Scott McClellan has resigned as White House Press Secretary. With President Bush at his side, McClellan made the announcement Wednesday on the White House South Lawn: “I’m here to announce that I will be resigning as White House press secretary. Mr. President, it has been an extraordinary honor and privilege to have served you for more than seven years now, the last two years and nine months as your press secretary. The White House is going through a period of transition. Change can be helpful. And this is a good time and good position to help bring about change.” Time Magazine is reporting McClellan did not want to step down but felt internal signals indicated the White House wanted him replaced.
