Treasury Secretary Signals He May Resign
By JEANNINE AVERSA

WASHINGTON (AP) - Treasury Secretary John Snow has signaled to the White House he is ready to resign once President Bush has picked a successor, administration officials and people close to Snow said Thursday.

They said Snow has made clear he eventually intends to return to the private sector. They spoke on condition of anonymity because Snow is not ready to discuss his plans publicly.

It's unclear when Snow will offer his resignation Bushco is turning into the Titanic...

Remember Stephen Colbert's comment, "This administration isn't in danger of sinking like the Titanic. No! This administration is soaring - like the Hindenberg!"

;)

EVER!

what's he signalling with? a white flag?

Help! The country is trapped in a James Cameron movie!

--p!

He could lie, deceive and repeat everything about nothing endlessly. The only reason he could keep it up was that he obviously had no respect for himself.

...There's just not room in the WH for that much "snow-job" I suppose.

And another one does,
Another one does,
Another one bites the dust!

be resigning or be indicted in the upcoming months - Goss; "Iresign effevtive immediately? -- what exactly was the hurry??!

Or did he just give them the finger.

Like Pete Goss, Goss after firing all the CIA agents who didn't share the same views as Bush was the first thing he did after being annointed by Bush -- Hey, he served his purpose. Probably the hookers had a major role??

The ass who told Brazil that Antartica would be their only trading parner if they didn't sign on to Georgie's economic plan:

Rice's Deputy Intends to Resign, Aides Say
By JOEL BRINKLEY
WASHINGTON, May 24 — Robert B. Zoellick intends to resign as deputy secretary of state, the department's second in command, after barely 15 months in the job, aides and associates said Wednesday.

From his first days at the State Department, Mr. Zoellick has chafed at his subordinate position, frequently remarking that he was finding the adjustment difficult after running his own office during four years as United States trade representative, which is a cabinet position.

In addition, friends said, Mr. Zoellick had at times felt marginalized at the State Department, where his subordinates, including R. Nicholas Burns, an under secretary of state, manage most of the major issues, including matters related to Iran, Iraq, the rest of the Middle East and North Korea.

Mr. Burns would be the logical front-runner to take Mr. Zoellick's job, but State Department aides said Robert M. Kimmitt, the deputy Treasury secretary, was also under consideration. Still, a senior State Department official said there had been no serious discussions about finding a replacement for Mr. Zoellick because he had not officially resigned.

on the hindenberg...

Snow wants out baaaaddd.

Like yesterday.

Less than 24 hours ago, Bush responded to a question asked about Snow. Either he was lying or he is not in the loop.

Q: Thank you, Mr. President.

BUSH: I call him Stretch.

Q: And I've been called worse. Has Treasury Secretary Snow ...

BUSH: So have we.

Q: ... given you any indication that he intends to ... (CROSSTALK) ... leave his job any time soon?

BUSH: Secretary of Treasury Snow?

Q: Has he given you any indication he intends to leave his job any time soon?

And related to that, Americans - the macro economic numbers are indeed good, but many Americans are concerned - increasingly concerned about rising health care costs, costs of gasoline.

And does that make it hard for your administration, Treasury Secretary Snow and everyone else, to continue to talk up the economy?

BUSH: No, he has not talked to me about resignation. I think he's doing a fine job. I mean, after all, our economy is strong. We grew at 3.5 percent last year, had a good strong first quarter this year. We added 2.5 million new jobs. We got 4.7 percent unemployment rate nationwide. Productivity's up. Home ownership's high. Small businesses are doing well.

He's done a fine job. And obviously people are concerned about rising fuel prices. All the more reason to get off oil and to promote alternatives, such as ethanol or battery technologies that will enable us to drive the first 40 miles on electricity.

the Deficit Secretary John Snow!

Welcome to DU!! :toast:

:toast:

First he's tired of lying about how good the economy is.

Secondly, he's tired of having to hide how little he actually knows about economics.

The Professor

I'll have to google that.
