So let me get this straight, 0bama just admitted there was no such thing as a shovel ready job, and he blew almost a trillion taxpayer dollars on the stimulus bills, and his stimulus also did not keep unemployment below 8%, and we are still bombing Libya... but he would resign if he twittered a photo of himself in boxer shorts?????

Which acts of misjudgement were worse for the nation? Hmmmm, blowing a few trillion taxpayer dollars on failed, moronic economic policy decisions, or tweeting a photo of your boxers???

Excellent piece of creative writing. Pretty imaginative. You should submit it to the New Yorker.

Comes a time in life where you have to put blame where it is due and sorry charlies, but Obama is too blame. Too much has happened under his watch, no other person, Obama. The worse housing criris ever, i know many bankers, and real estate agents, and loan agents, the worse under Obama, and still way too many foreclosures listed. Values of homes plummenting as i type, down down down. The President can spend, unlike what he said in many speeches while he was campaigining, how do i know, taped him so that we could play him back. Unemployment under Obama i know 14 familes who have lost jobs, and a home. Very sad situation. Obama took on more then he could chew when he promised a new era of HOPE AND CHANGE, cause no he can't.

I think he will resign by this Friday. Even Obama feels he should.

I can only assume, that if 0bama were Clinton, he would have felt personally embarrassed, over his poor judgment with the Monica sex scandal, and resigned, even though no damage was done to the nation. Besides the people feeling a bit embarrassed with a womanizing president, this sex scandal would not have affected the lives of the people of the nation.

But, when 0bama's policies have cost the nation around $4 trillion in debt, caused the economy to sputter, the housing market to double dip, and gotten us into a third war.... these do negatively affect the entire nation, and yet he thinks he deserves to be reelected.

I'm sending 0bama a digital camera and an application for a Twitter account, and I'll hope for the best.

Good point!

We could have imposed cap and trade and massive deficit spending back in 2001 and got started destroying the economy much earlier.

ahhh, good old Joe. Failure seems to be a resume enhancement for dems, biden failed to stop waste a fraud with the Stimulus money, and 0bama just put Joe in charge of cutting waste in the entire government.

WASHINGTON - President Barack Obama announced a new effort Monday to eliminate government waste and named his vice president to lead it.

Obama signed an executive order that creates an oversight board to work with federal departments and agencies to cut waste and improve performance. Vice President Joe Biden will meet regularly with Cabinet secretaries to chart progress.

The only reason the liberals are obsessed with the sex act is because Anthony Weiner is a republican. [edit] ( oops, he's a dem...i'd heard he is a pub...my mistake, but the rest still stands as I see it.) See Clinton scandal and he remained in office not asked to step down, to know that's true.

The bar has been lowered on the scale of integrity of the American people by the American people. I saw it then and I see it again now.

Apparently those who represent us can do and get by with anything they want to do, just don't lie about it.

It isn't the acts of sex that bothers me, but the lack of respect they both have shown for their positions as well as the lack of respect shown by the American people.

What happened during Clinton's time in the Oval Office, I will never see that office in the same light ever again. Neither will I see America the same as we just said, no big deal.

Wiener's sex acts?...it's no big deal. Precedents were set many years ago, to know that's true.

Weiner, himself, made this a big topic in the news media. Spending a week lying just made it worse...
