At Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger's summit on climate change today, the GOP governor introduced a very special guest via video -- President-elect Barack Obama.
"I would like to introduce a video that is from our President-elect Barack Obama, just to show to you that we are now in sync with this coming administration, so let's see it," Schwarzenegger said in his opening remarks.
Obama praised the governors hosting the climate conference for their action on global warming.
"Washington has failed to show the same kind of leadership," Obama said. "That will change when I take office."
After the tape played, Schwarzenegger said he was "very, very happy."
"This is so important for our country, because we have been the biggest polluters in the world and it is about time that we as a country recognize that and that we work together with other nations in order to fight global warming," the governor said.
