MEXICO CITY (KCBS) -- Governor Arnold Schwarzenegger made his first comments about the U.S. elections today in Mexico, where he met privately with outgoing President Vicente Fox.

KCBS’ Doug Sovern, who is traveling with the governor in Mexico City, reports that Schwarzenegger applauded the changing of the guard and said the American people want bipartisanship.

"I think this is good, that we have new blood coming to Washington, that we have new people with new ideas coming to Washington. I'm not looking at it in a political way now, but I think it is good because Washington was stuck."

The governor’s staff made sure reporters knew Schwarzenegger’s statements were by no means an endorsement of Nancy Pelosi’s speakership or the Democratic takeover of Congress. The governor is known for his bipartisan strategies to get things done.

"They could not move forward. Not much was accomplished. I think it was terrible and that the people have spoken in America all over the United States and they've sent a very clear message to Washington,” said Schwarzenegger.

The California governor met with Fox at Los Pinos, the Mexican equivalent of the White House. In a private meeting the two leaders talked about illegal immigration and the border fence.

Schwarzenegger told Fox there needs to be a comprehensive approach to immigration reform and that the 700 mile fence along the border is an incomplete solution. The governor hopes job development and a guest worker program will be elements of the ultimate answer.
