Administration, not only conducted by white house officials but allies of this white house want to know who anonymous is. How much weight is the white house taking these. You say theyre printing them out and basically showing them to him. Reporter my understanding is that, yes, he is, remember, this is a president who likes to have Cabinet Meetings where he goes around the room and Cabinet Officials and secretaries praise him for the work hes doing. This is very much in line and character with that. I will tell you, anderson, talking to sources close to this white house, i talked to one source earlier today raising questions about the strength of some of these statements coming from some of these Cabinet Officials.
