ABC News: Gov. Schwarzenegger: DC Politicians Are 'Wimps'

ABC News, October 27th: In an interview to air tonight on “World News with Diane Sawyer” -- Sawyer asked Gov. Schwarzenegger about the clean energy policies that he says will be his legacy -- Schwarzenegger shared his thoughts on how Washington has dealt with this issue as well as what his plans are for when he leaves office.

The Governor tells Sawyer: “We need to go to Washington and say “look what happened. You, because oil companies have spent money against you, they have threatened you, you backed off the energy policy and the environmental policy in Washington. What wimps. No guts. I mean, here, you idolize and always celebrate the great warriors. Our soldiers, our men and women who go to Iraq and Afghanistan, and they’re risking their lives to defend this country and you’re not even willing to stand up against the oil companies. I said, that’s disgusting. You promised the people you’d represent them. You didn’t promise the people you’d represent the oil companies and the special interests.”
