebody with brain to be their governor?

Looking to the future, Schwarzenegger said that Democrats and Republicans should come together and avoid getting stuck in ideology. Now, I certainly agree with that statement...let us put Party Ideology aside and work for all of America and get this mess cleaned up.

Folks, let's all just relax. Even Obama's most ardent supporters probably accept deep down that his policies won't really be able to bring about much change at all. And for the rest of us that worry that it's Jimmy Carter redux, 2012 is only 4 short years away. Jindal and Huckabee both have engagements in Iowa today.

Great words by Arnold Schwarzenegger, Republicans you need to listen to what he is saying. Like it or not, President Obama is here now.

"Democrats and Republicans should do everything they can to help [Obama] and his administration to be successful, because when he is successful … then the nation is successful. And then the world is successful. So, we've all got to work together on this,” he said."

Great talk, Arnie. Now how about actually putting that into practice and working on California's problems – - for a change?

This is the kind of cheap headline news that CNN plays on?
I'm sure you CNN can do better

As a democrat I believe that had John Mcain picked Arnold as his veep, he would have won the election. Palin was the first of many bad decisions in this years campagin for Macain. That just goes to show that he had no idea how to become a real president, and his choices mirrored Bush's demise into the abyss of disinformation upon Iraq and other National Security issues. He shoud resign from Senate and let new blood come into the senate. Maybe Arnold should take his seat?

Yo Arnold!

Get out of that bedroom and do another Terminator movie!

Personally I would like to see "Ahnuld" take himself INTO the bedroom and NEVER come out. His insults and his arrogance certainly offer no benefit to the Obama administration. His hurled insults and personal attacks are not the direction we're headed in!

Isn't that a little strange to say?

It is the same Schwarzenegger who said that Obama had skinny legs when he was campaigning for the desperate McCain in Ohio. I am glad that his wife has taken on him head-long so let us see what he will do with his big chest with apparently little grey matter in the skull

I think Maria is awesome. She should keep Arnold out of the bedroom because of his comments about Obama's scrawny legs. However, from Obama's beach photos, he does not have scrawny legs. He's proportionate in every way. ;>)
