The Gropinator wants a cabinet post with Obama?
Schwarzenegger Suggests He's Open To Serving In Obama Cabinet
Says McCain Should Be Bolder in Crossing the Party Line
By MARY BRUCE
July 13, 2008

California Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger, a Republican, is hinting that he might be open to a position in presumptive Democratic presidential nominee Sen. Barack Obama's cabinet.

Schwarzenegger opens up on Bush's environmental record and the raging CA. fires."I'm always ready to help in any way I can the United States," Schwarzenegger told George Stephanopoulos exclusively on "This Week" in an interview that aired Sunday.

"Because as you know," Schwarzenegger added, "I've committed myself to be a public servant, because this country has given me everything. And so this is my time now."

While he described the scenario as "hypothetical," Schwarzenegger, who has endorsed presumptive Republican nominee Sen. John McCain, admitted he would "take call now and I'd take his call when he's president, anytime."

Obama has previously mentioned Schwarzenegger in discussions about his possible cabinet, saying last December, "There are things I don't agree with him on, but he's taken leadership on a very difficult issue and we haven't seen that kind of leadership in Washington."
