CNN

Arnold can't run California and he's trying to tell Obama how to run his White House! Why is this news?

Sounds like I could run for govenor if Palin with only a B.S which took six years to complete and not knowing geography is suffient, then hell, I stand to be victorious. I do have a M.A, plus. Don't know about Arnold. He never aroused my curiosity to even check his credentials.
I think he won because people confused fiction from reality.

Arnold has to worry about California burning. Sounds like Mississippi burning. He needs to go back to doing action films. Being a govenor sounds like the one from Alaska.

United WE STAND, Devided WE FALL.
Let's face it. America has it's back against the wall.
Lets do what we do BEST
UNITE as a People

Change doesn' t necessarily mean people, but change in policy. Like the policies of the past 8 years that ran this country into the ground.

Whyi downt yo just oufer Hillary posetiona of CoPresident ?

...But I do think that Hillary would make a great Secretary of State!!! It's just not Arnold's place to say it. ARNOLD, YOU WILL NEVER BE THE PRESIDENT OF THE U.S. GIVE IT UP. But your wife would make a good president.

Wow, who told Arnold that anyone cares what he thinks of Obama's appointments?

This is the guy who was, in true childish Republican style, deriding Obama for being a "wimp" at one of McCain's White Power rallies.

Arnold, this is none of your business. I think Arnold is a troublemaker. You should go back to making movies: Conan 3, Total Recall 2, True Lies 2, etc. Shut up and good night

Arnold backed Palin too! He really had an eye for LIABILITIES.

Is Arnold really doing that bad of a job? He seems to be really trying. His stance on energy policy and global warming is far more progressive than typical republicans. He has been trying to reconcile the CA state budget deficit by cutting spending without raising taxes (although it can't be done without raising taxes).
I wonder if he has any sorts of regrets about endorsing McCain... he gave his endorsement early on before the campaign got ridiculous.

AU NOLLLLDDDDD, NOBODY ASKED YOU, DID THEY. Be quiet and take care of your backyard (California)!

Hillary would be first rate! This woman has BRAINS and STRENGTH.

She is the ANTI Sara Palin!

yea, I would put Hilliary in the main position of your cabinet, it is just great having the pres be a puppet

Hillary would make a first rate Secretary Of State.

SEVERAL OF YOU WANTS OBAMA "THE CLOWN" TO CHOOSE BILL RICHARDSON. I MAY NOT LIKE THE FACT THAT OBAMA BOUGHT AND WAS SELECTED TO BE THE PRESIDENT, BUT EVEN I WILL NOT WISH RICHARDSON ON "THE CLOWN". RICHARDSON IS THE WORST FRIEND ANYONE CAN HAVE. RICHARDSON CAN STAB YOU IN THE BACK WHILE STILL LAUGHING AT YOUR FACE. THERE IS NOTHING WORST THAN "A TRAITOR". I WOULD NOT WISH THIS MAN RICHARDSON ON ANYBODY'S WORST ENEMY. "A TRAITOR HE WAS YESTERDAY, A TRAITOR HE IS TODAY, AND A TRAITOR HE WILL BE TOMORROW." THIS IS WHY I LOVE REAGAN, AND OUR CURRENT PRESIDENT BUSH. "LOYALTY". I THINK THIS WORD IS THE SWEETEST WORD IN HUMAN LANGUAGE AND I TRULY BELIEVE RICHARDSON WHOLE BEING IS DEVOID OF THE WORD "LOYALTY". SO EVEN THOUGH I DO NOT LIKE THE SELECTION PROCESS OF THIS PRESIDENT, I WILL NOT IN GOOD CONSCIENCE WISH THIS TRAITOR ON HIM. DO NOT DO IT OR HE WILL HANG YOU TO DRY JUST LIKE HE DID CLINTONS. "A TRAITOR NEVER CHANGES SPOTS."

if this is how Obama makes Change, welll the economby should get very interesting

Change is good

WHO CARES WHAT ARNOLD HAS TO SAY! Obama didn't win with his help! I do believe that he and Obama may think along the same lines but Obama isn't a political opportunist compromising his core beliefs just to get elected! Arnold you are old news and theres a new feeling in this country and President-elect Obama represents that feeling!

This is the same Schwarzenegger who thought that Palin was a good choice to be the next vice president.

who is arnold and who is hillary? obama said change, this is change? i would think obama would at least keep one campain promise, at least till he even gets to the office.

arnold just wants hillarys vote for when he asks obama to bail out california. good thinking there arnold. perhaps obama should offer hilliary the cabinet position of Secretary of Bail Outs.

Hillary Is A Smart Woman And Could Do Good In The New Administration!

Arnold Schwarzenegger is a joke and should never be taken seriously.

He should weigh in on the next woman he wants to grope.

You right wingers will continue to foam at the mouth no matter what....

This country is an absolute mess mostly (but not exclusively) due to the screwed up agenda of the last 8 years. Obama needs to hit the ground running....he needs highly experienced people to make the process go.

So, yeah, he is considering people like Richardson and Clinton. If he had chosen neophytes you would be complaining about that. Here is an idea....lead, follow, or get out of the way.

Richardson a secretary of State? You must be joking.

Why would anyone care what the California governor's opinion is about the choice for Secretary of State?

this guy is a RINO. he should just be a democrat. he didn't do a thing for McCain. One little speach about Obama's legs and arms. Big Whoop!

William Jefferson would be a much better Secretary of State.

Arnold likes all women, even Palin for VP.

Arnold is just trying to save his reputation at this point after campaigning so hard for John McCain and will say anything to stay in the public's favor no matter who says it. No principles, no original ideas on the table, no solutions, no nuthin'. Fortunately for him, his wife and her solid convictions and reputation saves his behind everytime.

To reiterate the general concensus, who cares what Schwarzenegger thinks?

Thank you Arnold. I am happy to see that someone else backs
Hillary for the for the Secretary of State job. I thank that the choice
to choose her would be a know brainier. She has the experience
needed for this job, and she has been a diplomat in the past as
first lady and as a U.S. Senator. I thank that Richardson would be
a bad choice. He lacks the skills and seems to be more of a two
faced person anyway. So Mr. President Elect, please go for Hillary.

While I support Obama's decision to consider Clinton, I want Arnold to shut up. He has said enough already.

Arnold is stepping places he shouldn't. He should be focusing on California, California, California. The state has enough problems ... why get into national politics?

The only reason why Republicans want to accuse Arnold of being a Democrat is because he understands America a lot better then the less educated Republicans.

I'd like to see Hilary Clinton remain in the senate. She may be too ambitious and hard-headed to be Sec of State. She should put that to work to become Majority Leader (I can't stand Harry Reid) and use her capital and clout to push Obama's programs there – especially health care reforms.

Richardson might be very good but (at least for the near term) Colin Powell would be a great choice. He knows the players, he has a manner and intellect similar to Obama and there wouldn't be any need for on-the-job training. He'd be up to speed from day one.

And you wanted CHANGE....you should have voted for Palin..now she would have been a real change knowing that she would have NOT chosen any of the above...there is NO CHANGE in this new ADMINISTRION..JUST PAY BACKS. You better keep all the change you have, because you will need it to get through these next four years. We are on a big roller-coaster with pennies. WHAT A BLOW FISH HE WAS AND YOU ALL FELL FOR IT....NO CHANGE JUST PAYBACKS..AND YOU THOUGH POLICTICS WOULD BE DIFFERENT!!!

That is the perfect chioce for the Obama Administration as Clinton his SOS. Brilliant choice!!!!!!!!!!!!

I hope Hillary takes the job. For all of you on here who say "Oh no.. Hillary back in the White House, that's not good!".... Well think again. Under the Clinton Administration the economy was the best ever, it was the most peaceful time in history, and America was at it's best ever in history. I even say.. Hillary for President in 2016!

That's the best move Obama can make she's a seasoned politician, and Arnold......... "I'll be back".......... to you with a response. Hillary has the most respect for the job give it to her. She cares deeply about the issues.
The country, and most of all the people!

I voted for change not for same old same..

while she is bright and smart, she wont take sos, that wont make her happy.. besides all of bill's links and deals and wheels with the saudis, (the brother of bin laden...Obama is not that dumb)

she can do well with Secretary of Health she has been saying she wants healthe care for all, well this is her chance
if she is SOS she and bill will undermine Obama,bill and hill want power, she will run for president agains the brainless jane palin, again in 2012,..
so ........

i hope WE MEAN CHANGE...
CHANGE

no same old same..

This Austrian will say or do anything as long as it benefits him. He is a
person who is contrary to his physical appearance Better worry of the fires raging in California.

it is a question of whether she is for the people or herself. if she takes it, she is for the people. it she doesn't that means that she will not settle for anything less than the presidency which means she is for herself.

CREDIBILITY ISSUES . . .

I'm sorry, but none of Arnold’s political advice can be taken serious.

I hope that he doesn't choose Richardson for Secreatary of State. I just wasn't impressed with his scope of ideas during the campaign; he just kept saying the same thing over and over again.

I think Senator Clinton would do a great job.....

Arnold is a smart man for those that don't now him, he's one of the very few Politicians besides Obama that actually cares about the people and not policies. That alone is a fresh change in Politics.

Hillary would be perfect for this or any other job.
She is smart and has a lot of experience.
I think that she loves being in the senate.
I really hope that she takes the job, it will make me feel even better about Obama's presidency.
Go Hillary!

you DEMS want change, The ONE promised you CHANGE, thats why you are getting all the clinton leftovers, thats CHANGE you can believe in, says the "brother"

Who cares what this idiot says?

Schwarzenegger – you better leave politics and get back to boxing ring if you have some common sense left. You have proved that you lack critical thinking aptitude by backing McCain and Sara palin
You are not even a good governor. Somebody rightly said-
If you are not doing a great job at your own position, you should not comment on how another person should perform a higher position.

He is busy appointing the same old Washington insiders after calling himself the change candidate. We will wait and see what he does in the first term before deciding whether to vote him out of office.

Hillary can best serve in the Senate to promote health care. As Secretary of State, her concern for even handed treatment for the Palestinians could conflict with Obama's chief of staff, Emanuel.

Putting Hillary and possibly John McCain in high-level positions in his administration would be proof positive that BO really wants to practice bi-partisan government. Hillary has a lot going for her for SOS; lots of experience, abundant international face time and recognition, and she holds her liquor with the best of them.

There's just one problem; she has this husband, y'see, and,,,

i think she is a good choice, kerry very smart, polyglot but his jokes are somrtimes out of bounce might cause a pandemonium, Bill richardson well qualified good negotiator, diversity and a different perspective but not as popular as Hillary on the world stage, political analyst Obama supporter for life and this is the only post Hillary can occupy in this administration or supreme court judge incase of any supreme court nominations.

I think Hillary would make a very large impact at any role in the Obama Administration.

We all love Arnold for his movies and being a likeable person but ... as governator. NOT. His opinions about the Secretary of State and the Obama Presidental cabinet mean nothing.

welcome to gop power moves 101, if you can't read into this what arnolds really trying to do ( see 2012), then you shouldn't be on political boards.

Schwarzenegger is an absolute traitor to conservatism. He won office in California on lies, and spent like a drunken liberal.

Hillary would be a good choice for Obama, however, I'm from New York and she does a very good job for us. I'd hate to lose her voice on our behalf in the Senate.

A.S. REMIND US OF BUSH ON STEROIDS. WE WONDER WHO IS GIVING THIS MAN HIS TALKING POINTS. IT CAN'T BE HIS WIFE.
THIS IS THE SAME MAN THAT GAVE TALKING POINTS ON PALIN DURING THE GENERAL. EVEN THOUGH HRC WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE WE FEEL THAT BILL WOULD BE TO PROBLEMATIC. LET US NOT FORGET HIS MOUTH DURING THE PRIMARY. WORDS DO MATTER, HOPE IS NOT AN ILLUSION AND HIS SOUTH CAROLINA
WORDS WILL NEVER BE FORGOTTEN.

Hillary in the White House again? Bad idea. She will draw too much fire from the right and Pres. Obama will have a heck of a time trying to keep the middle in line. She's too much of a lightning rod. If he picks her it will be the first wrong thing he's done.

And why exactly should we care who The Terminator thinks should be Secretary of State?

Who cares what he thinks!! He may have thought he was "cute' when describing Mr. Obama, but his humor was in poor taste - only for those who opposed the Democrats' candidate. I'm sure Maria had deserved fun with Mr. S. His humor shows his age.

He's such a stud.

It's finally happened! The smoke fumes from all of the fires have affected Arnold's brain cells. No need to be coy Hillary. Your hunger for power is well known. Don't be shy.

COME ON NOW!

GOVERNOR "I'LL BE BACK" NEEDS TO STOP BEING A WISEGUY.

THE WHOLE WORLD KNOWS THAT BILL IS HILLARY'S ALBATROSS-TOO MANY OF HIS FOREIGN DEALS WILL POSE PROBLEMS FOR HER IF SHE WANTS THE SOS POSITION.

May be he wants that job also.

Anybody got change? Give it to Obama so he can take a subway out of DC when he falls on his face. Obama is coming to DC riding a donkey with palm branches thrown in front of him – the Messiah crowned by his followers, which include CNN, MSNBC and the New York Times. If anybody thinks change means naming a bunch of DC insiders to your team – I got a bridge to sell you. Obama's staff will include Biden (35 years in DC), Clinton, (too many years in DC already) Richardson (20 years in DC, his chief of staff, Dodd, Kerry (20+ years in DC) and a host of other long time DC insiders. Obama has pulled the biggest fast one on America in a long time - We now have a junior senator with 1 year of experience running the country -- welcome to the Depression.....

sounds like he might be back in the same bedroom but not in the same bed.

BRAINS ON STEROIDS. HERE WE GO AGAIN, REPUBLICANS TRYING TO TELL DEOMS HOW TO RUN OUR COUNTRY. LAST TIME WE LOOKED HE HAD THE SAME PROBLEMS WITH MONEY IN HIS STATE BEFORE THE BOTTOM FELL OUT OF OUR COUNTRY. THANKS BUT NO THANKS FOR THE ADVICE EVEN IF WE DO FEEL HRC WOULD BE A GOOD CHOICE.

Who cares what this steroid using womanizer thinks.

Arnold is an incompetant liberal who should not be in the Republican party. How dare he advise a Socialist-Democrat about appointments, when his party is under political attack from the Socialists .

What was that negative crap you were just saying about Obama...you two faced Idiot...No one cares what you have to say!

Will someone please tell this governor to get his state out of the red and then GIVE advice!!!!!!!!!

I would like to know why Obama doesn't pick Jhon Kerry as
his secretary of state instead of Hillary Clinton.
Anybody know that answer.

Did you read this before you posted you have "Secretary State" while you mean "Secretary of State" small things such as rechecking your work can go a long way

So.....CNN: WHY do we care who Schwarzenegger thinks should be in Obama's cabinet??? He is a Republican who supported JOHN MCCAIN!

While I am a supporter of Senator Clinton, I am also a Californian. And, Arnold needs to be paying attention to what is happening in his state!

If we wanted another Clinton in the administration, she would be president elect right now. Barack has made a politically expedient move, as evidenced by Arnold's endorsement. I, for one, have had my confidence in Barack Obama shaken by this announcement. I guess it politics as usual, and change we can all now have some doubt about. I can't believe Barack has made me a cynical about his Presidency, and he hasn't even picked out the drapes. Barack, read our lips, no more Clintons.

Schwarzenegger is UNQUALIFIED to comment on Obama's selection for Secretary of State. This is above his pay grade. Arnold is a governor of a state, Obama is going to be president of the nation. Who cares what Arnold thinks. He's not even a good governor. His focus should be on improving the state of California and its poor educational system and other problems.

If you are not doing a great job at your own position, you should not comment on how another person should perform a higher position.

Talk about a major waste of space. Who in the He– cares about arnie.

He had the nerve to state that he is back in the bedrom. To do what, count sheep?

Picking Hilliary would be a mistake. That is why Arnold is endorsing the idea as he knows that Hilliary in such a top spot would create a rift as evidenced in her unprofessional, shrewd behavior during the democratic primaries.

This is the bright boy who thought Sarah Palin would make a wonderful vice president.
One more vote for Bill Richardson.

Schwarzenegger should be Secretary of State!

Ah, yes, keep your friends close,but your enemy's closer! Clinton would be nuts to except this position ,"courier de jour",on a leash. Yep, Obama has to make peace, but at what price ,and subtle humiliation. It' bad enough that he won by riding her coattails (mixing phrases/ rhetoric, and juxtaposing Hillary's messages) always as the latter speaker in the debates. Choosing Kerry is a joke, and Richardson's no more a (remember N.Korea & suicide? in US freed hostage incident in our own country) negotiator than Condi (the puppetteer) Rice! There's one choice I would like him to make ,and it's Clinton' first SoS Mr. Holbrook ,a no-nonsense SOB!

What a mess the United States will be with a president with no experience. CLinton should have won and everyone knows it!!!! THIS BS president will ruin the world!!!

Just wait when the US is in a worst state than it is in now!

HILLARY PLEASE TAKE OVER!

Moderate Republicans are reasonable and will give credit where credit is due, The only serious nay sayers in the party are the extreme conservatives who wouldn;t give Obama credit if God were chosen by Obama to serve in his cabinet.
Thanks Arnold for your supportive comments about Obama considering Hillary for Secretary of State.

I likes that.

Some of the comments about "old politics", etc. are worrying me, because those people aren't thinking about the value of using people who are experienced enough to know the ropes. That's different than staying with the "old boys club".

the governor is probably a conservative democrat.

Arnold may be a republican but he governs like a sensible democrat. I agree with his endorsement of Hilliary for Secretary of State. It is also imperative that Obama establishes a good rapport with her. Remember this is still Bill Clintons wife and will come with some of the built-in Clinton influence. However I have confidence in the Obama machine that methodically rolled from announcing his bid to be president all the way to the White House. Hilliary and Richardson would both be exceptional candidates for the position. I know this is probably a very difficult decision for Obama to make. I hope that each of these bright dedicated civil servants will be a part of a Obama administration.

Proof that smoking even a little pot causes brain damage.

Our RINO Gov.oner supports ............suprised?

Where is the change? Oh, I get it. He is changing from a Bush Administration to a Clinton 3rd Administration. Come on Barry...let's see some original ideas. And B.O. had better watch his back around Bill Richardson.

The Gropenfuhrer is no Republican. He's not even a C(c)onservative. He's a Globalist.

This society disgusts me. I'm ashamed of my fellow Americans, and myself, for putting up on high pedestals CELEBRITIES, who don't have a clue what normal America is, nor what it stands for.

Lord help us all.

Barack Obama inteligent human being this man has studied
America, people the country and what ever else he need to know
true he is human and he can make mistakes all so BUT
he told us "I will not be a prefect president but I will do my
very best and I will be there to answer your questions this is
a person who knows American can put up with a mistake
but America is no longer in the mood for an unfair
administration

First of all, I live in Cali and he needs to work on this state so who really cares about "I'll be back." We are no better off then with Gray Davis, he is only commenting now that Obama won...As for S.O.S I like Bill Richardson, Clinton wouldn't be a bad choice, but I don't trust Bill....He still seems like he is resentful, but trying to play it off for the best interest of the country....Remember White Water, they have alot of skeltons in their closet. Barack will choose the best candidate for the job/country!!!! He does his homework!!!

Sorry, the world stage is upset with Clinton. Her comment during the primaries "...totally obliterate them [Iran]" was too much of the "undiplomatic cowboy shoot first, ask questions later" USA bully image. If Obama really wants change, he should recognize that Clinton is not of stock to be Secretary of State. There are much better choices, even Republican ones.

Hay Arnold, pay attention to your job. Gov. Grey Davis was recalled and replaced with you, because you said you could get the job done.
But California's financial situation has worsened under you acting skills.
So keep you eye on the local ball., please forget and don't think about what's going on 3000 miles away from your duties.

We've all been duped by the party label! Schwarzwnegger, mark my word, will be rewarded by the democrats, who will scrap the 22 amendment to the constitution, which will allow him to run for president.

Who cares what he thinks. He should spend all his brain power trying to put out that fire and dealing with that budget in his own state. we already witnessed his judgement he picked McCain.

If Arnold suggest Hillary is the best choice then I say Obama better look for another person.

Arnolds opions is worth about a plug nickol.

Colin Powell would be my first pick, also my second and third pick

Hillary as Secretary of State is a great idea. I was a strong supporter of Hillary during the primary and was disappointed during the general election that she was not our nominee but I am impressed by the choices that Obama has made to be in his administration. I am so sick of the attacks and fighting from both the far left and far right of the parties.

After all the attacks and crap that Hillary Clinton took during the primary she showed what she was made of and campaigned hard for Obama in the areas that he needed to win. Give credit to the Clintons and I mean both Bill and Hillary for the campaining they did in the central park of Florida that went heavily for Obama.

Obama is making the right choice by bringing in the most sucessful administration of all times. We had peace and prosperity when Clinton was in office and we will have it again. Obama said it himself when Bill campaigned with him in Florida. Bill Clinton is loved and respected around the world and we do need another Clinton to clean up this mess.

please go back to California where there is a natural disaster going on. who cares what you think anyway (with all due respect)?

For the love of God Barack dont do it. The bottom line is that Hillary has no integrity as evidenced by her campaign. She cannot possible the voice of American diplomacy if you want to be taken seriously abroad.

@ GRIFF..... please get some help, man, you are SICK.

ARNOLD VOTED FOR BARACK OBAMA........ TRUST ME...... HE DID.

He just wants to get lucky!

I guess if you ever handled a gun or viewed a dirty video on the Internet, you don't qualify for a cabinet post. At least one of those disqualifications account for 95% of the list of prospects!

Griff shut up already!!!!

I think Hillary would be best at S of health and human sevices. That would put her in a better place for her plans for universal health care.

YES! Hillary for SOS! Don't worry about conflicts of interest because of Bill's activities. The Clinton's survived Whitewater and Monica and can survive anything as long as there is a Democrat in the White House.

I don't care how hard Obama looks for squeaky clean cabinet members, there are going to be characters with shady pasts popping up all over the place. In politics.... there are no purists!

Hillary would be an outstanding White House PressReporter, working with CNN. She and CNN would be an outstanding team, both are exceptional at maniupating the news to say what they want it to say. Hey Obama, don't miss that chance. Just think, the news would always be reported just as you wanted it to be!

who cares what arnold thinks his party lost. what does he know about politics he is a movie star as americans we need to stop letting hollywood into higher office what does that say about people in cali

Can somebody please tell me who cares what he thinks!!

Amazing how the die-hard Obama fans express chagrin at the thought of two intelligent people of great courage and conviction, (Clinton and Lieberman) getting recognized by the new Pres-elect as they deserve.

All through the Campaign we heard CHANGE< CHANGE.
but did it ever dawn on you that Obama's idea of change was never really EXPLAINED?????
What Obama did share at rallies was his admiration of Lincoln for brininging in political foes to strengthen his Administration. What he stressed in his book was the need for bipartisanship and the fusion of opposing ideals for the common good.
"We can all agree that we should work toward decreasing the number of abortions..." among other things.

I voted against the guy twice this year because I really didn't believe he would do what he said. But at least I remember what he said.

If these OBAMABOTS really think productive CHANGE in WASHINGTON means bringing in all your own new people to do your bidding, they weren't paying attention.

I never cared for kool-aid, but I am pleased as punch to see a candidate work to keep his promise.

Go President-Elect!
Do right by the conscious-driven Lieberman!
Use the talents of Hillary and McCain if you can!
Stop GRIDLOCK AND PANDERING IN WASHINGTON!!!!

She would be the most qualified person. She has the capability
to be the President, proven by her campaign performance, and
SOS, would challenge those capabities and she is up to the de-
manding challenges that position poses. We need the most
capable person, especially in today's world.

It's like old Arnold doesn't even have an ideology!!!

Thanks, but no thanks!

The Clintons era is gone, they can't be trusted....

Richardson is the man!

AND WHY WOULD ANYONE CARE WHAT ARNOLD THINKS? LOOK WHAT HE HAS DONE TO CALIFORNIA. ARNOLD NEEDS TO PUT A LITTLE MEAT ON HIS STATE BUDGET.

Arnold's opinion on anything means absolutely nothing to me.

Who cares what Arnold thinks. CA wasted all the money for the recall and A.S. did nothing new to make that a sound move. Why is he even chiming in on this..
Arnold maybe you should concentrate on problems HERE and leave the rest to the pundits.
Have you even said anything about the fire in Santa Barbara?

Obama, you better remember well, how Richardson so easliy stuck the knife in the backs of the Clintons who got his sorry self where he is today. Carville said Judas, and Judas it is, I say once a traitor, etc.

Schwarzenegger who do he think he is ? President elect Obama can work with any one who wants to work with him the question is will she work with him ? Schwarzenegger needs to make sure he can keep working with his family, the real truth is only President elect Obama and thouse
who he works with knows what his plains are so we should all
sit back and have faith and I do have faith that God and President elect Obama have this

Is the great President-elect dodging this issue???

Is this the unity President bringing people together?

Where is he???????

God help us all.... PLEASE, Mr. Obama... give us all the things you promised us during that long two years of b.s. campaigning... The people of our country deserve better than another Clinton ... pick some new, fresh, honest, patriotic Americans to serve on your cabinet and help the USA.

Hillary is not an honest person, we need someone we can trust as Sec. of State... Richardson is a good choice.
We need CHANGE, not same old crap like we've had for years from Clintons and Bush !!!

Mr. Obama, pick some good honest people on your cabinet, please. And help our country....

Well, that just proves that Ahnold truly is an idiot.

I would like to see her working in Health Care Reform. She needs to finish what she started years ago. I beleive she could get it through the Senate this time.

REPUBLICANS SHOULD BECOME LIKE ARNOLD SOME DAY; FORGET ABOUT CONSERVATISM AND TRYIN TO SHOVE IN THEIR RELIGIOUS CONSEVARISM TO OTHERS.
REPUBLICANS , ESPECIALLY THE RELIGIOUS CONSERVATIVE FACTION, ARE ANTI- CONSTITUTION. THE CONSTITUTION HAS CLEARY FORBIDEN INJECTION AND INTERFERRENC OF RELIGION INTO AND WITH GOVERNMENT. THEY HAVE YET TO UNDERSTAND
WHAT DOES "SEPARATION OF CHURCH AND STATE" MEAN.

DID YOU HERE THE SPEECH OF SOUTH CAROLINA GOVERNOR, DeMint? THESE GUYS ARE STIL LIVING IN THE DARK AGES.

Bad, bad, worse choice! Haven't the Obama Adm had enough Clinton connection. Remember H Clinton is all, all for herself and for B Clinton's $ coffer. She is an egoistic war enthusiastic. I will not vote or volunteer for Obama again, if he picked H Clinton. This is like inviting a rattle snake in. Is it because B Richarson a Hispanic?

Arnold is smarter than he looks!!!

Of course he'd back Clinton if he ever hopes to get back into his bedroom after disagreeing with his wife about who to endorse for President...

S is a jerk. Media: you really press for Clinton hard. What can't we just let the old lady go? Go somewhere else to show your shimmering jewelry.

How arrogant.

We don't give a – - – - what Schwartznegger thinks. Who the hell is he?

This is what is wrong with America ... reporters always deffering to the latest yahoo ... shoving a mic in his face ... asking for his opinion ... and then the egotistical idiot providing it.

So glad that Ar ... nold and NEVER run for President. What's ironic is he is part of the most zenophobic party ... and it's his party that fought against Obama under the guise of him being unAmerican.

Richardson is too soft. Hill would be great!

I would give Clinton the cleanup job for the new dog.She a proven liar and her husband sold out all Americans to China and our jobs to India.

Bad, bad, worse choice! Haven't the Obama Adm had enough Clinton connection. Remember H Clinton is all, all for herself and for B Clinton's $ coffer. She is an egoistic war enthusiastic. This is like inviting a rattle snake in. Is it because B Richarson a Hispanic
Schwarzenegger picks Clinton? S is a racist Rep. I am a democrat and non-Hispanic, I will not vote or volunteer for Obama again, if he picked H Clinton. Bill Richarson for Sec of State!!! Richarson!!!!

" blacks and whites are equal, but that Obama is the wrong one?" My guess is that you would never vote for a black man or woman for anything.
When Limbaugh, Beck, O'Reilly and Hannity are out there warning about Obama, and gun sales are up, and Klan members are parading around my town, that is a bad sign for America. What is wrong with people? Obama is not even sworn in, and the doom and gloom folks can't stop themselves.
On the other hand, had McCain/Palin won, I would be worried about the annihilation of the world in the name of "security." I would be worried about Todd Palin hanging out in her office with sensitive documents. I would be worried about John McCain not having a clue what to do for the economy, and turning to the current crops of crooks who gave us the wonderful bailout scheme. I would be really worried that my privacy rights would take further abuse from republicans who think the Constitution is optional; that executive orders are there to protect their misdeeds, and that the Justice Dept. is their to control. That thinking must stop.
Obama is not perfect, but he is a far superior choice for this country at this time in history. The racists will have to get a life, I guess, and stop moaning and threatening.

Every once in a while I look at these blogs - just to appreciate what I'm NOT missing. Geeze, people - get a life - if you look hard enough, you'll find one !!!!!!!

Commenter here need to let go of their CDS. Obama won, so stop trying to forward all of these terrible conspiracies about Hillary and Bill Clinton. If Hillary was as devious and manipulative as people make her out to be, don't you think that she would be president right now instead of Obama. She's by far the most qualified name floated for SoS so far. Obama supporters: Shouldn't his Administration be about creating the best team to move America forward? If he feels Clinton is that woman, then so be it. Seriously, enough with the Clinton hate!

I know I get to you eventually Lou. Plus this is the much-Shorter... Whatever You and CNN. Wolf, a Mr Cafferty may think.. My Comments are 98% Positive.. Only when you annoy me is it Negative..
You are my Next-Door Neighbor. Mr America.. What happens in the USA, causes problems for My KIds, and theirs... (All five)...
So this comment is also Possitive..

YOU HAVE TO SAVE GENERAL MOTORS..... No matter what you may think about it... Long Term this is the only way you can go...
Do it as you see it!!! Monthly... Six monthly... Yearly?????????

Did you take the Civil Service or SAT? How does Magnum Cum Laude? We have always had to work harder to compete, you jerk!

Arnold can you focus doing your job right – instead of getting a national media attention? Every time, you spend time out side of the state – we lose money – then you cut our budget big time. Please, focus in state I want to finish my school – you are not helping me every time you cut budget to uc-csu and community college – do me a favor too – go down south and support and energize the fire fighters and volunteers!

The Governator is something that the Repubs need in a bad way.......a moderate who doesn't get too bogged down in the conservative "social issues" ideological lock-step BS. Heck, I think he'd be a good addition to Obama's team.

Schwarzenegger has spoken! Sorry Mr Arnold, but your wise input is coming in late. You should have adviced your friend McCain to make a wise selection for his VP candidate, maybe this position will have been offered to you. I think Clinton and Richardson should be well vetted and the job be given to the most qualified candidate. Also, i am a little concern on the pressure this may have on the secret service if Clinton is offered this job as she receives service from them 24/7. I believe she and the husband should be able to seperate her job description from his Global objective.

Hillary would make a great Secretary of State, but who will babysit Bill?

God bless and protect our President elect and his family.

I'm sorry; didn't the Terminator also endorse McCain/Palin? Not a real strong endorsement.

stay the hell out of it schwarzenegger stay out of politics

Hillary would be a good choice but I have some reservations that were made evident in her primary campaign.

She said something to the tune that "we will blow iran to smithereens". Don't remember the exact quote.

This is something I would expect of the "bomb bomb bomb, bomb bomb Iran guy, McCsomething, I think.

I would hope that it was only primary rhetoric that she was giving.

This would give Iran ground to say that Israel should be obliterated.

I would like JFK and Jacqueline Kennedy's daughter or Maria shriver -Swaznager for Secretary of State. MY other choice is Colin Powell.

After Schwarzeneggers's endorsement speech for McCain (shortly before the election, circa November 1, 2008), I don't know why anyone would listen to a word he says. His superficial endorsement was filled with negative campaigning, fear tactics and was geared to the uneducated who might just believe that McCain is an "action figure". Arnie, I love your wife and her family, but you blew it with me. You can't even make good on the energy issue with me. As far as your quotes above go, you sound like a superficial male chauvinist politician. You'd be better to keep your mouth shut, change parties, and take advice from your wife. If you reread your own words, you'd recognize that you sound like Palin in a pantsuit. Go to school and keep quiet.

barack,, be wise and leery because many are goin to want you to appoint them,,, and first checkin out their credentials is of upmost importance,,, i trust your judgement ,,,

Who cares. He's got his own problems to deal with, like California's budget and widfires. Besides, I don't trust the judgemnt of anyone who strongly campaigned for McCain/Palin.

Whatever this Program is talking about??? Don't soft Talk me.....
I got involved with Your Election when those Kids were shot in that School. Just after Barack Obama had been talking in his Own State, and Wisconsin... Maybe CNN, and most of the Black's forgot about that... Way back in April............???????????????

that will be brillian if they can work together

It sounds like Arnold is less and less comfortable with the GOP. Come over to the Democrats, we'd love to have you on our side!

No matter where the Hill goes, she will ALWAYS get the spotlight and upstage the Prez.
Pamma

Who cares what Aaaaaaaanold thinks.

Anyone who, during the election can with a straight face tell us that he thinks Palin was qualified to be VP or even President does not hold much sway in my view.

Whose interests was he thinking of then?

Whose interests is he thinking of now?

who cares what Arnold thinks

We need Arnold.

It's a big risk for both Clinton and Obama, and Clinton may have too much baggage in the "Bill" compartment. Clinton might fail miserably, then she'd have to be moved aside or fired; of she might not get along with Obama and may turn into a lone ranger (again, something that would get her fired). I think this may have been an offer with no real expectation of acceptance.

Arnold is kissing butt to acheive his own gain. Go Hillary....nixed to Arnold.

He's a Republican......and he's standing up for Hillary?!?! His wife must have kicked him out of bed.

I think Hillary would be a firm, respected, and accepted hand with international partners, and maybe a little over the top for potential foes, and most important, she may be a little reluctant to stick to script, which can be a benefit, and a problem, because she can adapt, Bill on the other hand, seems too diplomatic at times, almost begging for peace, that could be taken advantage of if not careful, but he will in my opinion play within the rules framework. I would pick Hillary hands down, and move Richardson to deal with FEMA if Obama keeps it.

Steriods stuffed in a five thousand dollar suit. Pity.

another gop who really gives a sh-t what he says maybe he should take of the budget of calif.

Arnold is a nitwit who happens to married to a Kennedy. His opinion means NOTHING to most Americans. He's a twit!

ya he needed to seal the deal getting back in the bedroom lmao

OMG! STOP THE PRESSES!

A Left-leaning repug Gov. backs a Dem for SoS! Brave, Pacesetting & Daring! What next, America votes a black as POTUS?

Just joking – Welcome aboard AHnald...

Who cares, Arnie?

Hey Arnold,
You have enough to handle now with the fires go take care of California.
We really don't need a republican telling Obama what to do or not to do – the republicans have not had good judgment the past eight years.

President-elect Obama knows what to do.

I think this would be and excellent move by President-Elect Obama.
I'm a HRC supporter from day one and feel she is the best pick fr Sec. of State. I thought that maybe she should not accept but now I feel that Obama should pick only the best and HRC is the best, so I am 100% behind Obama, and this country will be better for this selection. If Obama comes through and selects Hillary then I know this country has made the best choice for President.
And for the first time since this election process started, I wil regret my vote for Sen. McCain.
Let the healng begin and we as Americans need to put this election behind us and start rebuilding this great country of ours .Good Luck, President Obama and God bless you and your family. And God Bless the U.S.A. Proud Latino now a Proud supporter of President Elect Obama!

Your comment is awaiting moderation.
I didn't know where to put this so I thought I would start here. I think it would be a good idea if CNN, who has actually done quite a lot in regards to trying to educate Americans about race relations and history in this country, should begin to throw a very big spotlight on the acts of racial hatred being displayed in various parts of the country since the election. They are not insignificant acts. They are venomous and dangerous. No one in his or her wildest dreams had any illusions that racism had disappeared in America, but what has started to emerge in the last two weeks is something more than just a few incidents. It represents a culture of hate that is all the more dangerous because it has lost and is frightened by this new identity of America, an identity it never understood existed.

I think the USA has finally contacted, the; Hardening of the Hearteries".
They have made the Biggest Mistake in their History.. Just to prove a Black-Man is Equal to a White...
Yes they are! But they chose the Wrong Black Man... This Guy (Barack Obama) has never proved he is/was even a true American. Until he Married one..
I never did trust him, and I never will Now it's your turn... It's really nothing to do with me! He is your Chosen??? Just don't involve the rest of the World, when you fcome to the same opinion as me..............

[...] after and we'll see just how excited Republicans might be. Arnold Schwarzenegger already championed the choice on ABC and just last night on Real Time with Bill Maher, Congresswoman Ileana [...]

Not Richardson please. He is not the right kind of energy that we need to represent the US. Clinton is perfect for the job if she wants it.

Hillary would be great at anything she does. She would have been the BEST President. But, as we know, Americans vote on aesthetics rather than qualifications....so, we have to deal with what we've got.

Hillary #45

Arnold.get out of the Republican Party. Get out ansd stay out. You are not nor ever have been been a Republican. You are the perfect example of WHY we lost this election. The infiltration of democrats into OUR party has effected the quality of OUR Party. The leftist will say anything to gain power. Conservatives wouldn't elect Arnold for anything. Only propped-up democrats hiding in sheeps clothing trying to steer the true republicans into the immoral abyss of the democrat Party...........The party of demoralizing the event of abortion to a precedure and income tax increase for distribution of wealth to the "poor". WE lost this election NOT because of conservative ideas........but the lack of morality of the electorate and ignorance of the young voters. They were hustled by democrats because they knew they were the most ignorant of all. NO apology to any of you.

BFD...
Arnie will never be on the national stage since he was not born in the USA (with apologies to the Boss)

Please let's not continue the Wilsonianism that we've had since 1988, which Hillary would probably continue. I voted for Obama because I want a change in direction in our foreign policy. America as global policeman didn't start under George W. Bush, it goes back to the end of the Cold War and includes Democrats as well as Republicans. Kerry, anybody but Hillary Clinton.

yay!! A republican that understands!!!

Who really cares what he thinks. I sure don't. Remember he backed the losers.

There are enough reasons why Senator Clinton should not become Secretary of State within the new administration.

Arnold needs enhancements dope to muscle up his body. Obama is proud of who he is and the way he is..Arnold return to Austria!

Ah-nold needs a cabinet post, too!!! Maybe Secretary of Health? Maybe he can redo that stupid food pyramid.

Who cares what he thinks ! He supported McCain and didn't have the guts to support Obama. Too bad he married a Kennedy.

Hillary Clinton for Secretary of State is a very wise first choice for Obama. Hillary Clinton is smart, an excellent negotiator, strong, resilient, knowledgable and experienced in world affairs and most certainly knows how to talk intelligently on matters of State. Let's hope Senator Clinton accepts the Secretary of State...we need a strong American like her to represent us in world affairs.

I hope this Email is read by the Obama people!!! He needs to offer Hillary the position of Secretary of State. She is made for the job!!!!!

Schwarzenegger is one of the few Republicans left on the face of the earth who thinks with a rational mind.

He must be lonely because of that...

obama should chose Bill Richardson for the secretary of state position, Clinton can be incharge of health department

Arnold needs to worry about the California budget and the wildfires that are raging. He has enough to worry about without getting in other people's business.

It appear that what the uhReverend uhJackson threatened to do to Barry has actually been carried by Hillary. He stands nutless tonight. So who is CNN officially endorsing for seceretary of state ?

Schwarzenegger who?

"She is a very bright woman".

Er, Arnie, your old-world sexism is peeking out again. She's so good, you wouldn't grope her.

No matter. I personally don't think Hillary is a good fit for Secretary of State. She's a legal wheeler-dealer with sharp teeth, better suited for Attorney General. Just my opinion.

Good Advice Arnold. It's a good day, no stories about Palin!

Arnold is a true Democrat (another reason I like him) – he had to chose the republican party due to the circumstances at the time he was elected governor of California.
Anyway, he needs to switch party's and show the world he's a Democrat.

Will the GOP kindly revoke Arnold's republican card? This guy has thrown more support to the leftist agenda than Barney Frank. Gays, Clintons, and amnesty are NOT on the GOP top 10 favorites.. You heard it here first (from a republican), THROW THE BUM OUT!

I have thought for a very long time that HIlary would be best at Secretary of State because she is so smart and is well liked by the people in other countries. She would shine.

I agree with Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger!

Hillary is Obama's best choice – especially when you look at the alternatives!

Say yes Hillary – for the sake of the USA and our global community!

The Repubs are really coming out of the woodwork to give advice to our president-elect... How generous! I'm sure there aren't any possible ulterior motives at play, no chance!

Bush you said free trade is good and that you don't want any regulation put on it, because it hurts free trade. What is it going to take for you to wake up and pull your head out of the sand. Free trade is a good thing, but not without regulation and oversight. What about lead paint found in childrens toys imported from overseas. Lead is a poison, the kids play with the toys put them in there mouths then swallow the lead. What about the contaminated milk products imported which is contaminated and killing people not just overseas but in the U.S. as well. What about all the jobs being sent overseas, thus making the economy unstable. I bought a Dell Pc and I have to talk to a person over in India, which I have a hard time understanding due to there heavy accent.

Someone had posted on another blog that the Democrats are spewing hate and that the Democrats should be renamed KKK. Excuse me but the hate and division all started with Palin at all her rally's, did anyone ever see someone at an Obama rally caring a monkey with an Obama sticker. I could go on, but I choose not to. So republicans stand up for once and admit that Palin was/is a domestic terrorist with all her scare tactics about who Obama was, up to a week ago Palin was still talking about Ayer's.

So the republicans need a desperate face lift with not only getting rid of bush, but also by not letting Palin ever back into the spotlight again. A good majority of the republican party did not even vote this year according to CNN, I wonder why that was. Was it because they themselves did not like Palin and found her not qualified to fill the shoes of McCain should the need arise. The Gallup Poll says according to all americans polled who don't want to see palin as a major national political figure 45 yes 52 no. Republicans couldn't bring themselves to vote this year, but they could not bring themselves to vote for obama. Another poll shows that 70% americans believe that Obama will help the economy. Except of course the hate inspiring Limbaugh.

Consideration of New Mexico's Gov. Bill Richardson for the position of Secretary of State is the far superior choice
.World leaders have not and will not forget this man ..very reminscent of of NBC's Tim Russert .

Clinton should have been the president, not the token Obama with no experience.

As a proud Obama supporter, I am ecstatic that he and Biden won the election. I am relieved that Palin will not be anywhere near the White House for at least 8 years. However, if the GOP is looking for relevance and leadership they could not do any better than Arnold. I would not have any problem voting for him quite honestly though I know that he cannot be president since he was not born a citizen but was naturalized. He does not argue with reason and science (global warming, etc) nor does he feel what other people do with their sex lives is anyone's business but their own. If the GOP would move in this direction they would be a formidable opponent. They would certainly lose their right wing, delusional, Left Behind, religious base but they might gain significantly in those who favor fiscal conservatism but liberal social views, and those who understand that humans will need to use reason and intelligence to solve problems of climate change, energy, genocide, poverty, etc. No one is coming from on high to deliver us. We will need to do it ourselves.

Well, I think we know who CNN is endorsing.

It is very good to hear Governor Schwarzenegger to express himself about this appointment. For me was very dissapointing to hear the Governor, at a raly for McCain, to make jokes about President elect Obama. For me it was like to hear a teen in a school yard. That was the job of Governor Palin, who lost the respect of all Americans with her speechs. Now is time for reconciliation not confrontation.

Why would anyone want to hear anything Arnold Schwarzenegger has
to say concerning President-Elect Obama's choices. The way he joined John McCain on the trail and criticized this man. Tell him to go away and help put out the fires in California.

Don't do it !

Clinton is sneaky and dishonest, and not to be trusted .

if hillary doesn't want it Arnold should be the secretary of state!!!

He absolutely right. I would go even further and say that personallity in this case is even more important. In these times more than ever other our government needs to present a truely united front to the US and the world.

This is the only guy that can lead the GOP out of what it is today and we cant vote for him

Arnold, the Republican Party is, at the present time, ridding itself of wishy-washy pols such as yourself.

The game is changing, sir. I recommend that you take the first train out of the GOP at the first opportunity.

You can form the line right behind Bush, and McCain.

Hang on a minute – Arnie is a REPUBLICAN Governor, married to a Kennedy (Dem), & spouts his support for the Dem party? Does this not worry the GOP? Still, I guess if there's some doubt over Obama's birth place, then Arnie could be in the running in 2012. The confusion is, where do his loyalties lie? Which party will he run for? Still, he's right about Hillary being the right one for Sec of State (even tho she REALLY should be President elect.)

I live in California and I could care less what what this fraud thinks. The people that I know who voted for him – I did not – only did so as a joke. He's a colossal egomaniac.

Hey, go build your muscles as your brain weakens more.
Nobody needs your suggestions.

What is Tom Delay doing on CNN? This worm, if it wasn't for "Texas he would be in jail. He even looks sleezy. Shame on CNN!

Is it just me, or does it seem like Arnold Schwarzenegger is on the CNN payroll? Why am I constantly hearing about his opinion on absolutely everything? Is the perspective of this washed up actor and dubious politician more valuable than that of the governor of any other state?

Why in the world does anyone care who Schwarzennner backs? Talk about non-news.

As stated above "Clinton would not comment on the speculation Friday." Of course she won't comment, she wouldn't comment when asked 3 years ago if she was going to run for President, and then she did!!! She is a lawyer, who knows how to NOT answer questions! If Hillary is on Obama's staff, then we will have Bill back again........ do we want another Clinton administration? I think NOT.
We already had 8 years of the Clintons and 8 years of Bush...

I think Bill Richardson would be the better choice. Gov. Richardson has the temperament, experience and is more in line with President Elect Obama's views on diplomacy and political change in general. He would also be loyal to Obama because he holds and admires Obama's values and sense of humanity. It took tremendous courage for Gov. Richardson to endorse Obama when he did, bucking the Clinton political machine and holding his own counsel.

I disagree that Senator Clinton has the tremendous experience that people are lauding. I strongly disagree that she would be the better choice because her ideas and strategies are not inline with Obama's views on diplomacy. She does not represent the change that is needed. Bill Clinton would also present an unwelcome and unnecessary challenge for the Obama administration.

the BEDROOM... the only reason, pure and simple.
He likes being back in the bedroom and out of the dog house... the rather large doghouse.
Really... does anyone really care what T-2 thinks???

Why does Arnold have a say in this? He can't even run California and will probably get bounced in the next election.

Obama will be making a huge mistake, to add Hillary on his cabinet, after all the negative things she said about him during her campaign! Why would he want her on there? This will not be the CHANGE he talked about, it will be the same old Bill/Hillary crap we already had for 8 years... come on........... Mr. Obama.... you said "Change", please pick new, fresh thinking people on your cabinet and give us all a break and a new start in this crisis our country is in!!!

Hilliary Clinton is knowlegeable and affable. I am happy to hear that she is being considered for the position of Secretary of States.
I hope that it works out

Yeah!!!

With Hillary as Sec. of State, Bill will have access to the White House and Sec. of State's office-–Monica Lewinski will be in the hallways and under the desks before you know it-

To add to the insanity, Rev. Wright and Father Pfleger will be in the Blue Room-–Bill Ayers will be making bombs in the Lincoln Bedroom-

Can't wait to see this fiasco–

Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger is too funny to deal with...and he is one of the most modern republicans you can work with.

There have been a lot of people who have opposed this, claiming this doesn't represent 'Change.' 'Change,' at it's operative level, means not operating the way this current administration has, choosing figures for important positions based on personal and political loyalty rather than competence or qualification.

I respectfully submit that placing someone as intelligent and as shrewd as Senator Clinton DOES represent some level of change, in that we know that the best interests of the United States will be represented in our foreign relations. I prefer my president select his cabinet among those who are the best and brightest this nation has to offer, and regardless of her 'negatives,' Hillary is among those best and brightest.

Plus, she's a potential challenge in 2012....."Keep your friends close and your enemies closer."

He just doesn't want to get kicked out of the bedroom again.

Does it really matter what he thinks...I think not...

You know what Arnold? I think before you suggest anything to President Elect Obama you apologize to him for those terrible remarks you made about him making fun of his skinny arms and legs and hinting that he is a girly man. How could you do that? It's one thing to criticize someone's policies, but another to mock their body parts or their looks. Perhaps that's a guy thing, or an Austrian thing, and even if Barack Obama lets it slide, it reflects on you. No wonder Maria goes around the house with a life-size cut out of Obama! You are very lucky she has put up with you all this time, and I hope that President Elect Obama will find some place for some of the Kennedys in his team, and who knows, perhaps he will find something for Maria to do!

I am so Tired of hearing what Arnold likes and doesn't like, what he supports and doesn't support. He has the IQ of a third grader. His opinion means nothing and CNN needs to stop giving him air time.

Schwarzenegger, while I'm a new Democrat this year and dislike you saying bad things about Obama and supporting McCain. I wish you well with trying to sort the proposition 8 mess out as well as the out of control burning forest fires, I've been to California a few times and California is one of the most beautiful diverse states in the Union. Good luck Mr Governator.

She's too much of a hawk to be SoS.

I believe Arnold and his Republican friends would love to see Sen. Clinton taken out of the Senate. We need every Democrat we have in the Senate and House, especially someone as capable and Sen. Clinton. Taking her out of the Senate would be a major loss to Democratic efforts to repair the damage the past 8 years have done. However, if asked to serve, I'm certain she will help the new President and the nation to the best of her abilities.

Who cares what Arnold thinks? He's a Republican. He's in state government. What interactions has he had with Hillary Clinton?

Can we even value his opinion? The fact is: California is no better off now than it was when Gray Davis was governor. The other fact is: Southern California is on fire! With all due respect, governor, I don't think now is the time to be sitting around discussing Hillary Clinton's future!

Thanks Arnold!

As one of the 18,000,000 who supported Hillary Clinton, I hope President-elect Obama did not invite Hillary to Chicago and then offers the job to Gov. Richardson.

I am not sure why his transition staff would leak enough information to now turn this into a competition between Hillary and Richardson.

How was that creating a win-win for everyone?

I like Gov. Schwarzenegger as a Rep. but we Dem. is a close nit family. said enough.

Schwarzenegger, you messed it up in Ohio when you joined McLooser in mouthing Obama. You should be telling us 'If I knew then what I know now,that Barack would win 364 Electoral Votes,I would not have goneto ohio with mccain'
Obama had even talked of putting you in his cabinet! Didn't you remember tat part?

What does Arnold know. . . he's a Republican!

Maybe Arnold is learning something from his wife?

hes right clinton is thebest

It seems that everyone is speculating on Obama's future administrative staff.

I say patience!

Just wait until President-Elect Obama's transition team announces cabinet positions when the time is appropriate.

THERE GOES "ARNEY THE BIG BARNEY!"

HILLARY HAS A LOT A STAKE, SHE'S SMART AND KNOWS THE ABILITY TO WORK WITH OBAMA IS ALSO IN HER BEST INTEREST. I DON'T THINK REPUBLICANS NEED TO WORRY ABOUT ANY CONFLICTS BETWEEN PRESIDENT-ELECT OBAMA AND HILLARY. HILLARY HASN'T COME THIS FAR IN HER CAREER BY BEING STUPID AND THERE IS CERTAINLY NO REASON NOW.

Hilary would be just great at the job of Sec of State, do not like Richardson.

He's right.It's a great move IF they can work with each other.Hillary has great experience in the global community but her ego had better remember that Obama is the President and not her.Obama will call the shots and she'll have to toe the line with his administration and no bringing Bill into anything without her first clearing it with Obama.

Whose going to keep an eye on Bill when she's overseas?

POOR Schwarzie.. his popularity has dropped in CA.. and he had to go out and "stump" for a loser; John McSame. He really liked Obama, but his party ties couldnt allow him to support a Demo, even if he is married to one.. Well, now, he can get off the couch and come back to Mama's room.. Im waiting for him to go away along with Sarah Palin..

Correction: liaison..

I said this before, but in reverse... "I come not to Bury Ceaser, But to praise Him.... She hates his Gut'es. But then so do I......................

My choices:

Emanuel, Axelrod, Gibbs, Jarrett, S. Rice, Plouffe, Burton, Richardson, Woman as Treasury Sec, Bob Casey, Clinton, Creation of a Civil Rights Liason Dept (CRLD) ,to act as watch dog over Homeland Security Dept, Colin Powell, Ken Hagel...

George never amounted to much after such hype...

Hillary would be the BEST choice. No question she has the credentials. It would be an admirable move. (Now if you heard Sarah Palin, that would be the most idiotic idea – but a good joke no doubt).

How is this for change you can believe in?

All extreme right wing southern republicans report for work on Monday in their local cotton fields.

Who cares what Arnie thinks?

Shut up already.... Nobody wants your advice...

yeah and he backed picking john mccain too.....who cares

Been waiting for about an hour for my comment to be moderated! What's up with that? I think CNN doesn't want any comments from Dallas as I've left many comments and NONE of them have gotten past the "moderated" stage. This is the last time I'll be leaving any comments at all. Tim in Dallas

No offense to CNN, but you guys really could have found a better picture...

The first time I have ever agreed with aa-nold.

I side with Arnold.
It was appropriate to ask Hillary first.

If they can make it work, the Administration would be the better.

I dont know what kind of a presence Richardson would have for such a high-profile spot.

Interesting.

DON'T DO IT HILLARY !!!!!!
Obama is setting you up. Making it moe difficult for you to run against him in 2012. JUST SAY NO.

Blacks voted 70-30 to outlaw gay marriage-

Yet their churches are not being attacked as the Mormons are.

Why?????????

And does anyone care what he thinks – CNN get a grip!

ok you can get lost now

I agree with Arnold that Clinton would be a great choice. Forget about Richardson. It is interesting how during the primaries Obama criticized Hillary saying that just because she traveled around the world and sipped tea with world leaders didn't make her more experienced than him. Apparently he DOES think her traveling was important and gives her experience.

who cares? he's a sissy!

Who the hell cares what this idiot thinks. He is worst than Grey Davis!!! And I live in California and I know what I'm talking about.

I don't trust republicans.Remember they wanted Hilary to be the nominee. They want Obama to lose his magic.

Since obama does not pick white women for jobs, only men it is doubtful that he would pick Hillary. First he and michelle are so darn jealous of her they probably wouldn't pick her. If I were her I wouldn't want the job to help him out. But then kerry and richardson are so whinny whinny and pick me pick me I wish she would accept if offered just to knock those two butts out.

NO HILLARY

WE WANT CHANGE

I belive that Richardson has more experience in foreign policy, but Hillary is not a bad option too.

Arnold should learn how to manage a state before he gives Obama advice. California has a $20 billion dollar deficit.

Oh give me a break... Who really cares what Arnold thinks. He who can't even manage California problems is going to give advice to the guy who managed to beat out two old politicians in a down and dirty race to become president... I know CNN, you need to fill space. At least it's NOT SARAH Palin.....

I wouldn't worry about Obama becoming "partners" with people, he needs to be liked too much which is why he spent his campaign ingratiating every racial, ethic and other group on earth. It's also why he's taking the Abe Lincoln model and looking for rivals to fill posts – because he needs to be liked. Boy is he in for a surpise.

I wish more Republicans were as reasonable as Schwarzenegger. There is too much at stake to play politics, we really need some good will from Republicans towards the Democrats. Dems backed Bush on tons of his endeavors (Iraq, funding for the war, etc.)...its time for Republicans to work WITH the Dems, not against them every step of the way. We have a country to fix.

Is Richardson begging for the job just as he was for VP?

Yes, Hilary is right for tthr job, She is educated, well spoken, experienced and has stellar credentials to represent the United States. Now compare these attributes with those of Sarah Palin.

Obama, must be very careful that he does not allow the "Clinton "slick" to engulp him. Clinton is bright but not a 100 million dollar bright. These are no more than influences fees by Bill Clinton. Be careful with slick Willie–remember "Change You Can Depend On"

Bill Richardson would be a much better choice in my opinion.

What nerve : /

I don't really care what Arnold thinks about Obama's decisions, who did he support in the election anyway?

PLEASE CANCEL "D.L. Hughley Breaks the News," !!!

CANCEL THIS SHOW NOW !!

No Way! The only women she seems to like, appears to be herself!!!

And his opinion matters why? He can't even run his own State and CNN makes his opinion a newsworthy story? Arnold has spent his life in a fantasy world of bodybuilding and movies.

I'd have more respect for his wife's opinion. Maria Shriver has lived and experienced the real world of politics through her family history and her own dedication to community service.

Hillary would be a valid choice but in terms of contribution to creating change that helps the American people most – I still think we need her in the Senate. She and Ted Kennedy can actually get a real heathcare plan enacted through leadership in the Senate. That is a far nobler task and contribution than the Cabinet post of Secretary of State.

Hillary is capable of many things but I think we need her leadership in the Senate to get real solutions enacted to benefit the American people. I know she can make a real and important difference in that role.

This is priceless. "Change"?? Ha. All the old Clinton cronies back in the White House?? Suckers. This is perfect. More of the same crap.

Arnold, maybe you should just stick to giving the Republican party advice.

I hope the Clintons keep a close eye on Obama–he seems not to know which step to take next–except for choosing a puppy. He did surround himself with "old politics" group who at least are dry behind the ears–he also owes the Clintons for putting him in power. No change here–however, I feel a little safer with the Clintons in charge.

First off he is not a Republican by any means

Second who cares who Obama picks as this is all such a joke

Change? Yeah, now his "Hope" and "Change" truths are coming out, as his "change" is only his so called change from George Bush who will be vindicated over time as was Truman for having courage to stand up to the lefties, and Change to a black president who no one has the guts yet to criticize and in a so called wishful colorblind society blacks voted 95% and better for him and Whites voted by a larger percentage than they did for Kerry many because he was black and they wanted to prove they were not racist!

Could you imagine if whites had voted for McCain because he was white and then he had won? Blacks would riot as they always do when they dont get their way

I can only hope now that this will do away with all of the unfair advantages on civil service and even SAT's that blacks get just for being black

Who cares what Schwarzenegger thinks. It's a great move!

Hillary as SOS is an awesome choice – Something I was hoping for even back during the primaries.

Plus, she gets Bill's experience to boot.

Brilliant!

How hard can being governor really be, between a gov. Schwarzenegger, palin and bush, it doesn't seem difficult.

I'm a firm believer that Arnold is a closet Democrat

I don't think most people particularly care about Arnold's opinion, but really believe Bill Richardson is the smarter choice for SOS.

I would`nt take any advice from Arnold, he would love to see the dems. lose a senate seat.......

Yes, Hillary could be in charge of choosing the wine for white house dinners.

i think he is a democrat at heart.

I still can't believe we have an action figure as governor. Not even a respectable actor who has fine tuned his craft. Nope, the California Republicans gave us this action figure who can't even pronounce the name of our state correctly. And now he is weighing in on national politics and giving advice to President Elect Obama. Arnie, just shut up.

Who cares what he thinks................

Obama wants Hillary in the Cabinet or adminsitration as then she cannot criticize an administration she is part of.

Hillary would rather be in the Senate, where she can take pot-shots at Obama, derail his plans, and position herself for a 2012 run.

And Schwarzwnegger? Who the "F" cares what he thinks about anything?

and why do we care what this guy has to say??????

Did you expect Arnold to say something negative? Arnold is a smart man. He doesn't want to be be banished again to the dog house by Maria.

I don't really care what Schwarzenegger thinks, after his ridiculous antics on the campaign trail with McCain, his thoughts are irrelevant.
He needs to worry about being Gov.....who knows how long he will remain in that position after his stupid remarks he made when he was with McCain....he may find himself getting booted off!!
Thank heaven his wife has more sense.

i'm a friend of sarah connor, where is she?
