Weiner officially under the Obama Express.

He doesn’t explicitly call for him to resign, still, I think this is enough to nudge Weiner out of office.

(CBS News) — President Obama said in an interview Monday that if he were Democratic Rep. Anthony Weiner of New York, who has acknowledged sending lewd photographs to women over the Internet, he would resign his seat in Congress.

“Well, obviously what he did was highly inappropriate,” the president told NBC News in Durham, North Carolina, according to a transcript released by the network. “I think he’s embarrassed himself, he’s acknowledged that, he’s embarrassed his wife and his family. Ultimately there’s going to be a decision for him and his constituents. I can tell you that if it was me, I would resign.”

“Because public service is exactly that, it’s a service to the public,” Mr. Obama continued in the interview. “And 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.”

House Democratic leader Nancy Pelosi and other top Democrats have called on Weiner to step down, but Weiner has thus far refused to do so. He says he is currently seeking “professional treatment to focus on becoming a better husband and healthier person” and is on a leave of absence.

Earlier Monday, White House Press Secretary Jay Carney called the situation “a distraction from important business” but stopped short of calling for Weiner’s resignation.
