Obama On Anthony Weiner: "If It Was Me, I Would Resign,"

Obama told NBC's Today Show:

“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.

Obama added that what Weiner did was “highly inappropriate’’ and that he has “embarrassed himself” and his wife and family, but said it will ultimately come down to a decision by Weiner and his constituents as to whether he will continue in office.
