It’s kind of hard to move past the problem when the problem just won’t leave!
Yeah, we’re talking to you, Weiner! Even though the President of The United States admitted he’d resign if he were in Weiner├óΓé¼Γäós shoes, Rep. Anthony Weiner refuses to leave his post in Congress. Democrats are scrambling to figure out how to save face in the midst of this scandal, but they are left with very few options.
But let’s get back to the President for a second. This morning, on The Today Show, President Obama went on the record to say that the congressman’s actions were “highly inappropriate” and swore he would be reacting differently if he was in this type of scandal. He explained:
├óΓé¼┼ôI think he├óΓé¼Γäós embarrassed himself. He├óΓé¼Γäós acknowledged that. He├óΓé¼Γäós embarrassed his wife and his family. Ultimately, there├óΓé¼Γäós going to be a decision for him and his constituents. I can tell you that, if it was me, I would resign.”
He might not have to make that decision to be honest. We hear that while Weiner has disappeared to seek treatment for “an undisclosed disorder at an undisclosed location,” the House quickly approved a two-week leave of absence for him and today are meeting behind closed doors to discuss Weiner’s future in congress. No doubt they are devising ways to force him out of office should he continue to ignore pleas to resign willingly.
Dude, just let it go. Your political career is over. No one is going to take you seriously ever again. Better to focus your energy on fixing your personal life, rather than your political one.
