Schwarzenegger: Clinton "Could Be A Great Move" For Secretary Of State

ABC News:

Last week I reported that Sen. Hillary Clinton, D-N.Y., was in the running to become Obama's secretary of state. Today we learned that the President-elect and his former rival met privately yesterday to discuss the position.

This afternoon I asked California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger what he thought of a possible Secretary Clinton. "I think she is a very very bright woman and very experienced. I think this could be a great move."

Good thinking Arnold.

This would mean one of your Kennedy cousins could take Hillary's Senate seat. Robert F. Kennedy, Jr ? ("In O, The Oprah Magazine, in January 2007, Kennedy hinted that he would run for the position of US Senator from NY, if Hillary won the presidency­.") Or maybe Andrew Cuomo, or Caroline.

I agree

I haven't thought a little thing like the birth law was going to stop Arnie since he married the Sergeant's daughter. But, if Hillary, is at State,what does that give us as a transition team? www.sloohmembers.com/modsquad08.jpg

Who cares what this guy thinks. I live in CA, this man has messed up CA totally. He is the next person we have to get rid of. He never knew what he was doing. The only way he got elected was because he was the "Terminator" in a movie.

Long lines at the DMV, higher DMV prices, cut state worker's pension, cut teacher's salaries, higher college fees, the most foreclosures in the country, higher medical expenses, no raise in the last 5 years, he just increased a new sales tax, higher state income tax, etc. etc. I work for the state of CAlifornia.

But anyway HILLARY CLINTON would be a GREAT secretary of state.

Shouldn't he be up for re-election in 2010?

[truthynesslover]

heck of a job ahrnlod!

[novveronica]

Yeah hope he does not try to run again!

[style]

You have never lied. Style likes you.

[greatlardini]

I liked him in "Running Man" and "The Villain". However, one must wonder about a man who rejected the advances of Ann-Margret, as he did in "The Villain". You say he's in politics now?

Shut the hell up Conan

Arnie is a well known ra cist
black bodybuilders have come forward claiming that California Schwarzenegger has a history of making r acist comments.

[roshni]

And we know he is a sexist too. How can Shriver stand to be married to him?

[Earthmover08]

Are we kidding here? Is this the Obama administration or the retro Clinton house? Someone who exaggerates their foreign policy experience, including the Bosnian sniper arrival, does not belong in a role representing the United States to countries and people who care more about acumen and truth than partisan accolades. The people who urged bombing Serbia as a "Wag the Dog" ploy are ill equipped to be taken seriously in the world. (If you doubt domestic opinions, read the online world press comments.)

Every night, I thank God that this man cannot run for President.­...

[tydicea]

You mean unless the constitution is amended...

[motley2]

Yeah...but what does Maria think?

[partyofone]

Maria thinks its a good idea, so one of the Kennedys can take Hillary's Senate seat.

[notconfindtweenhatnboots]

That's one of the best argument I've seen for Hillary as SoS so far. RFK Jr. has stated he wants that seat (it's his father's seat). This could be a O's way of a round-about payback to Teddy and the rest of the Kennedy's for their support.

[rubinoff]

Me thinks that Maria is thinking she could have done better than Aaaaarnold.

And you can be, um, ambassador to Germany?..­..

[LiberalLo]

Anytime a rethug says something positive about a Democratic choice for a cabinet position, my radar goes off the screen. If the governator is for it, I'm against it.

[Marlyn]

What? No rude comments about her thick ankles, balancing out Obama's skinny legs?

[Maezeppa]

I don't care much about what Arnold thinks but I guess it's kind of fun to watch all the schmoozing and sucking up to Democrats for a change.

[mrcontinental]

Go away Arnie!
