The Bill Mahar ~ Thread

On Monday Barack Obama left Weiner no way out after bluntly revealing: 'If it was me, I would resign'.

The U.S. President told NBC's Ann Curry that had he been caught up in a sordid sexting scandal as Weiner has, he would see no other option.

'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,' Mr Obama said in a Today show interview.

I'd like to put these words into Barack's mouth, but before you can pronounciate 'Yes We Can' backwards, you might be marked as an 'enemy of the state', so I won't even suggest that.

But even so: 'When you get to the point where, because of various personal distractions, - a phony birth certificate, for example - 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.'"
(Or: "...that's when you start dropping the 'one-term-president' word and hope for the best...").
