President Obama's Suggestion For Representative Anthony Weiner!
It may have been more prudent (to my mind), if the president did not suggest that this man aught to resign publicly. This kind of interference or commentary on issues like this one, does not auger well for his position as president. It is too personal (to say the least). And shows a lack of diplomacy in matters as sensitive as this.
Mr. Weiner is a fellow Democratic and a representative of his constituency. Therefore, I think he knows his responsibility to the people that elected him to office. And if he failed them on any matter deemed by the party or office to be un-ethical, then the party should deal with him according to the rules for membership discipline.
For the president to suggest publicly that a democratic representative resign, when that representative's behavior had nothing to do with the presidency, bothers me dearly.
