Tony Robbins for President?
In May of 2005, Robbins was asked whether he was thinking about running for the United States Presidency in 2008; he replied, "Maybe. It's a very long time till then."
After listening to Robbins books and looking at the people he openly associates with (Martin Sheen, Deepak Chopra, etc.) one can reasonably assume that he would be ideologically disposed to run for the Democratic nomination. In his book, Awaken the Giant Within, Robbins talks about the problems with the ecosystem, homelessness, escalating crime rates, huge budget deficits, starvation, prison system, environment, etc.
Robbins is also known to be friends with Governor Schwarzenegger. Robbins says in his book, Awaken the Giant Within, that he supports tougher sentences for criminals. However, he urged his friend, Governor Schwarzenegger, to allow clemency for one of the co-founders of the Crips gang - convicted murderer Stanley "Tookie" Williams.
