Muscle man-turned-actor-turned-politician Arnold Schwarzenegger has called on Barack Obama to beef up his policies - and his body - at a high-voltage campaign rally for Republican John McCain. 

Schwarzenegger, the Hollywood action hero who is now the Republican governor of California, delighted a crowd of several thousand at a McCain campaign event in Ohio by ridiculing both Senator Obama's policies and his slender physique. 

The Austrian-born former Mr Universe has hosted a bodybuilding tournament in Columbus for several years, and opened his address by inviting Senator Obama to participate in the next event. 

'Every year in March I come here to organise the Arnold Classic, which is all about building the body and pumping,' Schwarzenegger said. 

'That's why I want to invite Senator Obama because he needs to do something about those skinny legs. I'm going to make him do some squats. 

'And then we're going to make him do some biceps curls to beef up those scrawny little arms. But if he could only do something about putting some meat on his ideas. 

Beef Up, Schwarzenegger Tells Obama

congrats...

Barack Hussein Obama was elected the 44th president of the United States on Tuesday, sweeping away the last racial barrier in American politics with ease as the country chose him as its first black chief executive.

Mr. Obama’s election amounted to a national catharsis — a repudiation of a historically unpopular Republican president and his economic and foreign policies, and an embrace of Mr. Obama’s call for a change in the direction and the tone of the country.

the Energinator?...

Dream team - will the Terminator star in Obama's next act?

He's been a body-builder, a movie star and leader of the most populous state in the US. But could Arnold Schwarzenegger, now nearing the end of his days as California's governor, be offered a place at Barack Obama's side in Washington?

Speculation is swirling that Schwarzenegger will be offered the role of energy czar in the incoming Obama administration. There has been Beltway chatter about the prospect ever since he was named as a contender for the job by the authoritative politico.com website.

At first blush, this seemed an unlikely prospect. Schwarzenegger likes to live large: he has the Hummers (although he cut down the size of his fleet), the Harley Davidson that he likes to ride along the Pacific coast at weekends, the private jet he takes several times a week from his home near Los Angeles to his office almost 400 miles away in Sacramento. And then he has the high-emission cigar habit.
