Wow, has Republican Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger bounced back quickly from the devastation of his good friend John McCain losing the presidential election to this Democrat Barack Obama fellow. (See video below.)

‘I’m excited to report,’ Schwarzenegger told the session, ‘that in January all of this will change, because now there is a new administration coming in.’
