“I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign,’’ Obama told Curry.

So, mr president, you’d resign if you were caught sending wiener pics online? What if you were caught in a limo smoking crack with a gay man between your knees?

Oh, to see him hoist on his own petard.

All we need is that one string, that one loose
end left untucked to start unraveling his whole
twisted Skein.

“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.

I guess that Obama agrees that Palin's decision to step down due to media-induced distraction was the right thing to do.
