It was inevitable that President Obama, leader of the free world, would eventually be forced to answer questions about Anthony Weiner’s propensity for sending women photos of his junk. And that point was in an interview with Today’s Ann Curry set to air tomorrow morning. As if Weiner isn’t feeling enough pressure to resign already, Obama let it be known that, were he in Weiner’s shoes, he’d call it quits. It’s not the same as Obama calling for Weiner to resign, but it’s a strong hint that he thinks that’s what Weiner should probably be doing.
“I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign,’’ Obama told Curry….
“When you get to the point where, because of various personal distractions, you can’t serve as effectively as you need to, at the time when people are worrying about jobs, and their mortgages, and paying the bills — then you should probably step back,’’ Obama said.
This is, of course, pretty much exactly what Obama had to say. Rarely has support for a notorious Internet pervert helped out a presidential campaign.
