Will Arnold Schwarzenegger be appointed to Barack Obama's cabinet?

Question

At the risk of alienating diehard Democrats, Mr Obama said: "What he's doing on climate change in California is very important and significant. 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." 

The Illinois senator has said before that he would include Republicans in his cabinet in the interests of reaching across the party divide.

He likes his environmental work so I'm thinking Secretary of the Interior.
Could this happen? And what do you think of Obama's non-partisan approach to appointments?

As a Lib/Dem, I like Arnold because he is just as smart as Reagan was....He knew he wasn't that smart, so surrounded himself with people who were...Arnold is the same way, so I believe it to be a good thing!!

I guess it *could* happen but I don't think it will.

Strategically thinking, Mr. Obama was probably just evoking Mr. Shwarzanegger's name to remind us all that Republicans have "foreign names" and care about the environment as well...

He was probably just tired of being character assasinated and drew the Kindergarten Cop out of a hat as an escape plan...

Sure -- when his term expires in 2011 and if he doesn't run for U.S. Senator.
