White House Says Penis-Tweeting Liar Weiner Is a “Distraction”

Sort of like Reverend Wright was a distraction.

The White House refused to ask Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-NY), the penis-tweeting liar, to resign today. They called his uproar over his behavior “a distraction.”
The Hill reported:

White House spokesman said Monday that Rep. Anthony Weiner (D-N.Y.) is a “distraction” from important issues, but he stopped short of calling for Weiner’s resignation.

White House press secretary Jay Carney, who refused to comment on the scandal last week, said Monday that “the president feels, we feel at the White House this is a distraction.”

“As Congressman Weiner has said himself, his behavior was inappropriate, dishonesty was inappropriate,” Carney said, briefing reporters aboard Air Force One. “But the president is focused on his job, which is getting this economy continuing to grow, creating jobs and ensuring the safety and security of the American people.”

Several senior Democrats including Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi (D-Calif.), Democratic National Committee Chairwoman Debbie Wasserman Schultz (D-Fla.), and Democratic Campaign Congressional Chairman Steve Israel (D-N.Y.), called on Weiner to resign over the weekend.

When pressed on whether Obama would like to see Weiner resign, Carney demurred.

“I answered that question,” Carney said. “We think it’s a distraction from the important business that this president needs to conduct and Congress need to conduct. Beyond that I don’t have any more comment.”

That’s right.
Obama has better things to do… Like the destruction of the American economy.
