Default Who does Snow think he is?

White House press secretary Tony Snow has been injecting himself quite a bit into the information he dispenses, reportedly (no pun intended), on behalf of the White House.
Recently he stated, “There's an assumption that people have been given marching orders, and at this point, the president is asking folks to take a look at a number of things."
What exactly did Snow say?
He used to be a newscaster at Fox News. That is – he read the news stories and tried to make them sound interesting. A newscaster is paid to do that. So one night they report about a lost puppy, the next day about 9/11 and the day after that about Donald Trump’s Miss USA out all night partying. That’s the way it goes.
Back to the phrase above – Snow mentions an assumption about ‘marching orders’.
Who had the assumption? I didn’t, did you?
What people is he talking about?
What orders were they given?
Then he moves on to the President. I assume he means President Bush (well, there’s that assumption). Snow then mentions some ‘folks’ being asked to look at a number of ‘things’.
First, I’d like to confirm that is President Bush he is talking about, but, all kidding aside, which ‘folks’ is he indicating and what things are they being asked to look at?
This one sentence of Snow’s is the perfect snow job, don’t you think? Lot’s of words and nothing conveyed.
It gets worse.
Snow went on to say (at the same Press Conference) : “I think people are trying to create a fight between the president and the Joint Chiefs when one does not exist.”
I don’t really care what Tony Snow thinks – do you?
In any case – again, which ‘people’ is he talking about? Is he talking about you and I?
He comes off sounding like a bad sports reporter who showed up at a game late. He doesn’t really know who is playing or what they are doing but he is paid to talk so he talks.
I think that Tony Snow must be one of the bright parts of President Bush’s day. I can see him as he pushes Snow out on stage to give ‘em all one more Snow job.
I just want the facts. What we have now is a bad reporter reading bad copy to other reporters.
What do you think?

Cranston, I think you made an assumption that whatever the heck you wrote here would mean something to someone other than you.

Cranston36,

"FROSTY THE SNOW-FAKE" is just a Lap Dog for the Facsist Police State Administration of which million of CONSERVATIVES neal down too and take as gospel what coming out of that idiots mouth. Yep, Ole Frosty Snow-Fake has taken a chapter out of the "Donald Rumsfeld" podium rant of convoluted BULLSHIT.

I'm surprised the so called Vaunted W.H. press corp/news reporters don't all just get up and walk out the minute "Toney "FROSTY THE SNOW-FAKE" opens his mouth.
