"The president is pleased Secretary Snow agreed to continue to serve," McClellan said.
Snow has not said publicly how long he would remain in the post, but with the administration pushing for major changes to Social Security and the tax code, he would not be likely not to leave soon.
Eight of 15 Cabinet secretaries have resigned since Bush's re-election, with six replacements already nominated. Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld (search) said last week that he was staying put.
One of "Honest John" Snow's GREATEST HITS, from "Ask The White House" in June 2004...We can look forward to four more years of THIS:

I recently had a friend challange me to tell him how in any way the economy is better now then before Pres. Bush took office. Unfortunately, I could not defend my position. Could you help.
John Snow
You can feel very confident in your position. First, this Administration inherited an economy that was in steep decline and weakened further by the bursting of the tech bubble. The United States suffered further uncertainty from terrorist attacks and corporate scandals. President Bush faced and addressed each challenge, and despite the serious setbacks, we now have a strong economy that is growing stronger.
GDP, the best overall measure of economic activity, has risen over the past year at the fastest rate in 20 years. Productivity, which translates into faster income growth and a higher standard of living, grew at the fastest 3-year rate in 5 decades from 2000-2003. Since the President has been in office, after-tax income has risen by 11 percent – that means Americans are keeping more of their hard-earned money. Today household wealth and homeownership rates are at all-time highs.
The President’s economic leadership and pro-growth policies have led to an economy that is firing on all cylinders.
