Tony Snow's message at the podium this morning, via the AP:

"Well, Mr. President, I want to thank you for the honor of serving as press secretary.

And just a couple of quick notes.

I'm delighted to be here. One of the things I want to do is just make it clear that one of the reason I took the job is not only because I believe in the president, because, believe it or not, I want to work with you. These are times that are going to be very challenging. We've got a lot of big issues ahead and we've got a lot of important things that all of us are going to be covering together. And I am very excited and I can't wait.

And I want to thank you, Mr. President, for the honor. And thank all your guys for your forbearance. And I look forward to working with you. Thanks."
